What the Boss Likes : a story long in the making

So, I've finished a story I've been working on for.... oh 10 years or more.  I figured I needed to finish something since I'm depressed, tired and generally pissed off about a job that I interviewed for and then the employer decided that, at 3:30 on a Friday, they had to "rethink" the position. It's … Continue reading What the Boss Likes : a story long in the making →

Not So Polite Dinner Conservation – more tasty conservative Christian stupidity

Well, we have “Red”, a complete idiot from somewhere around Tucson, Arizona.  He/she (I’ll default to he since most idiots like this are guys) appears to be one more ignorant conservative Christian who quotes G.K. Chesterton and does so incompetently thanks to the image that “Red” uses in their gravatar. On this post, Red commented … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conservation – more tasty conservative Christian stupidity →

What the Boss Likes – whomever made this wins the internet: Ivanka, the beans and They Live

This is the perfect take on the Ivanka with beans meme.  Don't know who did it, but thank you! This imagery is from They Live, a John Carpenter movie from 1988.  It is about an anyman, played by Roddy Piper (yes the wrestler), and him dealing with aliens who are corrupting humanity.   Considering how inhumane … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – whomever made this wins the internet: Ivanka, the beans and They Live →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – free will not working out well

I've been chatting with a pastor here.  It's about free will and this is a good succinct discussion showing how free will fails pretty quickly for Christians. I'm expecting this all to vanish on his blog. Here's how things have been going (the pastor's quotes are in italics): "exactly how is it just to kill … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – free will not working out well →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – churches got covid bailout money showing that they are no more than frauds

Unsurprisingly, Christians lined up to get covid money for their churches. The Friendly Atheist has a good article on it here.   Now, it'll be interesting to see if one sect will whine about the others that they hate getting money.  I'm guessing other religions also got the same money, so it'll also be interesting if … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – churches got covid bailout money showing that they are no more than frauds →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – I think this bizarre Christian claim deserves a post of its own

My adversary on Kaleidoscope has come out with this curious thing as an answer to my comment "It is, of course, no surprise at all that our author here won’t answer these questions either: “For some reason this god wanted to keep humans ignorant of what good and evil are. Why? Your god wanted Hitler … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – I think this bizarre Christian claim deserves a post of its own →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the continued failure of apologetics

I follow this particular Christian's blog, The Kaleidoscope of Culture, which is a rather curious mix of apologetics and other things.  The author does occasionally write a reply to my comments but he consistently never actually replies to me in the comments, only putting his response in a separate comment. Thus, his replies go unanswered … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – the continued failure of apologetics →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – frustration and futility

I dreamt about dead crows last night.   I was in a parking lot where there was a crow that was black, red and blue. A child kicked it and I tried to help it but it died. Then I was back in my garden where there were more dead and dying crows.   My parents laughed … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – frustration and futility →

What the Boss Likes – my new sticker for my vehicle

After my post about nuke craters, and Dr. Strangelove, Bill kindly pointed me to a friend of his' website all about the B-52 and the SAC program.   There were stickers about the fictional Burpleson AFB which I just had to have.  the website also has a great sample story from the anthologies offered, which … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – my new sticker for my vehicle →
