Oh my, what *will* the GOP/TP do when Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion and didn't obey their will? He was joined by Justices Sonia Sotomayor, Stephen Breyer, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Elena Kagan. Thank you all for doing what's right for the country. Unsuprisingly, Justices Anthony Kennedy, Samuel Alito, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas were … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – SCOTUS decision on health care

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Destroying what you don’t like
Unsuprisingly, Pat Robertson has advocated for the destruction of religious images that are not his own. In a recent bit on his television show, he advises a "good Christian" to destroy the statue of Buddah that her friend has. Now, where have we seen such destruction advocated before? Hmmm, oh yes, that cesspool of one … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Destroying what you don’t like
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Human rights and primitive religions
Since President Obama has said that he supports gay marriage, the religious right is now having a fit.

Not so polite dinner conversation – True Reason
I've been engaging with Tom Gilson, someone with the True Reason group. I had stated that I had not heard or seen this group at the Reason Rally.

The Reason Rally is tomorrow. Yep, the weather may well suck, but it doesn’t matter (and heck the farmers need the rain. Since I need them who am I to bitch?). I’m relatively close by, and people need to see that atheists, agnostics, free thinkers, etc, are willing to stand up to be counted.

Representative Kathy Rapp (R- McKean, Forest and WarrenCountieslkrapp@pahousegop.com ) has taken it upon herself to try to force yet one more medically unnecessary ultrasound on a woman before she gets an abortion.

Not so polite dinner conversation – Saccone is at it again
As one can see from my post below, I have little patience for Pennsylvanialegislators wasting time lying about how “Christian” the US is. Representative Saccone saw fit to be “shocked, shocked” that anyone took issue with his bill, and made even more poor arguments. You can see his further claims that were published here and … Continue reading Not so polite dinner conversation – Saccone is at it again
