C&Y critic Bayer takes his campaign to voters
(This post is also running at the American Family Rights Association forum)

Bruce Bayer, “A vocal critic of a county child protection agency, is mounting a write-in campaign for Monroe County commissioner. ”

Basically the readers digest version of the story was that Bayer thought C&Y (Pennsylvania’s CPS) would help, instead they took his stepsons away.

“We will be working now to tell other parents in Monroe County about Children and Youth and to warn them never to look to Children and Youth for help.”, says Mrs. Bayer.

While there was no abuse found, there was still a delay in returning the children. The outrage FROM the public, as the newspaper ran the stories on this case, helped speed up the process, forced several foster parents to return the kids back to the agency because “they couldn’t take the public outcry”, and the county commissioner (who is assigned to oversee C&Y) has offered no comment on the situation.

Now Mr. Bayer is after her job in the hopes to make a difference.

You know me. I *ALWAYS* end things on a high note. :0)

It’s not a goodbye.
It’s more like, I’m moving on, and hoping to catch you all on the flip side. Hopefully I’ll meet a whole bunch of you cool people next weekend.

I just want to leave you all with one last thing to ponder…

The past is exactly what it is… the past.
It’s gone now, and you can’t go back.
The future is unwritten and uncertain.
No one promised you a “tomorrow”, did they?

All we have is today. The here and now.
Live it to the fullest.
With lots of love, enthusiasm, and balls of steel.

Leave your mark and make a difference.

If you're not making enemies, you're not making a difference.

Cutesy-ness ahoy!

HAH!!!! Not to be outdone by Batgrl and her Sleestak (it’s also the plural like “deer” and “moose”. I never knew that.).

I give you…

He’s also cute and fluffy.

If you can sit through this movie, and not cry (even once)… I can only come to one conclusion:

You are a terrible person.

I will hunt you down, and test your tear ducts by putting cigarettes out in your FRIGGIN EYEBALLS! I will MAKE YOU CRY one way or another, you heartless, evil HORROR of a human being!!!!!

You make me sick.
Bastards.

[Verse 1: Eminem]
I’ve created a monster, cause nobody wants to see Eric no more
They want -e-, I’m chopped liver (huh?)
Well if you want The Enemy, this is what I’ll give ya
A little bit of wit mixed with some hard coding
Some MT that’ll jump start my site loading
than a shock when I get shocked at the hospital
by the doctor when I’m not co-operating
When I’m rockin the TABLE while he’s operatin (hey!!)
You waited this long, now stop debating
Cause I’m back, I’m on the rag and ovu-lating
I know that you got a blog Ms. kd
but your Surreally site is complicating

... now this looks like a job for me...So Zeldman’s friends won’t let me be
or let me be me, so let me see
They try to shut me down on MeFi’s screen
But blogland’s boring without me
So, come on and dip, rum on your lips
Fuck that, cum on your lips, and some on your tits
And get ready, cause this shit’s about to get cra-zayyy
I just settled all my lawsuits,
FUCK YOU, PA!

[Chorus: -e-]
Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody, just link to me
Cause we need a little, controversy
Cause the web’s so boring without me
I said this looks like a job for me
So everybody, just link to me
Cause we need a little, controversy
CAUSE THE WEB’S SO BORING WITHOUT ME

Marshall, Dre & Moi[Verse 2: Eminem]
Raizin’ Hellions, Miz Kitty’s rebellious
Embarrassed their parents still readin’ the AList
They start feelin like prisoners helpless
’til someone comes along on a mission and yells DICK!!!

A visionary, vision of scary
Could start a revolution, pollutin the airwaves
A rebel, so just let me revel and bask
in the fact that I got everyone kissin my ass {*smak*}
And it’s a disaster, such a catastrophe
for you to see so damn much of Dawn’s ass; you asked for me?
Well I’m back, nananananananananana
{*bzzt*} Fix your damn comments tune it in and then I’m gonna
enter in, in the front of your skin like a splinter
The center of attention, back for the winter
Erox: The -e- ShowI’m interesting, the best thing since ranting
What’s brewin’? ‘Round the bend, panting
{*bzzt*} Testing, attention please
Feel the tension, soon as someone mentions SLEAZE
Here’s my ten cents, my two cents is free
TRACKBACK, PINGBACK? YOU SENT FOR ME?

[Chorus: Obie]
Now this looks like a job for me
So everybody, just link to me
Cause we need a little, controversy
Cause the web’s so boring without me
I said this looks like a job for me
So everybody, just link to me
Cause we need a little, controversy
CAUSE THE WEB’S SO BORING WITHOUT ME

Up, Up, & away![Verse 3: Dre]
A-tisket a-tasket, I go tit for tat with
anybody who’s talkin this shit, that shit
Wil Wheaton, you’re due for a beat-in’
worse than them little MeFi cretins
And Godzilla? You can get stomped by Davezilla
You 90-year-old slant-eyed sil-ly sill-az!
You don’t know me, you’re too old, we resist
It’s over, nobody listens to your cease-and-desist
Now let’s go, let’s see the results
I’ll be there with a whole list full of new insults
I been dope, a linkwhore with a keyboard
you even stare as I polish my new sword {*knife slices*}
But sometimes the shit just seems
everybody only wants to discuss me
So this must mean I’m dis-gus-ting
But it’s just me, I’m just obscene

No I’m not the first king of controversy
I am the worst thing since reading Hoopty
to do mad blogging so skill-fully
and used it to make people ill for me
(Hey!!) There’s a concept that works
Twenty million other blog-gy bloggers emerge
But no matter how many fish in the sea
IT WOULD BE SO BORING WITHOUT ME!

A non-retractive-retraction

Before any more emails come in… let me just clarify a few things that got missed in my middle-of-the-night babbling.

1 – I’m not giving up blogging.
Like I said “this was *SUPPOSED* to be my ‘good-bye’ post.”. Just as I told Nico a few weeks back, that my post about opinions was originally meant to be my last one, but I ended up omitting some of the stuff I wrote below.

2 – There are those who believe (sneering suspiciously at two unnamed people in particular.) That I am *incapable* of staying out of blogland (or, for that matter, TROUBLE) for any given period of time anyway… so why embarrass myself with a goodbye, when I’ll be back in a month or two anyway?

They’re probably right too. I taste the blood of fresh prey and I just spring INTO the feast. I smell fear, and I get a woody. And GAWD blogland is just a virtual smorgasbord of hypocrites and jerks to feed on. :0)

-e- piphany

“I love a few, like a few more, but hate many. I am not your best friend just because I relate. I am good at relating, but I am not so good at accepting everything I read. It’s just not me. Is it you, really?”
~ Angel ~

“While weblogs are essentially a good thing, I feel like it put a lot more people, maybe too many people, on common ground. I think this is the first time that’s ever really happened on the ‘Net… I just cannot say I don’t miss the old days, when things were simpler because the scope was smaller, because I do miss them very much. “
~ Angel (again) ~

I’d love nothing more right now to accuse Angel of flat-out PLAGIARISM for these two posts. They’re word-for-word straight out of my thoughts. Stuff that’s been in my heart for months, maybe years… only, they ARE her words. She managed to articulate this better than I ever could, and got it out first.

You have to understand first, that the Web that Angel and I (and quite a few of you) knew is a different one FROM the one we’re in now. Back then, you had larger-than-life “Web Celebs”: Zeldman, Powazek, Kottke, Miz Kitty, Halcyon, Heather Champ, Lance Arthur, Glenn Davis… you aspired to be like them. You stole bits and pieces of their source code to learn “how they did it”.

And here’s where I piss everyone off.
(Let me say in advance, “Fuck you” if you can’t take my brutal honesty.)
Then weblogs came and fucked it all up.
Then, when you thought it couldn’t get worse… Slashdot and MetaFilter fucked it even more.

Hollow Be Thy Name: The origin of Anarchtica

Sherri recently asked, as did Shasta. “What the hell is up with this site and all the disturbing imagery?”. I made a lot of new web friends over the last few months… to explain this all would require a recap of the last 2 1/2 years of my life (which most of my friends that come here already know).

This was buried in the comments, I thought I’d reprint it:

Once upon a time, I had a fancy ol’ dot com address, I named my whole little world “CyberTown”… tons of downloads, real successful site. That little guy there in the blue zorro outfit was my mascot “CyberPal”.

Due to personal problems this time last October, I flipped out, tore it all down, put up a blog called “Enemy of the State”, lots of whining about my problems (very therapeutic) my CyberPal mascot becomes this masked avenger for justice.

In July of this year, I was hit with court orders to remove certain content… it was easier to just tear it all down and start again. (I just don’t have the time now…)

So “A N A R C H T I C A” is the sequel to “Enemy of the State”… it picks up with Cybertown being decimated and overrun by Astaroth and his demonic forces.

(The picture you’re talking about is a couple embracing themselves before the nuclear explosions turn them into skeletons…)

No hope, and the only way out is by way of a body bag.
Happy, chipper stuff, y’know? :0)
