Pam passed along an excerpt from a bio of Condi Rice that got my head working. Suggesting Bush has an “inquisitive mind” makes me think of nothing more than a three-year-old and his “why” phase — you know, where “why” is the response to every answer you give.
At this rate TI is going to slide […]

One of the eternal questions faced by religion, philosophy and science is where did it all come from?
This is a damned good question and should occupy any thinking person’s mind from time to time. It’s one of those queries that may well never be answered, because […]
AI was not well received by critics in much the same way that a grenade is not welcome in a detachment. The attitude seemed to be run, run away from this before it explodes chaotically.
Well, that wasn’t how I saw it, and it had damn little to do with how cute Haley Joel was back […]
Darwinism: The Devil’s Religion (2 of 4)
Published by April 27th, 2007 in General Foolishness, Reality Trumps 'God' and One Thousand Words. 2 CommentsThe Jack Chick sendup started there and continues here.
I find it striking that right-wingers seem to define the entire world in terms of religion; I’ve been accused more than once of making science my “religion”. The notion is foolish in the extreme, of course; religion relies on inerrancy, received Truth and unreasoning appeal to authority.
Science […]
Thanks to Pharyngula I discovered, a few weeks back, a perfectly lovely toon site called Monkey Fluids.
Hey, what’s not to love about the name?
ANYway, MF is about taking silly oldschool drawings — ostensibly for children — and remixing them with post-modern, post-porno Net thoughts to … augment the original pictures.
Now you have to love that.
But […]
Darwinism: The Devil’s Religion (1 of 4)
Published by April 26th, 2007 in General Foolishness, Reality Trumps 'God' and One Thousand Words. 6 CommentsJack Chick is famous to fundamentalist Christians for creating a library of incredibly narrow-minded tracts which present an almost Jihadist view of right-wing ultra-fundamentalist Christianity.
Everything’s there including paranoia that God will cast you into hell at the drop of a hat; the complete Caucasian-ness of God, Jesus and angels; and of course gargoyle-like aspects on […]
A host of idiots has come crawling to light after the tragedy of Virgina Tech,* most of them making the fatuous claim that some kind of lack of religiosity is the cause of death for 32 humans and one psycho gunman. Pam notes that the most recent in this list is Chuck Norris, who is […]
There’s Trauma Other than the Physical
Published by April 24th, 2007 in General Foolishness. 0 CommentsCaden Thomas, all of four years old, is probably not going to want to be anywhere near a gridiron again for the rest of his life. Attending a football youth festival at Colorado State on Saturday, the boy — wandering around the end zone — got sacked by wide receiver George Hill.
He’s had 30 stitches […]

Turns out Sgt. Eric Alva is gay, and that makes his sacrifice unacceptable.

Published by April 11th, 2007 in Why Culture Sucks and One Thousand Words. 1 CommentParamount’s remastering Trek:TOS for HD, and they’ve remapped all the exterior FX shots using digital tech.
My first thought was travesty. But you simply must, must see this exterior from Space Seed (Khan, remember?). Here’s 1701 heaving to next to the Botany Bay.
If you thought that was good, you should see it in motion. I feel […]
It’s nerve-wracking to think of it; you’re opening your home to a state-licensed inspector whose job it is to basically see you and look on where you live, how you live, and pass judgment on all of it.
I spent the day off work finalizing things. I needed a secure place for toxics such as bleach, […]
