How I became an atheist, or something

( Personal )

Sunday School that day was consolidated and we had a guest speaker.  He talked about evolution and how it was that it was impossible for evolution to have happened.  God created everything and he had a compelling story to tell.  As he talked, my mind wandered a bit.  I have always had a wandering mind.  [...]

Philip K. Howard

( Politics andvideo )

Philip K. Howard was on The Daily Show last night.  I remember his book, “The Death of Common Sense”, when it came out, but didn’t read it. I could say that this is irony made manifest, that a show on Comedy Central is bringing light to issues of governance, while cable television shows avoid it. [...]

Sounds about right

I loves me some West Wing.  C & L has a great clip up about President Bartlett and an open microphone. Then this follows in the post: Conservatives’ vision for this country is dark, dystopian, and deeply pessimistic. Sounds about right.

Something new

( Joke )

While having lunch with a male friend, we noticed a woman with a rather nice ass in yoga pants.  She was around 40, and her companion was in his 20′s.  On leaving, we walked past their table and out the door.  I turned to my friend and said, “The only problem I have with this [...]
