A Noah's Ark theme park in the BAY AREA?!

In one of the more noteworthy and even historic developments in recent California Democratic Party political history, the Solano County branch of the Democratic Party and a local AFL-CIO have each endorsed a Vallejo pastor, currently running for Vallejo City Council, who a few days ago disclosed that he is negotiating with unnamed developers to bring a life-sized replica of Noah's Ark to Vallejo, California - an economically troubled city only a short commute by boat across the Bay from San Francisco.

If pastor Anthony Summers wins in the upcoming city council election tomorrow, November 5th, 2013, we may soon be asking, "will that be a union construction job ?" and "will it have animatronic dinosaurs just like the Kentucky Creationism Museum ?"...

If faith can truly, as pastor Summers claims, raise the dead then what can't prayer treat ? Broken limbs, cancer, diabetes or severe mental illness are trivial by comparison. ...

Summers' close partnership with internationally influential evangelist Ed Silvoso (whose ministry partners have by some accounts had a profound and globally inspirational impact on LGBTI rights in Uganda) also raises the prospect Vallejo might soon see an innovative trash disposal program which could promote ideological, religious, and cultural cohesion among Vallejo city residents as well.

1. I took the family to Noah's Ark last year.

It kicked ass:

4. So did I. We go every few years.

It's so incredibly cheesy and touristy, but I love the Dells. Where else can you go to a water park in the morning, grab fried cheese and sushi for lunch, take a tour on the Ducks and then finish off the day with a drive-in movie?

2. May I propose....

Wouldn't it be more intellectually valid, and more fun, to have an H.P.Lovecraft-themed park?
We could enjoy the watery thrills of "The R'lyeh Experience", with the mighty island rising and sinking on a regular schedule, climaxing with the thrilling escape from a life-sized audio-animatronic Cthulhu. On warmer days, everybody would enjoy a little jaunt to the Arctic Mountains of Madness. Why not explore Innsmouth? The locals are so colourful!

Best of all, the local government wouldn't be exposed to the searing mockery that Noah's Ark would cause to rain down upon their deserving heads.

3. It'd never work

They wouldn't get much repeat business.

5. Vallejo is broke - filed bankruptcy

Maybe they can gets some fundies to throw their money away but competing against 6 Flags / Marine World would ensure it never leaves the drawing table

6. V-Town actually just emerged from the bankruptcy

only to have Stockton and San Bernardino follow in its footsteps.

There is an organized plan afoot to turn Vallejo into Fundieville West. The current mayor, who won by a landslide ONE VOTE!!, is on record as saying that teh gheys can't get into Heaven. (I'm sure they're crushed. )

10. The Gay community across the Bay

Will have fun making a fool out of him

[KamaAina]

11. Vallejo itself has a substantial LGBT community

drawn there by the many historic buildings available cheap (by California standards).

7. So that's what the Google barge is

Explains a lot.

8. DUzy!!

9. Here's something wierd about the whole thing

The seas will start rising and the ark will come in handy.

The seas will rise because the fundy RW climate deniers chose to ignore the problem and refuse to make adaptions that would slow or halt the process. however, they will claim that God is saving them because they have an ark.

12. The more the merrier...

Once people see what lifesiez is actally like, they're going to understand the impossibility of the "two of each animal" concept.

13. More people attend Glide Memorial on a given Sunday than would ever.....
