Asking the Right Question
Monday, December 31st, 2007I just watched a video Hemant of Friendly Atheist put up. Well worth the watch, basically a Dateline like lookLa asociación del juego con las carreras de caballos derivó en el nombre racing juego casino (juego de la carrera), el cual es todavía usado ampliamente. of ‘OMG there are atheists in the universities and bookshelves.’

More Debate on Design
Sunday, December 30th, 2007Via Digg, a reprint of a Natural History essay debate between our favorite IDiots, Behe, Dembski and Wells and some more level minded evolutionary biologists.

Silly Advertising
Thursday, December 27th, 2007My lovely wife pointed out that sometimes there are Google Ads on this blog that don’t really fit the content.

Our Backwards System
Monday, December 24th, 2007The Jesus Myth has the frustrating story of one of the author’s children facing potential deportation for, get this, voting. Please have a read, Digg it up, this screwed up situation is an example of how the system just doesn’t work. Having seen the INS first hand, I know it can be frustrating - and […]
The Dirt on Huckabee
Sunday, December 23rd, 2007Salon has a great article on Huckabee’s performance as governor. I think this is telling of his performance:
If you think he left a well of warm feelings in Arkansas, note that Hillary Clinton had raised more money in Arkansas at last report and that a recent University of Arkansas Poll showed her a 35 to […]
My Tiny Jesus
Monday, December 17th, 2007Another one in the humor department: My Tiny Jesus in which a little JC spits out Twitter posts in speech bubbles. Probably the most fun way to read Twitter.
