Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – claims, evidence and research when debating a literalist Christian

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – more inept lies and intentional deceit from TrueChristians™ , Natural Disaster edition

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – No, many conservatives really are this ignorant

I haven't had a Pennsylvania politician post for a while.  But oh this one deserves it in spades.  Scott Wagner, a Republican (what else?) state representative from the district to the south of me, has said the following about climate change: I haven't been in a science class in a long time, but the earth … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – No, many conservatives really are this ignorant

What the Boss likes – or what she thinks is mildly interesting

Arrgh, I have a cold. What tedious misery. The following is pretty much stream of consciousness nattering. Treat it as you will.

Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The seasonal blooming of creationism, it’s school time!

The school year is about to start in Pennsylvania and of course the creationists are in bloom.  How appropriate that our current wannabee theocrat is named Rep. Stephen Bloom, a state representative who wants his religion’s creation story taught as science (here’s his website, and it has an auto play ad on it thanks to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – The seasonal blooming of creationism, it’s school time!

Not Polite Dinner Conversation – On the front of forcing personal religion onto others, we have a couple of stories in the news

A political figure has cracked down on alcohol consumption and the media. A political figure has decided that he and he alone will determine if a woman can have an abortion paid for by Medicaid, a man who has no medical education at all and who will be deciding based on his personal opinion.
