What the Boss Likes – Obama’s comments on Ayn Rand, Rolling Stone interview

To preface this: I really despise Ayn Rand.  My first roommate in college, Oy.  I swear she only read Ayn Rand and listened to Jethro Tull and Yes.   She gave me Atlas Shrugged to read.  I shrugged back. Wheee, teen-age level selfishness, how "impressive".  My husband had a copy of The Fountainhead, so I tried reading that … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Obama’s comments on Ayn Rand, Rolling Stone interview →

What the Boss Likes – More Geology Pron

I'm mildly addicted to watching geology shows on cable tv. My husband calls it my geology pron and the poor dear has been subjected to more of it than any one should be who doesn't share an unnatural love of rocks.   If you share that malady, here are some very nice websites/blogs: Photovolcanica  it has … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – More Geology Pron →

What the Boss Likes – WTFU 2012, Samuel L. Jackson

Not even remotely safe for work.   Samuel L. Jackson in Wake the Fuck Up 2012 http://wtfu2012.com/  Work safe version: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-caGkwSRjPU&feature=player_embedded  Obama is not perfect, far from it.   But he's succeeded in much of what he said he would do.  That's better than Romney, who has only succeeded in showing an inability to honestly present … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – WTFU 2012, Samuel L. Jackson →

What the Boss Likes – All the Queen’s Men

Getting up early-ish on a Saturday sometimes has its rewards.  I caught the movie All the Queen's Men, a comedy about World War 2. Those are always rather dicey to watch, but often are very good, e.g. To Be or Not To Be either with Jack Benny or Mel Brooks, combining enough deadly serious reality, … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – All the Queen’s Men →

What the Boss Likes – Hard Magic by Larry Correia, and some political caveats about the writer

First off, I’ve just finished “Hard Magic” by Larry Correia. It’s very good, excellent dieselpunk with magic.  I kinda wish it wasn’t. (BTW, I've tried to make sure that there are no spoilers about the book  in this post. But as always, read at your own risk.) Why does it seem that so many people who … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Hard Magic by Larry Correia, and some political caveats about the writer →

What the Boss Likes – Taking a stand because you dissed one of my heros

I’ve been watching, and occasionally kibitzing on, the misogyny on various atheism blogs and then watched the misogyny get carried over into the atheism plus discussion, which gets its own flak.  It seems that some people, self-described atheist or not, self-described skeptic or not, sure get their panties in a wad when they don’t get … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Taking a stand because you dissed one of my heros →

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 →

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 →
