What the Boss Likes – The Mormon Candidate
No, the boss doesn't like Romney, but she likes the BBC documentary "The Mormon Candidate", which I saw on Current TV last night. Generally, I find Current about as interesting as CSPAN but occasionally it gets my interest. It does a great job showing how odd religion is and Mormonism aka Church of Later Day Saints is … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – The Mormon Candidate
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Rough Men and taking a stand
People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf. – attributed to George Orwell, Winston Churchill etc, and likely to have some basis in Orwell’s comment about Rudyard Kipling: “He sees clearly that men can only be highly civilized while other men, inevitably less … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Rough Men and taking a stand
What the Boss Likes – Pennsylvania Geology
Finally some geology. I had been wanted to do a bit about the spectacular geology in Pennsylvania for a while now and finally got around to taking my camera long to take shots of a very nice road cut. Of course, after scrambling up a embankment to get some photos, I find that Google Maps … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Pennsylvania Geology
What the Boss Likes – PA State Atheist/Humanist Conference, Harrisburg Crowne Plaza, September 28-20, 2012
A bit on the side of short notice, I’ve just discovered that the local atheist and free-thought groups in Pennsylvania are having a conference here in the state’s capitol the end of September this year. They have an excellent list of speakers. I’m not a member of any of the local groups, not being that … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – PA State Atheist/Humanist Conference, Harrisburg Crowne Plaza, September 28-20, 2012
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – PA’s Voter ID law stands, for now
In Pennsylvania, the GOP/TP “suddenly” became alarmed by all of the voter fraud. They can’t show that it happens in any numbers above fractions of a percent, but oh, they did need to change the laws. Funny how it wasn’t a problem for them UNTIL a Democrat who happened to not be “white” won the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – PA’s Voter ID law stands, for now
A Night Out – Otto’s Pub and Brewery
Last week we ventured up to State College, PA, home of Penn State University. Husband had a job interview up there and I acted as pilot so he could spend sometime relaxing before getting grilled about various kinds of IT craziness. As usual, we looked for somewhere to get food and a beer up there … Continue reading A Night Out – Otto’s Pub and Brewery
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – War on Religion
The culture wars have been revived yet again by the Romney campaign. Unable to get people to stop asking him for his tax records, and pointing out he has no economic plan other than Bush policies taking to extremes, Romney has returned to the usual attempts to create wedge issues between Americans, right out of … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – War on Religion
From the Kitchen – Chocolate Toffee Chip Cookies
Everyone needs a tasty snack now and then. Especially when blogging about political and religious idiocy which seems far far too common anymore. I’m not much of a sweets person but I do like Toll House style cookies with their salt quotient. Yep, I’m bit of a salt monster. My husband came up with this … Continue reading From the Kitchen – Chocolate Toffee Chip Cookies
What the Boss Likes – New Frontiers
Curiosity has landed! And another step on the “new frontier” has been taken. WOOT! We’re also still taking steps on the new frontier that John Kennedy spoke of back in July 1960. Why is this on my mind? I watched “Justice League: New Frontier” yesterday. It starts with the paranoia of the 50s and ends … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – New Frontiers
