Forget the Birth Certificate…

…I want to see Nature’s Engineering Degree! Yet another installment of, “How an Incredible Design TOTALLY Supports the Theory of Evolution!”  Courtesy of Wired Magazine. High-Speed Video of Locusts Could Help Make Better Flying Robots Oh how I long for the day when the evolutionist crowd can manage to kick out some puff piece without [...]

Evolution vs. Design

Despite the title, according to this article, there is no “.vs” between evolution and design. “Prehistoric mammal swung tail like baseball bat“ Or..at least, we’re pretty sure, kinda, but it sounds like a good script! The findings about glyptodonts — which looked like a cross between an armadillo and a Volkswagen beetle car — apply [...]

The Domino Theory and Iran

In betwixt and between all the impassioned outcrys both from within and without Iran regarding their most recent “election,” I find that all the intensity and furor suddenly begs the question: Why all of a sudden do we see such a fervor from the voting public in Iran? More importantly, why are we HEARING about [...]

Hate Crimes and That Cold Chill They Bring.

Listening to the radio on the way to work this morning, I heard something that chilled me to my very core.  I literally got a chill down my spine.  I quite literally spoke out loud, “Oh, shit.” It was a “top of the hour” news blurb about how the push for Hate Crimes legislation is [...]

DHS Report on Right-Wing Extremists Makes Stars & Stripes

There’s a front-page report on the DHS report highlighting the dangers of “right-wing extremists” in today’s Stars & Stripes,  yet strangely I can find nothing about it on their web site.  I wonder if that was an editorial decision to bury the story?  You can’t unprint newspapers, but you can easily delete a link. There was [...]

The Rise of the Obamessiah.

Throughout his ascendency to the presumptive nominee for President during the recent campaign, Obama, or perhaps more accurately, Obama’s crack media and PR machine, built a groundswell of enthusiasm which soon bordered on euphoria.  Through deft manipulation of images and soundbites, along with the willing collusion of the media, seasoned liberally with generous dashes of [...]

A few thoughts on the all the Gaza “Peace” protests…

I’m sorry, but if you have a burning molotav cocktail in your hand, arm cocked back to throw, you have lost your status as “peaceful protestor” or even “activist” and moved right up into “combatant.”  And I will shoot you dead’r-n-shit.  Twice. If you charge at me, bandana over your face, screaming unintelligible gibberish about [...]

It’s “Merry Christmas.” Deal with it.

Ya know, I was all set to pen some snarky post about how people just need to get over themselves, highlighting all the manner of mental flatulence surrounding peoples’ bizarre and over-compensating back-bending with regards to political correctness and not “offending” anyone with the grim specter of a baby in a manger. But then I figured, [...]

Thoughts for the day #875, etc.

Of course I think my religious beliefs are right, and yours are wrong.  Otherwise, they wouldn’t BE my religious beliefs, now would they?!  What kind of mental gymnastics does it take to come to the place where you can say, “All approaches to religious faith are equally valid.”  Bull-puckey.  What you are really saying is [...]

Where’s that Theocracy now, beotches?

For the better part of 8 years, the frothing fringe Truther crowd, the associated Code Pink nutjobs and other hangers-on have been pounding the table and swearing on a stack of Communist Manifestos that ol’ G.W. was hell-bent on setting up an oppressive Right Wing Dominionist Theocracy, complete with a modern krystalnacht rounding up gays, [...]
