I am a man on the run. As far as the Party is concerned, I am the living embodiment of subversion. Of social breakdown. Of chaos.

Happy Saviors Day, everybody!
No, no, not that one!
This one:
Anyway, some highlights of the fantabulous Savior's Day celebration in Allah-enchanted Chicago, Illinois:
Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan predicted on Sunday that America faces imminent uprisings that mirror those in the Middle East.
“What you are looking at in Tunisia, in Egypt … Libya, in Bahrain … what you see happening there … you’d better prepare because it will be coming to your door,” Farrakhan said in a booming voice, thousands of followers cheering in his wake.
Okay, so Farrakhan predicts Mideast-style uprisings will soon come to the USA, a prediction I could care less about. Let's go on.
The keynote address, titled “God will send saviours,” capped a weekend of workshops focused on health, preparing for natural disasters and unidentified flying objects.
Saviors, workshops, health, disaster prep, UFO prep, blah blah blah...wait. Back up. What was that last one?
For about four hours, Farrakhan spoke and jumped from topic to topic, citing religious texts.
He praised Scientology and its founder L. Ron Hubbard.
Farrakhan extolled the virtues of Scientology and its auditing process, which is considered spiritual counseling by its members.
“L. Ron Hubbard is so exceedingly valuable to every Caucasian person on this earth,” Farrakhan said.
“… L. Ron Hubbard himself was and is trying to civilize white people and make them better human beings and take away from them their reactive minds … Mr. Hubbard recognized that his people have to be civilized,” Farrakhan said to a cheering crowd.
Um...um...what?
It's hard to wrap my mind around this. Farrakhan singing the praises of Scientology?
I guess...leaders of crazy cults tend to like and admire other leaders of crazy cults? Either that, or you've been wearing that bowtie waaaaay too tight for too long, Calypso Louie.
