Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – perhaps there is some hope

Happily, the wannabee nazis and theocrats were beaten back a bit last night. That doesn't mean the wannabee nazis and theocrats aren't still out there, they always will be, but perhaps we can see a bit of light at the end of the tunnel. It's no surprise that the orange rapist now wants to change … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – perhaps there is some hope →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – frustration and futility

I dreamt about dead crows last night.   I was in a parking lot where there was a crow that was black, red and blue. A child kicked it and I tried to help it but it died. Then I was back in my garden where there were more dead and dying crows.   My parents laughed … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – frustration and futility →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cause and Effect – exhorting violence leads to violence

Well, this has been quite a week here in the US. We have had a conservative sending bombs to famous liberals from his van plastered with all of the hate that Trump has spouted, and then we have had a conservative shooting up a synagogue here in Pennsylvania. I went to college in Pittsburgh for … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cause and Effect – exhorting violence leads to violence →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – be nice

a rather awesome video (not safe for work for language) that has been around but we just encountered it and thought it needed to be spread a little further.  Always good to have a metal message about freedom and human rights especially when the US is flirting with such stupidity as we are now.   … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – be nice →

What the Boss Likes – Reason Rally 2016

We are back from the Reason Rally 2016 which was June 4th.    The weather wasn't looking to promising as we drove down from Harrisburg, low clouds and drizzle, and I was dreading another repeat of 2012.  But once we got there the sky lifted with high clouds, and later in the day, the sun peaked out. … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – Reason Rally 2016 →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Here we go again in PA, TrueChristians hiding behind nationalism

In their ritual of showing off how virtuous they are, some PA representatives are trying to again force their version of their religion on others in HB 1640, aka "National Motto Display Act".  The sponsoring representative is Chris Dush (such a name, miserable to grow up with and certainly appropriate now).   The rest of the … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Here we go again in PA, TrueChristians hiding behind nationalism →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a selection of thoughts from the recent news

Just some various thoughts about religion, politics, etc. None were showing promise as a blog post on their own, but I found them interesting enough to gather together. ........... No idea what is going on with the Republican party or its candidates. Trump seems to be doing his best to get attention but to have … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – a selection of thoughts from the recent news →

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – More TrueChristian antics in Pennsylvania, ten commandments, mottos, etc

Here in PA, we have the usual nonsense. In one more instance of trying to pander to the theocrats, we have one of the usual state legislators again trying to get his particular religion forced on everyone in the public schools; now it's "optional".  We also have the usual attempts by TrueChristians trying to keep one … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – More TrueChristian antics in Pennsylvania, ten commandments, mottos, etc →
