Chicken John For Mayor Video and Site
This from Laughing Squid:
- Hear AND see why and how you should vote for Chicken John in the Video: Help Chicken John Run For Mayor of San Francisco
- VoteForChicken.com site to further illuminate San Franciscans on resusitating a “city of art and innovation” (not to mention the chance to drive a truck into that Embarcadero giant bow and arrow sculpture if he’s elected! YES!!)
Burning Man 2001: Satan’s Birthday Party
I love these heart-broken crazy soapbox rants from those who would impose their tiny-box religious views of mind and body control. They speak as though the rest of us humans can even understand what they’re talking about!
This is the second (see the first) major article I’ve found on the wretched evils of Burning Man circa 2000-01. Must have been one hellavah time at BRC! Lee Harvey is obviously be a Satin-Worshiping-Free-Mason-Symbol-Power-Pushing-World-Domination-Evil-Free-Love-Pedophile-Sodomist-Secular-Humanist. He definitely prefers burning real people like his idols the Druids, while defiantly spitting in the face of America by single-handedly crushing the stock market down each year in a trickster’s delight as any godless Lucipher loving neo-pagan should.
Of course, the article comes complete with amazing burning SATAN graphics!
Burning Man 2001: Satan’s Birthday Party
LOL:
Many of these independent camps are so disgusting and distasteful that they defy explanation. In a new age Mecca where anything goes, people can get creative in an evil way. They are encouraged to leave their inhibitions behind and they do.
I knew I was in a modern day Sodom and Gomorrha, but I had to believe that the Lord had not closed the door to his mercy on these precious souls. Nevertheless, my heart was broken by what I witnessed. I know Jesus loves them, I didn’t need to be reminded of that, but that didn’t prevent my stomach from turning when seeing men kissing and groping each other. Thousands of people were wandering aimlessly around. To find themselves, or express themselves, I’m told. Certainly not to justify depravity, or to reverse the meanings of the words ‘good’ and ‘evil’. There were many nude, many cross-dressers, and those just trying to look as freakish as possible. Haven’t you heard? It’s all art.
As I was leaving the Burning Man ritual, the Lord impressed upon my heart that this country would be judged for it. In commenting on a 200 point drop in the stock market for the week prior to Labor Day, Lou Dobbs of CNN’s Moneyline stated that just about every year at this time, it takes a dive and then quickly recovers shortly after Labor Day. Christian author John McTernan has shown where the Lord has judged this country using natural disaters as well as the stock market, in response to its abominable actions. The World Trade Center tragedy of September 11, happened ten days after Burning Man, and while I believe that Burning Man strongly contibutes to the judgements that are to befall this country, I wouldn’t say that the WTC disaster happened specifically because of it.
Burning Man Festival Doc on Joost
Joost (from the Skype folks) is a new and interesting arrival on the Web TV scene, combining high-quality content and intelligent interactive features. The software is maturing through its Beta stages and programs are starting to appear on the network. The Burning Man Festival documentary is now available for viewing.
Alas, someone please tell me how it’s working out as my machine isn’t fancy enough to run Joost (requires Intel Macs or a fast Windows box).
Secret Garden Party 2007
Apparently, the organizers of the Secret Garden Party 2007 in the U.K. went to Burning Man in 2006 and have taken much of the burner spirit across the pond including theme camps, participation and community art, and a brand-free environment to play in. One advantage is a deeper focus on performance stages and live music acts.
Looks mighty fun! Is there a tube across the Atlantic yet?
Origin of Flight to Mars

Chicken John for S.F. Mayor
Chicken John who would be mayor / Burning Man devotee says his platform is bed of pickup truck by Cecilia M. Vega, S.F. Chronicle Staff Writer.
If only… * sigh * … Go Chicken John!
His platform, he says, is the bed of his 1975 GMC pickup, which he converted to a zero-emissions vehicle that runs on coffee grounds and walnut shells. His party affiliation is simple: “I like to party. Party hardy.”
“The government should be like someone you want to invite to the party, not someone you would call to do your taxes,” he said last week during an interview about his candidacy. “The government body of San Francisco should be intoxicated every once in a while on a Friday afternoon, or have a piercing.”
Among his complaints: “Our city is being turned into a f — ing strip mall. It’s being turned into a suburb.”
The people who are running the city don’t have any new ideas, and they’re just boring, he said, adding that there’s not enough art and innovation in the political process, and too many creative minds are moving out.
Even if he doesn’t become mayor, there is one thing he still wants to do. “I want to drive my pickup truck into the bow and arrow even if I don’t have permission,” he said. “Where’s all the whimsy gone?”
