Happy Dependence Day!

7/3/2008 – 4:22 pm

Tomorrow is the 4th of July, our nation’s celebration of its declaration and victory of independence from the British. Stinkin’ redcoats! Just kidding. (I’m actually an Anglophile. For Queen and Empire! Okay, maybe not that much of an Anglophile…)

A curse

6/12/2008 – 10:23 am

This is the most graphic thing I have ever watched about abortion. I hesitated (and still do) in posting this. But sometimes we need to stop talking about abstracts and deal with reality. Sometimes politics are important… and sometimes politics are shaped by the cold, hard truth.

Brights and Indigos agree

4/1/2008 – 10:00 am

See, I’ve realized that I’m smarter than most people. Certainly smarter than most of you who actually read here every day hoping for religious material.
In fact, I’m a “Bright.” I’m not implying that those of you who have not freed yourself from the intellectual and pseudospiritual tyranny of a belief in the supernatural [...]

“The ice is back.”

2/25/2008 – 1:14 pm

This winter is apparently one of the worst in modern meteorological history; in other news, there may be more to ice cap melting than just ozone depletion. (Hello, wind effects on ocean currents! Didn’t anybody else learn that part of the reason people who aren’t from Iceland can live in Great Britain is [...]

Not once, but twice

2/19/2008 – 8:22 am

From TJIC (slight but obvious editing mine):

Is America becoming a police state?

11/24/2006 – 3:53 pm

The following is an email response (lightly revised) to a friend who does not live in the USA. He asked whether I thought America was becoming a police state and cited a recent incident as perhaps an indication of this trend.
Oh yeah, yikes, the UCLA taser incident was kinda big news here, too. [...]
