What the Boss Likes – Some time killers for a Friday

While I'm sitting here listening to the soundtrack of Rocky Horror Picture Show (my husband introduced me to this when we first were dating), let me show you some cool links. Awesome photos of the tunnel projects in New York City: http://xfinity.comcast.net/slideshow/news-nyctunnels/?cid=hero_media Planetary romance webcomic of the same genre as "A Princess of Mars: http://www.perilsonplanetx.com/archives/comic/coming-soon Hard-boiled … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Some time killers for a Friday →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 10 – and I’m done …. for now

It is finished!  In this last installment of addressing a particular TrueChristiantm’s claims, we have some of the most ridiculous claims.  I’m not sure if he thought this was the best he had and he wanted a “strong” finish or if it’s just coincidence.  Again, here is the pdf truechristian post 19-23 (EDIT: 02-21-13- our … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 10 – and I’m done …. for now →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 9, the second half of #19, limestone, coelacanths and circular reasoning

Part 2 of the entry for #19  We're at the penultimate post for addressing all of this nonsense!  Next are mentions of limestones, living fossils and polystrate fossils.  Oh and a quote from Dawkins, whom creationists are sure that all atheists worship.  The quote is “"Creationists are fond of saying that there are very few fossils in … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 9, the second half of #19, limestone, coelacanths and circular reasoning →

What the Boss Likes – White House petition calling for investigation and prosecution of those who lied about the Iraq War

A small break for some politics by holding people accountable.  Please sign the petition here.  Sorry, my international friends, you unfortunately can't. "In that all evidence so far revealed supports that the Bush/Cheney administration intentionally lied to involve the US into the Iraq War, there should be an investgation into who was responsible for the … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – White House petition calling for investigation and prosecution of those who lied about the Iraq War →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 8 – #19 the first half, geology, misapprehensions about evolution, carbon dating and more quote-mining

We’re on the home stretch now, though the section numbered 19 is probably the longest one.  It’s also probably the best for someone like me who wishes to show how creationists are just so silly.  The pdf of the text of the last part (sections 19-23) of our TrueChristiantm’s post is here: truechristian post 19-23. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 8 – #19 the first half, geology, misapprehensions about evolution, carbon dating and more quote-mining →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 7 – more geology and creationist “credentials”

If you’ve haven’t been reading along in the original post, you won’t know that the name of the book “_” is verbatim from his text of part 16. One would hope the poster would correct that but it is unintentionally funny and demonstrative on how much real evidence bible literalists and young earth creationists have.   … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 7 – more geology and creationist “credentials” →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 6 – Geology and the burden of proof

In 14 (of the original post here), our Christian reveals that river floods aren’t worldwide. Great shock to all of you, I know.  After finding this bit of the glaringly obvious, he then declares that while ancient people knew this kind of flood, they certainly wouldn’t mistake it for a global flood “even after the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 6 – Geology and the burden of proof →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 5 – Not so much geology but dueling myths

We are now at section 13.  One can see the desperation rise noticeably.  I’ve posted the typed text of his post at the end of this paragraph, rather than put it into the body of the blog post.   It’s a pdf of sections 13-18 (so I’ll be referring to it in subsequent posts). Be warned, … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Part 5 – Not so much geology but dueling myths →

From the Bar and Kitchen – Pizza break

A pizza break to get away from the stultifying theist nonsense and give my poor eyes a rest.   This weekend’s meal and a movie is homemade pizza and “The Spirit”.  The movie, “The Spirit” is from 2008.  It was a riff on what made Sin City popular, stylized graphics, hyperviolence and a distinctly noir feel.  … Continue reading From the Bar and Kitchen – Pizza break →
