Here’s another reason why religion and politics shouldn’t mix.

It makes for bad religion (and not the band either…).

Thanks to The Revealer for this one.

So last night I was eating a bitchin hamburger at the Time-Out here in Oak Ridge.  I hadn’t been there previously, and only stopped there because GAC was looking for a chair base for her project (which I’m sure she’ll tell you about later, on account of it rocks), and Time Out was something different.  Anyway, point is, it freakin rocked, it wasn’t king hell expensive, and they’re getting French Broad beers out of Asheville on tap so I can finally quit bitching about the shitty beer selection on draft in Oak Ridge.

Wooooooot.

So anyway, there I was, eating my burger and onion rings, drinking my Dr. P, and pondering my latest plan: an Oak Ridge Wiki.

Now, this thing is my answer to the talk of late about how Oak Ridge has its nose up with regards to Anderson County, and maybe its true, maybe it isn’t.  Who cares.  Seems to me, tho, that one of the problems I had with this town until recently is that you have to really dig at the bastard to get the good stuff.  Why not make the good stuff public?

Blogs are great for disseminating opinions, but anybody from out of town who reads me and Netmom might get a wildly jilted view of what Oak Ridge is and what it isn’t.  Hell, I disagree with Netmom intently on a lot of aspects of this town.  Point is, I’m still living here, and so is she, and its because this is a great little place, with an interesting history, and a very cool present.  Sometimes.

Anyway, a wiki would be a place where everybody could come in and write about the shops in town, write about the politicians, the newspapers, the intersections.  What to stay away from, what to go to, in a completely open and free enviroment, edited by peers.

I like that idea.  I like it a bunch, and I want to get other people hyped up about it.  Problem is, I’m having a HELL of a time getting everything set up.  See for yourself, its at http://www.atomictumor.com/oakridgewiki for now, but it ain’t pretty…
