Sarah Palin debate flow chart

This is pretty much how I saw it too….

Let’s be clear: I don’t mind the Palin as a person, though I strongly disagree with her folksy view of the world. In any case, I don’t think she has any business running for the White House, however cute and spunky her speeches may be.

Sam Harris kickin’ some serious knowledge on stem cell morality.

Only you can decide where your faith and religious beliefs will fall, but–for the sake of millions of suffering individuals–Sam Harris is here to make sure you confront the intricacies of the knee-jerk stem cell research is playing God stance.

Time to bust out the ol’ thinking caps:-)

Shortsighted Policies (AKA Reckless Planning)

Whatever you do, have a reason for doing it–and make sure it’s a good one. Trouble is, having good reasons to act is less than half the battle. You’ve got to convince yourself it’s worth it to change things up, and then you’ve got to follow through. And don’t ever forget this: you can talk […]

WTF? #1: Thanks for Dying Jesus, This Candy is AWESOME!

Sorry, but “WTF?” is the best I can do. I’m absolutely flabbergasted.

Great blog: Who Sucks

This is one of my new favorite blogs. I have a lot of time for well-written cynicism…

Who-Sucks.com is a site dedicated to researching the reasons why certain people and things suck, and then posting about it. When creating posts, we check a variety of sites around the net, trying to represent as many negative […]

The Presidential Veto, Democracy, and the Need for Divine Intervention

President’s Stem-Cell Veto Secures an ‘Ethically Sound’ Tomorrow for the U.S.

Phew!!! That was a close one. We almost got what the overwhelming majority of our elected officials asked for, and surely we’d have gone straight to hell for it too–erm, I mean some terrrible misfortune that’s unrelated to Christianity surely would have befallen us. Thank […]

Cloning, stem cells, and playing God.

We were getting close. We were almost there. We could smell it even. Baby steps, baby steps, inching us toward a passably intelligent dialogue on the merits of stem-cell and cloning technology. Then the Frankenstein experiments had to start.
Ay Chihuahua!
Look, I recognize that a lot of researchers are simply following the bread crumbs, trying to […]

Asteroid Alert!!! Is the sky really falling?

First check this out, and then order and read this. Carl Sagan has always done a great job of making us look pretty ridiculous for quibbling over natural resources, weapons of mass destruction, and whose god(s) might be real.
On a side note, I’ve been watching a lot of Battlestar Galactica lately. What a concept: the […]

Exxon leader: ‘Climate getting warmer’

So nice of him to join us in the new millenium!
Doesn’t it make you feel all fuzzy inside when people start being honest with one another?
And look who else made it: The Kansas board of education seems to be ready to join the ‘hey let’s stop kidding ourselves’ party, too!
And finally, one straight from the […]
