So Douchebag Prager wrote “Part 2.” Hard as I’m trying not to contemplate him in even the remotest sexual fashion, I can’t help but wonder: is he really as terrible in the sack as this article makes him sound..? (Can anyone be? And if someone was, should he really be making [...]

This was at Whole Foods.
Quoth someone who works there and shall remain nameless: “What the fuck? They put those out? I hid them in the back of the store room. I should have just thrown them away.”

“Cathedral,” live, by Crosby, Stills and Nash. I first heard it as a little girl–my dad loved this song. It seems appropos.
As I said in Part One, while I enjoyed the movie, I didn’t find that it rocked my world in a significant way for the most part. However, there were two [...]

We spent most of the past week in Atlantic City; sadly, though, as hard as one might try, one cannot spend every waking moment at the poker table–so, at around 3 am on Tuesday night, we headed back to our room to flip through the casino hotel’s pay-per-view channels. To our surprise (and mild [...]

The Raving Atheist has decided to convert to Christinity. I think it was Amanda of Pandagon who called it a few years back, so she should give herself a cookie.
This is actually not terribly surprising to me, but a little discomforting. When I was a new atheist, and new to the blogsphere, the [...]

First of all, I would like to say that I don’t read Townhall. The only reason I even knew this article existed was because Jesse at Pandagon blogged about it. I may even leave a nastygram on his Facebook page in revenge, because this is about the most pathetic, icky article disguised as [...]

I watched the movie “Yes Man” last night, starring Jim Carrey. The story, for those who aren’t familiar, is about a man, Carl, who has been closed off and has purposely isolated himself from his friends and work ever since his wife Stephanie, divorced him. He blows of his friends, he is extremely [...]

A Cheery Hanukkah Present.

A survivor of sexual abuse is suing the Vatican, and two courts in the U.S. are considering hearing the case.
“I was not truly mad at the right person,” he says. “I kept going up a ladder, and I was looking at cardinals and even the Pope knew, you know, that this was this bad. That’s [...]

The Tightrope of Politics

I have very strong beliefs about politics. I am a feminist, progressive, for homosexual rights, and for minority rights. I try to live up to these beliefs as much as I can (though I’m not perfect at it).
Part of having these beliefs, I think, is standing up to people when they are degenerating [...]

Those of you who peruse Pharyngula are doubtless already familiar with this episode; for those of you who are not, from PZ a few weeks ago:

The Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden and the Creation Museum have made a joint marketing agreement and are selling “combo tickets” to get into both attractions for one price.
The Cincinnati [...]

From the Blizzard forums, a plaintive little note:

Dear Blizzard,
I would like to complain. I got some new armor for my blood elf and I put it on, and then I put on my new chestpiece. When combined with my pants…I look like a stripper or like I belong on a corner rather than fighting for [...]

The Daytrader Economy

C’mon Americans, the Fed dropped its rate to .25%! Let’s all ogle the stock market while it wanks off to this latest move that’s sure to be as awesomely effective as every other adorable widdle wate cut.
