Some of you might remember when I blogged about the controversy over "atheist plus". Someone disssed a hero of mine, Neil Armstrong, so I finally stopped ignoring the fence. One of my recent commenters here was kind enough to comment on another post and I went out to see his website. That got the whole thing … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – a follow-up to a prior post

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The war on Christmas complete with friendly fire
The Daily Show already used the friendly fire analogy when Bill O'Reilly decided that Christianity wasn't a religion. Here are more self-inflicted wounds. The last few days of Doonesbury have done a great job ridiculing the “war on Christmas” nonsense spread by some Christians. But I do have to say, there might actually be a war on Christmas … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The war on Christmas complete with friendly fire
From the Bar and From the kitchen – Box wine and snacks
I love box wine. I love it for the taste and for the convenience, and it’s pretty “green” so I can feel good about that too. I’ve had lots of bottled wines. Some that were supposedly “good”, including some Chateau Neuf de Pape and Beaujolais nouveau, were pretty “meh”. The one of the earliest wines I … Continue reading From the Bar and From the kitchen – Box wine and snacks
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Mom, he’s touching me!
As the days go by, I see more excuses from Christians on why their god do is hands-off when awful things happen. It’s easy for me as an atheist; there is no evidence for a god so I am not surprised when no gods show up in response to a violent event or in response to prayers of any … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Mom, he’s touching me!
What the Boss Likes – Random things that have recently made me happy
For a very much needed vacation from the idiocy of the world, here are a few things that have made me happy Nadia G’s bacon chocolate - Didn’t use maple cured bacon, or a mold (just scoops on a parchment paper) and only had coarse kosher salt to sprinkle on them. But they turned out fabulous. We tried the Vosges … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Random things that have recently made me happy
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – My Sister In Law doesn’t hate me.
Well, my SIL says she doesn’t hate me (or my husband) and excuses her calling Harry Potter evil by saying she’s looking out for the kids and “you only have one chance”. She also says that I shouldn’t lump all Christians in with the “haters”. She finds the nonsense about backmasking silly too and is … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – My Sister In Law doesn’t hate me.
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – TrueChristian antics about the tragedy in Newtown
What happened in Newtown was a tragedy and horrific. It was sudden, violent and unlike what Americans like to think is “normal”. Similar things happen every day in the world, sometimes slower but still horrific. Unsuprisingly, we have TrueChristians, Bryan Fischer and Mike Huckabee (we already know he’s a horrible person and not the friendly … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – TrueChristian antics about the tragedy in Newtown
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The End of the world….or not
A lot of humans seem to be longing for the “end of the world”. Many religions have it built into them, that some god will come and take all of the believers away to a magical place after killing/damning everyone who dared not to believe in the god. The contents of said magical place vary, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The End of the world….or not
From the bar and kitchen – Kijafa and chocolate coconut balls
With it having a rather retro looking label, one might be a little cautious about trying this fortified wine. But with my predeliction for retro things, I thought nothing of it. It strikes me a bit victorian and from what little I’ve found out about this stuff, they probably haven’t changed the label since they … Continue reading From the bar and kitchen – Kijafa and chocolate coconut balls
What the Boss Likes – Bear with me, I need to vent
In the last few months, I’ve been playing event manager at work. It was a last minute decision the powers that be and I’ve been running around like a lunatic trying to make it work. What’s worse, the powers that be have gone above and beyond the call of duty to make every… single… step … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Bear with me, I need to vent
