The Freedom From Religion Foundation has an excellent news release on this. I am a member and I recommend that you be one too. Trump has appointed an active climate change denialist, religionist Scott Pruitt, to head the EPA. The New York Times documents in an article boldly titled "Denialists in Charge" how federal posts are now filled … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Why climate change is a state/church issue

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the flying spaghetti monster and a Christian walk into a bar…
It shouldn’t amaze me anymore, but it does. The deceit that pastors and priest practice on their flocks knows no shame. Recently, Dave, the pastor from a church in England who I have addressed before, has been on a tear to insist that atheists are wrong. As usual, an atheist can’t comment on his posts … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the flying spaghetti monster and a Christian walk into a bar…
From the Kitchen and the Bar – samoa pie, and wine
The samoa in the title is the Girl Scout cookie. My spouse *loves* them. They are basically a shortbread cookie covered in caramel, toasted coconut and chocolate. They still are pretty good, though many of the cookies seem to less than what I remember. Of course it could simply be the glow of nostalgia. I, … Continue reading From the Kitchen and the Bar – samoa pie, and wine
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a new poll indicating a more secular America, and a hardening of evangelicals

Curiously enough, this group voted … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a new poll indicating a more secular America, and a hardening of evangelicals
What the Boss Likes – you need this app: NASA’s Eyes on the Earth
http://eyes.jpl.nasa.gov/eyes-on-the-earth.html real time satellite stuff. Once downloaded, you can change among what you view. If you go to the "missions" tab at the right, you can look a certain sat's stuff. I recommend GRACE, which does gravity. I'm going to guess that the f*cktards now in power will try to kill it.
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – hmmm, God or Tyvek(tm)
This is Ray "Banana Man" Comfort's latest little trick Shucks, it's a tract printed on Tyvek(tm) or some similar tear-resistant material. So, poor ol' Ray has to depend on modern science to try to pretend that there is something magical happening. Funny how a pair of scissors or a nice knife can overwhelm this sad … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – hmmm, God or Tyvek(tm)
Not so Polite Dinner Conversation – a day without a woman
There has been talk about the protest action “day without women” as being somehow “elitist” because not all women can take a day off work. If a woman cannot take a day from work without putting her job or family in jeopardy, that is the point of this protest. If a mom losing a day’s … Continue reading Not so Polite Dinner Conversation – a day without a woman
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a gathering of thoughts about various recent events.
Vermin-in-Chief Ray Comfort, the fellow who tried to get atheists to take his book by giving out food gift certificates and was shamed in to giving said certificates to people who need food (still $7,000 unaccounted for), wants to tell his followers to tell the Jewish people that they are so very “angry” about the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a gathering of thoughts about various recent events.
