The Jesuit priest known by many simply as "Bix" is likely in the top 5 greatest TACOMANIANS whose ever lived on this planet. When was the last time you personally have spoken out against the obscene, illegal and immoral waste these weapons of
instantaneous mass murder represent? Planet Earth needs nuclear bombs like politician XYZ needs a hole in the head. Seriously, we can't afford to keep paying for these pieces of toxic crap. No good will ever come from them! EVER! Bix may have ended his hunger-strike, but he hasn't surrendered in his quixotic endeavor to make the world a better place.
To learn how you can get involved to help destroy Nuclear Weapons checkout the folks at Disarm Now Plowshares. I never met them, but they are friends of mine.
I nominate Father Bix for a greater Tacoma peace prize, and you should too.
FREE BIX!

by NineInchNachos on 1/31/2012 @ 8:10am | Ask yourself "What has a nuclear bomb done for me lately?" |
by NineInchNachos on 1/31/2012 @ 2:17pm | in the spirit of BIX and community empowerment, I am happy to announce the Tacomic Book Vol. 001 is available for at the Tacoma Public Library!

by NineInchNachos on 2/2/2012 @ 10:02am | MAIL BAG: From: Leonard Eiger Sent: Wednesday, February 01, 2012 8:46 AM To: Disarm Now Plowshares Outreach Subject: Finally - A NONVIOLENT (Tacoma) Action Figure!!! Good morning Disarm Now Plowshares Devotees of Nonviolence, Resisters of The Ultimate Nuclear Madness, etc... Yesterday I discovered what might very well be the first Nonviolent Action Figure...well, at least Tacoma Action Figure. If you guessed our beloved Fr. Bix, you guessed right!!! This is no ordinary action figure. As Tacomic cartoonist and inventor R.R. Anderson says it, Bix is a "Real Ultimate American Hero." He's got that right. He also got Bix's "Epic Beard", "Greek Fisherman of Men [and Women] Hat", and other accoutrments down! This is an action figure I can definitely get behind, or beside for that matter. Check it out. This is surely destined to eclipse the Ichiro bauble head doll by an order of magnitude. Here's the link: comics.feedtacoma.com/tacomic/tacomic-ta... And, in other news (besides all the news of Bix, including the article in The Sunday Seattle Times), there is an article just published in GEEZ magazine about Ground Zero. Check it out here: www.geezmagazine.org/blogs/entry/new-art.... They got one rather important fact wrong, but still great coverage (in the big picture); they quote Betsy Lamb and Tom Rogers. Back to Bix - Don't you think it's about time we start celebrating the PEACEMAKERS as well as all the athletes, entertainers and corporate titans??? This is certainly a great start. And - THANKS to R.R. Anderson!!! Of course, we know this isn't about Bix - It's about his walk and his work, which is our walk and work as well. Okay, I know! Those are mighty big shoes to fill, but we can still give it a shot. Please continue to hold Bix in your thoughts and prayers as his days in his monastary (solitary) at SeaTac Federal Detention Center wind down. He is due OUT on Friday, February 10th.

by JesseHillFan on 2/9/2012 @ 1:30pm | Glad that the guy is out but he should take care of his health and recuperate from his experience.Not a good thing to be incarcerated at such an old age (well unless one is absolutely destitute and has no health care). |
