Many years ago, I had the great pleasure and honor to meet and have dinner with George Takei. This was at college when I was helping pick speakers to come in. He had been at my college before, back when I was then in junior high and since I got the chance, and me being … Continue reading What the Boss likes – George Takei, Kraft and General Mills

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pennsylvania legislators tell the truth….inadvertently
In a prior post, I discussed the voter ID law and how it would impact those who would tend not to vote for the Republicans/Tea Party. And now we know that the Republicans meant it that way by their own words. House Majority Leader Mike Turzai - R, Allegheny County has forgotten his talking points … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pennsylvania legislators tell the truth….inadvertently
Not so polite dinner conversation – It’s on the interwebs so it must be true! – Christian ads claiming to have the “truth”
If you’ve frequented various blogs, especially and ironically the freethought blogs it seems, you will have seen an ad that claims that there are 6 reasons to believe in God at a website called everystudent.com. Being bored, I followed that link and found that the author Marilyn Adamson does indeed give six claims on why she thinks people … Continue reading Not so polite dinner conversation – It’s on the interwebs so it must be true! – Christian ads claiming to have the “truth”
Not so polite dinner conversation – Stay thee back, tides!
Lest anyone be surprised, an economic group seems to be making headway in influencing the North Carolina legislature to ignore reality and to substitute their own. In the complete spirit of anti-intellectualism, the people at NC-20 want to pretend their ignorance is considered just as good as anyone’s knowledge because they have *said* so. Unsuprisingly, this … Continue reading Not so polite dinner conversation – Stay thee back, tides!
Not so polite dinner conversation – When all you have are lies
If you tell a lie and tell it intentionally and repeatedly, what does that say about you? Lies are generally held to be detrimental to society and the people who tell them; stories about this being part and parcel of our fables and myths. We have “The Boy Who Cried Wolf” as being one of … Continue reading Not so polite dinner conversation – When all you have are lies

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. They are ever-so sure that their god hates homosexuality and by golly, their magical book says it! One of the more amusing people being so sure that they are the only TrueChristian is Ken Ham, he of … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Human rights and primitive religions
Not so polite dinner conversation – Voting, religion and the usual PA nonsense
Went and voted today here in the primary election ofPennsylvania. I had been registered independent but changed back to Democrat so I could participate. In PA, we have a lot of what I suppose could be called DINOs, Democrats in name only, at least when it comes to women’s issues (Senator Bob Casey for one, … Continue reading Not so polite dinner conversation – Voting, religion and the usual PA nonsense
