Shockingly, John McCain breaks the law, Obama gets the heat

Yes, don’t forget, it looks like McCain may be breaking federal law
Of course, that doesn’t matter.  What matters is Obama changed his mind, completely legally, to do his own fundraising, completely legally.  Again, there’s these cries of ‘flip-flop’.  I don’t understand that.  I suppose mindlessly sticking to whatever decision you made in the past, no [...]

A few words on George Carlin

When I was 11 or 12, I had two comedy albums.  One was by Bill Cosby (it had the Noah bit on it which is still brilliant) and the other was George Carlin’s “A Place For My Stuff” (I think that was the title).
These are two great albums to have, because the illustrate two very [...]

Priest: Atheists require reasonable evidence to believe something, therefor they are wrong

I can’t say much about this book, and from the interview at least, it sounds like it is primarily critical of anti-religion arguments by atheists, rather than somehow defending the existence of god, which is fine, but the fact is that the sources cited for the existence of Jesus are simply pathetic. If a [...]

After a long hiatus

I am returned!
Anyhow, a few things spring to mind before I actually start letting myself be informed about the world again (yes, I admit it, living in a box is very nice).
1. The two most under-rated bands of the 80s: Oingo Boingo, Missing Persons
2. If you hate your PC now, switch to a Mac and [...]
