A Christian that I have had a chance to cross swords with, Lyle Duell, has written one of the best essays on why a new atheist has made the right decision. This is, of course, rather inadvertently on his part, or at least I suspect so. Once upon a time, one could comment on Mr. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation: an excellent essay on why a new atheist has come to the correct conclusion, written by a TrueChristian

Not So Polite Conversation – when deities have a hard time of it
The Christian god has had a rough couple of weeks in here in the US. Its hand picked candidates who were told that they would win the presidency have dropped out, leaving more handpicked ones behind. Santorum, Huckabee, Fiorina, etc were such fantastic examples of lying Christians, I’m sorry to see them leave. And, then, … Continue reading Not So Polite Conversation – when deities have a hard time of it
What the Boss Likes – John Fetterman, hopefully my next Senator
John Fetterman is mayor of Braddock, a mill town near Pittsburgh, PA. It suffered awfully when the steel mills ended in many towns here in the northeast. Mr. Fetterman has been doing wonders for it, but it's a tough row to hoe. He's running for the US Senate. Support him if you can. He also … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – John Fetterman, hopefully my next Senator
What the Boss Likes – telling it like it is, Neil deGrasse Tyson stands against stupidity and ignorance
This needs spread far and wide. One should always counter ignorance and stupidity. It's up to all of us. Neil deGrasse Tyson just does it better than most. 🙂
From the Kitchen and Bar – I have committed a culinary sin….and it was goooood
A week after Snowzilla and we still have about a foot of snow still on the ground. I’ve been tossing out old bread and stale snacks for the local crows, squirrels and little birdies since they have little to eat. Yesterday we had a huge number of crows in the neighborhood. There must have been … Continue reading From the Kitchen and Bar – I have committed a culinary sin….and it was goooood
What the Boss Likes – Snowzilla, and a couple of pics from last summer
Update: The aftermath. Husband is digging out the bug. Here I am sitting in the belly of Snowzilla, the current nor'easter battering the east coast of the US. We have about 12 inches of snow (30.5 cm for you who have a sensible measurement system), and we still have around 10 hours of snow … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Snowzilla, and a couple of pics from last summer
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Smells worse than a wet wookie – spoiler alert
Just got back from The Force Awakens. We’d waited a bit to see the movie since we don’t like crowds. Alas, that didn’t help in this instance, the theatre was near full on a Monday afternoon (a US holiday). I do wish I had waited longer. It stunk like a dianoga. Spoilers are below. Yes, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Smells worse than a wet wookie – spoiler alert
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a Marvel-ous morality
I've been having some discussions with Christians on morality. They certainly are sure that their morality and only theirs is divinely approved. This chunk of comic (when Beta Ray Bill was wielding Mjolnir, aka Meow-Meow, in the Thor comics), is a good antidote to such nonsense. And found Thor's Hammer kittens on etsy: https://www.etsy.com/listing/168518362/mew-mew-mjolnir-kitty-small?ref=shop_home_active_4 Far … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a Marvel-ous morality
What the Boss likes – or what she thinks is mildly interesting
Arrgh, I have a cold. What tedious misery. The following is pretty much stream of consciousness nattering. Treat it as you will. Apple Pie moonshine from Old Republic Distillery is very good mixed about half and half with boiling water and with a bit of hot buttered rum “batter” aka equal parts of butter and … Continue reading What the Boss likes – or what she thinks is mildly interesting
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – myth, fact and what should be presented in a magazine about science and history
Just got my latest Smithsonian magazine. I have a particular fondness for this magazine, being one of the first I got when I was a kid in the late 70s. One of the first issues had the shots of Io’s volcanoes from Voyager 1. About a decade later, I got an internship at one of … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – myth, fact and what should be presented in a magazine about science and history
