The Scientologists have parked their titty tents at Pioneer Square

The Scientologists have parked thrown up their annual yellow titty tents at Pioneer Square, the interoirs of the tent full of garish paintings of bridges and sculptures of L Ron Hubbard, the employees of Scientology prepping the passer – bys with the inane personal quizzes that start you off on the road to clearing those beta-thetans.

Most amusingly enough are the words emblazoned: “Something can be done about it.”  It is a slogan for all times because the something ends up being fairly specific — a giant sucking sound from your bank account into the Corporation founded by L Ron Hubbard, but the “it” that this something is going to be done at is imprecise — the body-thetans of previous generations are haunting you, and you don’t even know it — you may think you’re not miserable, but you are.

(something I picked up at Scientologist headquarters when doing a paper — which I can’t find immediately; and actual answers to the “personality test” found at clambake.com — “correct” answers to such a thing boggles the mind.)
They descended upon Virginia Tech, the Scientologists.  Granted, I have maintained — in a jesty spirit that belies that I probably believe it — that the difference between a religious cult and a religion is about 200 years.  But I would just as soon not let Scientology get that far.  This is a repeat of the Scientologists’ greetings onto the grounds of the WTC in the aftermath of 9/11 — by pretending they were working with the Red Cross, and a sleazy manner in which they managed to get a phone number to a front-group called, I swear to Gawd, “National Mental Health Assistance” — onto media outlets, Fox News being the most national and notable.  A week or so later, I saw Tom Cruise (thought it might have been another one of those Scientologist celebrities) on Rosie O’Donnell’s old show talking about how proud he was with the Scientologists’ response on the ground with 9/11.  He evidently had received his news from the Scientologist paper of record, and I’d have to look that name up.

    You know, I spent a bit more time than I should have thinking “Is this, like, a telescope photograph of me that is being passed along to me in a ‘We’re watching your every step’ type way”?

    Nay. Just a… Skull.
