A political figure has cracked down on alcohol consumption and the media. A political figure has decided that he and he alone will determine if a woman can have an abortion paid for by Medicaid, a man who has no medical education at all and who will be deciding based on his personal opinion. More … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – On the front of forcing personal religion onto others, we have a couple of stories in the news

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Euthanasia, atheists in “foxholes” and my cat
(if it is too much to read about another person’s grief for the reader, I would suggest you skip this post.) Today I had to have my one cat euthanized, a polite word for having to have my cat killed because it was the best decision of a lot of bad ones. I’ve read that … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Euthanasia, atheists in “foxholes” and my cat
What the Boss Likes – putting it in perspective
A rather complex series of images that show just how silly religion is courtesy of various folks' tumblr accounts: http://applepiesfromscratch.tumblr.com/post/49363632963/fight-the-power-happy-national-masturbation Yep, out of a whole universe we get a deity that is terribly concerned with masturbation and appearing on toast....
Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Pulpit Freedom Sunday is back and I’m glad!
This coming Sunday is “Pulpit Freedom Sunday” where some Christians have decreed a day where they can speak their minds about various issues from the pulpit and thus from a position of authority. And indeed, I am glad that they have made it so easy to watch just how Christians don’t agree on much of … Continue reading Not Polite Dinner Conversation – Pulpit Freedom Sunday is back and I’m glad!
What the Boss Likes – Our garden
The weather in south-central PA has been great for our garden. I thought I'd show a few photos of our tiny, in-the-city plot. And the formatting is giving me fits. Red simple roses in an old frost box. Our wooden fence is due for replacing but I like its weathered look. There is comfrey to … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Our garden
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Prayers have failed: Bachmann is out and our own local wannabee theocrat, plus the Pope
Seeing Michele Bachmann deliberately lying on TV makes me feel all warm and cozy inside. Few things should do more to show how religion doesn't make a person a decent, humane, human being, and it sure doesn’t keep them from breaking every rule in their very own religion. Like so many politicians who get caught … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Prayers have failed: Bachmann is out and our own local wannabee theocrat, plus the Pope
What the Boss Likes – superheroes, sheep, a review of the new ST movie, and one spectacular failure
Wondermark's amusement at Batman's expense: http://wondermark.com/939/ Not sure if I came up with this on my own but I came up with an explanation of Batman and his villains. Bruce is nuts and was funding them himself. How else explain why the Joker always has plenty of money to build deathtraps? Art of Manliness has … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – superheroes, sheep, a review of the new ST movie, and one spectacular failure
From the Kitchen – cheap recipes and all that entails
After that last monstrously long post, I figured something light was in order. So here are a few recipes that I’ve made recently. they are cheap. Like many cheap recipes, they can be rather unhealthy. The first is probably one of the worst, but it's a treat. The other two, it's not hard to see … Continue reading From the Kitchen – cheap recipes and all that entails
Not So Pleasant Dinner Conversation – Juries, etc (Postzilla) part 2
Rather than having one mega post, here is part 2 of the post about juries, etc. Part one is here. I have said that there are only stories that Paul existed as claimed. That includes his supposed conversion. I can also say that there are only stories that Simon Magus flew around since that also … Continue reading Not So Pleasant Dinner Conversation – Juries, etc (Postzilla) part 2
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Juries, sources and what the gospels has to say about 500 witnsses among other things (aka Postzilla part 1)
this post has been split into two parts. part 2 can be found here.) Sorry for the hiatus on the blog, everyone. I thought I might address one of the comments on one of the other blog entries since there are some interesting claims by a Christian apologist and a blog entry is more … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Juries, sources and what the gospels has to say about 500 witnsses among other things (aka Postzilla part 1)
