Some Among Us Still Believe the Earth is Flat

I wonder how high her tin foil hat is - and how many twirly bits are on it?  This is funny.  It is a relief to realize this particular lunatic fringe fundie is on the northern side of our common border with Canada.

It is funny....right up until you realize the religoius right on both sides of that border votes, and is not debarred by what should be the very earnest disqualification of wackiness / out of touch with reality disability.

It's earth day.  I've already written enough this weekend, so I'm going to skate by with celebrating Earth Day on the blog with a cover of the song I've got looping through my head after reading this.  How does Earth Day figure intot his story, you may wonder?  I've included a cover of the song in my head from this story by 'Green Day' which seems close enough to Earth Day to serve here. (Laugh here.  I wouldn't want to become too predictable.) 

Bet you have the song stuck in your head now too - you're welcome! You're doubly welcome if you're humming it while cruising along in your 'ecclesiastical pursuit chariot'.

Woman fights traffic ticket for 'ecclesiastical pursuit chariot'

2 hrs ago

A woman with homemade paper license plates who calls her car her "Ecclesiastical pursuit chariot" is trying (thus far unsuccessfully) to get out of paying three traffic tickets by claiming a religious exemption. Catherine Flamond is part of a Christian group that doesn't recognize the Canadian government (deferring instead to the King James Bible), wrote a Charter notice claiming the law doesn't apply to her because she is "bound only by God, the Queen of England and the Constitution Act of 1982" -- not the Alberta Traffic Safety Act. Instead, Flamond handcrafted her own ostensibly more authentic license plates out of paper for her 1994 Mercury Sable bearing the Rom. 11:29 biblical verse. Her court battle began when she was pulled over for not having proper plates.
