This day in history (on a lighter note)

On this day in 1822, the Catholic Church admitted that the newfangled heliocentrism idea just might have something going for it:
1822: The College of Cardinals finally caves in to the hard facts of science, saying that the “publication of works treating of the motion of the Earth and the stability of the sun, in accordance [...]

Self Evident

They didn’t stop dying on 9/11. They didn’t just die in New York and DC and Pennsylvania. They’ve been dying every year since, in Afghanistan and Iraq and elsewhere. We fought to make ourselves safe, some will tell you, but the fact is that we have been fighting for retribution, for [...]

Dear Atheist Blogosphere

Please. I’m as freaked out by Sarah Palin as anyone; but people don’t vote for vice-presidential candidates, and the more people focus on her, the less they focus on the dangerous nutjob who’s actually running for office.
Please read this, get some perspective, and focus your attentions somewhere that will work. Because the presidency that will [...]

An Atheist’s Hope

My hope is not based on Faith, that dreary, dessicated thing. My Hope is based on what is real. What is real is this, something that I’ve said before and I’ll say again:
We humans are so amazing when we let ourselves be. That is the source of my Hope. Us. Our abilities, our qualities. Because [...]

Jung’s The Undiscovered Self

I had forgotten how alternately illuminating, infuriating and amusing it can be to read Jung. It takes a definite kind of brilliant mind to be able to go from deep and penetrating to bizarre and odd-ball without blinking.
But when he’s on target, he’s on target, and the questions he asks can trouble you and gnaw [...]

Caligula. The Roman Emperor whose name has become synonymous with madness, depravity, and evil. What do we know about [...]

Whiny turds

Sigh.
So, on September 28th, in an action coordinated by the Alliance Defense Fund, a group of pastors is going to challenge the IRS regulations prohibiting endorsements of candidates by, you guessed it, endorsing candidates.
Just a guess — they won’t be endorsing Obama.
Rant&Reason has the details. There is some good news, though. One, this is the [...]

The Depression — in color

While I’m still busy busy and thinky thinky, here’s another cool old photos link for you:
America in the 1930s — in color!
One of the pictures was taken in Tucson. Cool!
But as I look at these pictures, I wonder — am I the only person who finds himself thinking of that old Calvin and Hobbes comic [...]

YouTube – Barack Obama on Community Organizing

YouTube – Barack Obama on Community Organizing.
So the Republicans offer up snide personal insults that betray a pathetic, school-yard bully mentality.
Obama responds by becoming the fan to their mean-spirited shit.
