Sydney IV

[barondave]

Well, I'm off to do Shockwave (subject: Misplaced Faith, laughing at the Creation Museum). I'll return briefly and head to the airport. Naturally, the question on everyone's mind is: What songs are you going to put on the CD for your eight year old niece? After due thought, eliminating the songs that were on previous CDs, picking songs in several different languages and being a little subversive as is the obligation of uncles:

It is such a comfort to think that the likes of you are providing the much-needed mocking for the Creation museum. Go to it, man! That's an important job.

The Powerful Hanna-Barbera Lobby

Brian Westley and I figured out the real power behind The Creation Museum: The powerful Hanna-Barbera Lobby, working to keep their franchise The Flintstones in the public eye. People and dinosaurs coexisting! Birds used as phonograph needles! Wooly Mammoths at Dealy Plaza! It all fits.
