- Brainwashing the Next Generation
Even if you are a devout Christian, this group of videos ought to at least give you some pause.
The first reaction most people would have to these at first glance might be something along the lines of, ‘Well, they’re too young to really understand what they’re talking about, so there’s no real harm done,’ which [...]
- Political Storms
Many of us were told as youngsters that thunder was the sound of the Almighty Deity bowling. The fact that this Intelligent Bowling theory is not taught alongside the heated air theory in meteorology classes is yet another example of how America is fast becoming an “atheism-friendly culture of PC liberalism.”
Sarcasm aside, a favorite [...]
- Look How Far We’ve Come
When I have the means to buy new books again, I plan on reading The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How It Changed America.
We are all too familiar with the old song about how video games, or movies, or rap lyrics or whatever are all hurting the children or destroying America or [...]
- We Are Not Pundits
Fed up with current American politics? So are many people, including the Irregular Times and Blue Oregon (albeit in slightly different ways).
For me, it’s not the candidates, nor the discussion they engender, that I tire of, as much as it is the gatekeeper media. These overpaid teleprompter regurgitators, who insist on making the entire political [...]
- Put Another Dog on the Grill
I’ve complained here before about two things: one, the cognitive dissonance of society that allows people to casually eat some animals while treating others as beloved family members; and two, the liberal lefty take that being a vegan might be a good idea, some day, for other people, but certainly not for me.
Well, both of [...]
- Alternate Reality
If the theory that there is an infinite number of dimensions or realities, where every possible decision or action that could happen does, is true, then can I please be allowed to go to one of those other existences?
How is it that I was unlucky enough to end up in a universe where a former [...]
- Shelfari
I’m spending my Saturday putting my personal library (real paper books!) into Shelfari, a social network revolving around reading. You can visit my profile and see my shelf here. If you’re already a member, send me a friend request. If not, sign up and we can get a discussion about what we [...]
- An Excess Of Rationality
There has been a lot of discussion recently around the internets about Ben Stein’s new anti-science movie, Expelled. If you haven’t heard about how certain people who are actually in the movie were accused of gatecrashing it, then you ought to give this a look. Let’s see, you can be interviewed in the [...]
- Hezbollah in my Backyard
Our old friend Chef Bourdain notwithstanding, I don’t think there’s any similarity between Hezbollah and veganism. Eating plants could hardly be called an act of violent terrorism. In fact, we have all been told our whole lives that we need to eat more broccoli, or that Popeye eats spinach to grow strong (and [...]
- A Frivolous Thursday
I’ve been suffering from a reversal of my sleep cycles recently that I just can’t seem to break out of for some reason. For instance, here it is 5:30 am and I am wide awake. Although I am putting this time to good use, as I am working on the next podcast, as well as [...]
