Another fundie bites the dust: Dr. Dino convicted on tax evasion

[jmowreader]

The freepers, sound-minded individuals that they are, have convinced me that those Evil Liberal Demoncraps in the House and Senate are going to force me to have abortions, smoke pot and turn gay.

The Internets are the best source of information on these kinds of things, so I did three web searches.

"How do I get an abortion?" only gave results for women getting abortions. Apparently the technique of Male Abortion is new.

"How do I smoke pot?" gave me a couple of sites about how bad pot is for you, how much fun smoking pot is, all that, but nothing about rolling joints, buying weed or any of the other things you need to know before you can smoke pot. The Internets have failed me again.

"How do I become gay?" was a very lucrative search, as it gave me THIS link:

Remember that asshat Kent Hovind? He got his Ph.D. out of a corn flakes box, he runs a whole theme park dedicated to the proposition that Dinosaurs and Humans walked the earth side-by-side...and he's a tax cheat.

What he has done is very simple, and also very illegal. His park has many employees. He has declared them all to be "evangelists." As "evangelists," which apparently are the same thing as "independent contractors" in the civilian world, his Creation Science Ministries is not required to perform any withholding or pay the employer's share of their payroll taxes. Unfortunately for Hovind, the IRS considers them to fall under the guidelines for employees.

Net result: Hovind is staring down the barrel at 240 years in the klink.

Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

1. She remains free?

"She faces up to 225 years in prison but was allowed to remain free pending the couple's sentencing on Jan. 9.'

Now I don't know about you but if I was looking at 225 years in El Slamo and they let me out on bond, I would be looking to get out of Dodge and with the quickness.

3. Maybe Ken Lay has a spare bedroom

in his secure undisclosed, Cheney-financed location.

7. She can bunk with Jenna Bush in Paraguay.

I'd like to see the inevitable theological argument between Mrs. Hovind and Reverend Moon.

8. And on that theme...check out the verdict from his Chapter 13 hearing

http://www.talkorigins.org/faqs/hovind-decision.html

He attempted to file a Chapter 13 bankruptcy in 1996. The IRS and the courts determined that he filed for bankruptcy in bad faith, specifically to evade federal income taxes, and dismissed the case.

He also claims to be penniless, that everything he has belongs to the Lord, but the Lord seems to give him a lot of cars and a $90,000 home.

And then again we are talking Pensacola here. Home of Pensacola Christian College (the Bob Jones University of Florida--unfortunately, they have realized the entertainment value inherent in their student handbook and taken it off their website), and one of the most concentrated collection of fundamentalists in America, Pensacola was the scene of an Army scandal in the 1980s. This is no shit: There is a Military Intelligence school at Naval Air Station Pensacola, or at least there was. In the third quarter of the 1980s--between 1988 and 1990 because they hadn't done it yet when I was in PLDC in 1988 and could have fucked with the Field Station Augsburg troops, and they did it before I went to BNCOC in 1990 because I was definitely fuckin' with the Auggie troops over this shit--about thirty of the soldiers who went to their training in Pensacola had formed an end-times religious cult, decided that the Rapture was gonna happen in Pensacola, and went AWOL to go back to Pensacola to be there when Jesus arrived. They bought two old shitbox vans, and one of 'em broke down. (These troops had clearances out the ass, so naturally the army was REAL interested in getting them back.) The cop who came to help them noticed the very obvious Army haircuts on their heads and ran their drivers' licenses. We kicked 'em out with all haste.
