Unsurprisingly, we have more theocratic hijinks from some of our Pennsylvania legislators. Interested only in forcing one religion on everyone in the state, these wannabe theocrats are claiming that it’s just “history” that they want to educate people on. We did have one Democrat go with the theocrats and one Republican that did not when … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pennsylvania politicians desperate to force Christianity on everyone now hiding behind claims of “history”

From the Bar – six new beers and a review of the new Dracula series premier
Here’s another six beers that we’ve tried last night. It’s rather dangerous working for a place that sells beer and allows you to pick six different beers to fill a six-pack. While we drank these, we caught the new Dracula series premier. It’s the bizarre Tony Stark-ization of Vlad Dracul, with the titular character now … Continue reading From the Bar – six new beers and a review of the new Dracula series premier
From the Kitchen – Quiche, cookies and apple dumplings
With work, I don’t have as much time to cook as I’d like. So, when I have a couple days in row off, I cook a lot. This time, it was quiche, apple dumplings and two types of cookies. The chocolate chip/toffee cookies have been blogged about earlier here. The other cookies are a result … Continue reading From the Kitchen – Quiche, cookies and apple dumplings
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – again, why speak out?
First, I’d like to welcome my new blog followers. We have some new Christians of some type or other (some quite sure that they are the only TrueChristians), so I invite you to ask questions of me, a real live atheist. 🙂 I’ve addressed a lot of common theist claims on this forum so you … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – again, why speak out?
What the Boss Likes – finger lakes vacation, part 3 – distillers, wines and tasty tasty food
This is the final entry on our Finger Lakes vacation. After touring the east shore of Keuka Lake and part of the west shore of Seneca Lake, we decided to go out of the immediate area on Sunday and visit the “holy of holies”, Genesee Brewing, in Rochester, NY. We’ve been drinking Genesee beers for … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – finger lakes vacation, part 3 – distillers, wines and tasty tasty food
What the Boss Likes – Colonial Williamsburg electronic field trips
A quick note about a series that I think everyone should watch. The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation has started a new series about American history and law for middle school and high school students. These are being broadcast on local PBS stations and you can see the list here. You can see a short commercial for … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Colonial Williamsburg electronic field trips
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Giving credit where credit is due?
Allow me to indulge in a bit of dead-horse beating… The most recent nonsense from the Billy Graham Evangelistic Ministries is about how God simply must be given the credit when anything succeeds. Now, it’s not said quite so broad as that, being presented as how anyone getting better after a successful surgery better thank … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Giving credit where credit is due?
What the Boss Likes – Finger Lakes vacation, part 2 – eating and drinking far too much
After leaving Watkins Glen, we headed for Hammondsport and our bed and breakfast. Hammondsport is at the southern tip of Keuka Lake. It was called “America’s coolest small town” by Budget Travel. I will have to say it’s nice but as someone who grew up near small towns, it takes someone who rarely spent time … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Finger Lakes vacation, part 2 – eating and drinking far too much
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Various thoughts on politics and the current stupidity in the US
While I’m not watching the Daily Show and Jon Stewart’s unfathomable fascination with Bill O’Reilly. I thought I’d do some opinining about politics. First with Bill O’Reilly. The man is willfully ignorant and is proud of it or he’s just a liar and is playing his ignorant audience (hmmm, he has claimed, about himself “This … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Various thoughts on politics and the current stupidity in the US
