Thursday Funnies

October 14, 2021 By Mike Rinder 79 Comments

  10 weeks with Arte Maren... People PAY for this?   Amount raised - $0 This is her birthday fundraiser that's been up for a year. She is the Snr C/S of the Portland "ideal" org   Wait until you find out... Actually you have to pay more to get that ability because you really cannot confront life until you are done with OT III.

August 2, 2016 By Mike Rinder 73 Comments

Tony Ortega provided a pretty good summary of what happened at Sunday's Harlem org ribbon yanking at his blog. My thoughts focus on what was NOT there. Nobody Important Showed Up The B team speakers were notable for being nobodies. Back in the day, Charlie Rangel and other prominent people spoke at the NY Org ideal ribbon yanking.
