It is my unvarnished views on politics and religion) I believe in contesting the lies of bullies and cowards at every turn. Susan Stamper Brown is a conservative Christian opinion writer.

What the Boss Likes – Longwood Gardens (and a quick recipe)
Across the first weekend in September, we went to Longwood Gardens, one of the estates that used to be owned by the DuPont family (the chemical people). This is one of the more famous gardens in the US and is quite beautiful. They just spent $90 million to refurbish the main fountain gardens and were … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Longwood Gardens (and a quick recipe)
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – where the American president is a bigot, the mid-South needs help, and an anti-choice twit demonstrates how very deceitful they can be
What a fun time here in the US. So, we have the liar and wannabee despot Trump pardoning a liar and a bigot, Arapaio, who used the power of his office to harass people who weren’t white. Why anyone thought or currently thinks this ignorant orange ass wasn’t a white supremacist and bigot, I have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – where the American president is a bigot, the mid-South needs help, and an anti-choice twit demonstrates how very deceitful they can be
From the Kitchen, from the Bar and from the garden: a meandering post about various things
I haven’t had a food and drink post for awhile. A handful of weeks ago we decided to see if we could grill whole Cornish hens on our small barreled shaped grill. We didn’t want to butterfly them which would be simpler, but to have a little whole chicken for each of us. Many years … Continue reading From the Kitchen, from the Bar and from the garden: a meandering post about various things

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Christian “Science” and the art of the con
Well, this week, the Christian Scientists here in Harrisburg mailed out fliers about how they were going to have a healing talk down at their church, by Josh Niles (a supposed veteran which make me wonder why the local VA hospital isn’t empty). There are few things I find more disgusting than theists making baseless claims … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Christian “Science” and the art of the con
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – on this Fourth of July
The Freedom From Religion Foundation has a good post for the Fourth of July, our national holiday here in the US. "On this date in 1776, Thomas Jefferson's "Declaration of Independence" was adopted, after a vote approving it on July 2. Its secular purpose was to "dissolve the political bands," and it inaugurated the anti-biblical … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – on this Fourth of July
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – when the SCOTUS ignores facts to funnel public monies to churches
Unsurprisingly, the conservatives on the SCOTUS (Supreme Court of the United States) ignored the fact that church in the recent Trinity Lutheran case admitted that their playground that they were requesting state funding for was part of their ministry. It was not a case of "but think of the children" in wanting a safer playground, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – when the SCOTUS ignores facts to funnel public monies to churches
What the Boss Likes: So we went to Boston
About two weeks ago now, we took an extra-long weekend up to Boston. My spouse has been working on a fiction story set there (and in New England, Cthulhu donchaknow? 😊 ) and it seemed as good as any place to vacation. We took the train overnight to the city. That made for one long … Continue reading What the Boss Likes: So we went to Boston
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: about that Revelation thing…
I’ve been waiting for Pastor Dave to finish his series on Revelation. The part I was most interested in was how he would handle chapters 19-21, which we had discussed but where he never was willing to give me his interpretation of it. I’m very glad that he did get a chance to tell me … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: about that Revelation thing…
