The DNC seems to be bringing out all the protesters. Including the protesters who feel that both the number of (1) women killed by a lack of access to reproductive healthcare, and (2) the number of car accidents stemming from drivers being distracted by giant fetuses, are far below what we, as a nation, could […]

Well, usually I don’t. I was procrastinating, an activity I have raised to a fine art form. But anyway, here it is:
Why We Must At Least Pretend to Believe in God, Though I Will Make It Clear Later In This Piece That By ‘God’ I mean ‘My God In Particular,’ by Some Douchebag […]

Woot!
UPDATED: For those of you who have expressed the irrational conviction that women somehow have existed as historically significant atheists, agnostics and/or freethinkers.* Disclaimer: I’m an engineer, not a graphic artist (pleading for mercy in advance for the no-doubt numerous flaws in my pictoral editing).

*Five bucks to the first person who […]

I’ve been following the Frackin’ Cracker story since its first appearance on the news, even before PZ’s first post on the subject. It’s turned into quite the bloody saga of PZ-hating (not to mention creative ways to desecrate a Holy Cracker) out there, with…oh, you guessed it…our bestest buddy Billdo carrying the lead torch […]

I’ve always yearned to be “ilk!”
Of course, I may be flattering myself. When the Lady Lydia referred to persons of “Kyso’s ilk,” she may not have been referring to me because she didn’t specify what Kysoean attributes a person must have to be considered one of “Kyso’s ilk.”
(I’m sorry for the incessant […]

I’m having a hard time deciding if this is for real or not. I’m leaning toward “yes,” just because I can’t find any evidence anywhere else on the Web that it’s just a big ol’ joke, and also, the commenters on the article that was just making it so haaaaaaard for me to believe it […]

This totally made my day. From PZ Myers:
I just got an email listing 50 “proofs” for the existence of a god.
You can see the whole list here; I’m just gonna reproduce my absolute favorites. With possibly a little commentary.

2. How do you explain the paranormal, such as people witnessing positive or negative sightings, […]

What Americans do half-heartedly, the Russians will attempt with gusto.
Russian lawmakers are weird.
Parliamentary hearings were held yesterday at which the “Concept for a State Policy in the Area of Spiritual and Moral Education of the Children of the Russian Federation and Protection of Their Morals” was discussed.
Really weird:
The draft law “On Children’s Toys” would ban […]

I’d like to take a moment from my Europe Tour to award SexyMILF69 The Kyso Kisaen Certificate of Achievement in Non-Sequitors. Sexxy has a solid history of making her readers think very hard about what the fuck SexxyMom is thinking, but it was this entry that clinched it for her:
The desperation that this girl […]

Just completely gross.
Short version: Sarasota Planned Parenthood and Habitat for Humanity team up with a plan that will help Planned Parenthood with some zoning issues and help Habitat get some almost-free land. For their altruism, they’re repaid with the nastiest of the nasty anti-choice contingent:
“We could have put up any building we wanted,” said […]

Vatican: Excommunication for female priests
I’d be shocked and disgusted, if only I cared more about the Catholic church or even about the moral sensibilities of the people who want to be a part of it.
Catholic church says it’s following Christian tradition
You can’t argue with that.
The decree was published Thursday by Vatican newspaper L’Osservatore […]

Let’s all pause for a second to ponder this graf from Sabbotabby’s MSNBC Mormon-catwalk story
And while no one would accuse the women of making a fashion statement, the pioneer-style outfits are a rare example of how in an age of overexposure, modesty, too, can give pause.
It’s not the modesty that gives pause - if merely […]
