The Green Revolution Coaxes me from Seclusion

When Barack Obama won the election, I felt like I didn’t have much to say. My itch to blog has been essentially dormant. Things have changed, however.
My attention is divided between the horrible brief filed by the Obama Department of Justice defending the Defense of Marriage Act, and what’s going on in Iran right now [...]

Evidence for the FSM?

It is a well known fact that the true cause of global warming is the decrease of pirates operating on the high seas.

We see here that as the number of pirates decreased, the global temperature has increased. I now present some supporting evidence.

Pennsylvania Primary

It’s a common topic of discussion that the longer the Democratic primary goes on, the worse it is for the Democrats.

A transcript and the audio recording can be found here at Eric Zorn’s Chicago Tribune Blog. I highly recommend both reading and listening to it. Rep. Davis’ tirade [...]

Oh John McCain…

Clearly John McCain is just the guy to lead this country. Turns out back in 1992 he responded to a playful jibe about his bald spot with, “At least I don’t plaster on the makeup like a trollop, you cunt.” The playful jibe was from his wife.

Earth Hour

I’ve set the alarm on my cell phone to alert me at 7:50 PM tomorrow to turn off the lights and appliances in my house from 8 to 9PM.
This is Earth Hour’s second year and the first in which I’ve participated. It originated in Sydney, Australia and was a local phenomenon. It has since gone [...]

They’re coming to get you Barbara…

Ed Brayton over at Dispatches from the Culture Wars has a comment up about this article. Apparently King Abdullah of Saudia Arabia is calling for all people of the book, (ie; Muslims, Jews and Christians) to get together and combat the Great Evil of Atheism and the resultant drop in morality that has accompanied [...]

I’ve been sick. So here’s a poetical quickie

This was posted in one of the Atheist communities I frequent. The poster and the first commenter made the following comments:
“Yep, we’re to assume God is responsible for everything around us, and for us to actually use our brains to solve questions/problems or whatever is blasphemy.”
and
“I just love how she tries to make god seem [...]
