Ben Stein’s Foolish Creationism

A guy made a short video refuting nearly all of what Ben Stein has to say in discussing creationism and evolution and in the process destroys the credibility of his so-called “documentary,” Exposed. It is so scary to listen to Ben Stein talk about evolution. It is so obvious to any reasonably educated person that […]

obama talks religion

As most of you know, I am both politically and religiously atheist. I don’t believe in god or the 2 party system, or in money that reads “In God We Trust.” And so I have vowed not to vote until the system is changed and the parties are gone and the country starts to have […]

20% of Americans can’t find the US on a world map

20% of Americans can’t find the US on a world map and Miss South Carolina knows why.

“uh…the Iraq…”
Here’s what she should have said,
A fifth of Americans can’t find the US on a map because they are just like me: superficial, shallow, sheltered, religious, uninterested, uninteresting, and dumb. Our education system in shambles. We waste money […]

9/11 aftermath aftermath

Fuck you John. You are an ignorant piece of shit. If there ever is another 9/11 I hope your wife and children are at ground zero.

Right on Jon. Keep on telling it like it is. You’ve changed politics forever with your honesty and wit. But there is still a long way to go.

sick

Warning: Very long post with lots of cursing.
I just spent the last two hours sobbing like a little girl while I watched a leaked BitTorrent copy of Michael Moore’s Sicko. I am a changed person, and there isn’t the least bit of humor in that statement for a change.

water boarding

Fox News’ Steve Harrigan subjected himself to “water boarding” performed by some retired military guys, and submitted in seconds to the “torture.” Below is a video of the report and segments of the technique being performed. Essentially they cover your face and breathing hole (nostrils, mouth) in increasing intensity, and pour water into the open […]

hands held high

Linkin Park’s new album, Minutes To Midnight, is mixed bag. There are a few tracks I really like, and a few that I instantly skip. For whatever reason I actually like their rapping songs, and was immediately hooked in by their SNL performance of Bleed It Out (unfortunately not on youtube, but here is a […]

a voice of reason in the muslim world

A local Emirati friend of mine sent me the link to this video of Dhiya Al Musawi being interviewed on Abu Dhabi TV in December. Google searches for his name turned up almost nothing. From what I know, he is a very progressive, outspoken writer from Bahrain who seems to have the courage to speak […]

secret letter from iraq

Time.com has a great letter written from a Marine officer in Iraq to his family and friends in the States. It escaped in the internet wild somehow a few weeks ago and it has now been seen by fellow soldiers, generals, and, well, us. It’s really well-written and provides a great deal of insight into […]
