To get myself in the mood for ridiculing bigots, I’m watching Blazing Saddles and The Constitution USA with Peter Sagal as I write this post. On June 22, 2014, there appeared an anonymous advertisement on page A16 of the Harrisburg Patriot News (Harrisburg, PA). It was ostensibly about how “wrong” Judge Jones III was when … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – on the anonymous ad about the same sex marriage decision in the Harrisburg Patriot 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
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pennsylvania’s anti-equal marriage rights law struck down; let the whining commence
Finally, a break from work and a chance to kibbitz on the interwebs. Here in the US, we are celebrating Memorial Day, a day to remember those who have fallen in combat during our various wars. It’s also a time for celebrating the summer, even though it isn’t officially summer yet. Everyone wants to grill … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Pennsylvania’s anti-equal marriage rights law struck down; let the whining commence
What the Boss Likes – a little schadenfreude for the right wing wingnuts
Supposedly there is supposed to be tens of millions of anti-Obama people on the Mall in Washington DC right now. I guess not so much, considering that one would think that these "patriots" would meet near the Washington Monument in their belief that the Founding Fathers would agree with them. It seems that the fans at … Continue reading What the Boss Likes – a little schadenfreude for the right wing wingnuts
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – what to do if your child comes to the conclusion they are an atheist? maybe not follow the God Squad’s advice
In one of the latest God Squad columns, the querent is a Catholic parent whose 16 year old son has declared he is an atheist. He asks for Rabbi Gellman’s advice on how to convince his son there is a god. The parent, the father, admits that even he and the mother don’t go to … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – what to do if your child comes to the conclusion they are an atheist? maybe not follow the God Squad’s advice
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – we’ve always done it so that makes it always okay
I thought I'd also add to the commentary about the recent US Supreme Court decision about allowing prayer at town meetings. The excuse that the conservative judges used to allow this nonsense is no more than "we've always done it so that makes it always okay". If each state wants to have its own rules that … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – we’ve always done it so that makes it always okay
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Religion and guns, and the concordant stupidity
Good to know that people in Georgia are so scared of everything, or need a replacement phallus 🙂 , that they need to have their guns on them at all times, even in church. Hmmm, if one is to believe in the Christians claim that their god protects them, then carrying a gun is nonsense … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Religion and guns, and the concordant stupidity
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “The Bible Rules” episode 2, Sex
Many apologies for not being around much for the last couple of weeks. I have a full-time job now and I have yet to get my schedule situated to allow for posting to this blog as I would like. I’m a couple of episodes behind in watching “The Bible Rules”. The most recent one I’ve … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – “The Bible Rules” episode 2, Sex
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A review of the Noah movie trailer. Oh my, the silliness and this is only a few minutes of an hours long movie.
Haven’t seen the movie yet probably won’t, because I have no desire to add to the box office hits for this stinker. But I thought I’d take a look at the trailer and the movie website. I do enjoy showing how ridiculous the flood myth is, and have done so multiple times on this blog. … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – A review of the Noah movie trailer. Oh my, the silliness and this is only a few minutes of an hours long movie.
Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cue uncomfortable smiles, History Channel 2’s new series “The Bible Rules”
I had the opportunity to watch “The Bible Rules” a new series on the History Channel 2. This is about the lesser known bits of the bible, the parts that many Christians and Jews have no idea exist since most of their leaders will judiciously ignore them in favor of the happy fuzzy parts. It’s … Continue reading Not So Polite Dinner Conversation – Cue uncomfortable smiles, History Channel 2’s new series “The Bible Rules”
