Missives From the Reality-Based World
The spoiled infant wailing from the Einsatzgruppen-ÜberKristians is going into overdrive mode, as Pam discovered to be the case with the Traditional Values Coalition. Their chairman, Lou Sheldon, is in a foaming frenzy about things that are … well, better to show than tell. He titles his article thusly: Pro-Homosexual Democrats To Push Anti-Christian ‘Hate Crime’ Legislation […]
Via a three-step chain that began with Pharyngula, I came across the news of a possible lung cancer vaccine. Researchers in America have discovered that vaccinating mice with embryonic stem cells prevented lung cancer in those animals… On the face of it this might seem like a good idea, and I suppose it is. I mean, lung cancer is brutal. Any […]
Cassini has taken images of a hurricane near Saturn’s southern pole. Fox News has already launched a satellite in anticipation of getting not-at-all-racist video of black Saturnians looting while white ones merely find provisions.
It’s not every day that one has the opportunity to get a sneak peek at an unauthorized autobiography, so when I was given the chance to do so a few weeks ago I decided to act. I’m very glad I did. Destined for Destiny, the tome in question, purports to have been written by none other than George W. Bush, with some […]

Okay. Okay. So now Rummy’s been fired. Let me just write that again, because it feels so fucking good. Donald Rumsfeld has been fired. Ohh, man, this is better than cyber. Way better. Okay, back to the continuing good news. Allen is the only Republican doggedly hanging on to his job — Virginia is still undecided in the […]
No national comment just yet, though I have to say I’m happy about the house decision. “Mandate”, indeed. However, I’m even more satisfied about the loss suffered by the right-wing fanatical filth. As of 7:30 this morning, Proposition 107 is defeated. It only lost out by 30K votes or so, but in Arizona — astoundingly — there […]
My hope for today is that we’ll act with wisdom, and not do anything we may be ashamed of.
Honor is something that’s hard to define in some respects; it seems to be cultural, at least to an extent.
