Help a girl get home

Thought it would be right to post this along.
kiwi_grrl: Help Me, Please
Help Me, Please
Hi everyone.
So, as of a few hours ago, my father died.
Needless to say, the whole family is in a bit of shock as this came completely out of the blue, totally unexpected. I’ve booked a trip back to NZ, but of course, [...]

Best last issue cover ever

Bloomberg: use as much force as you feel like

On CNN just now, Mayor Michael Bloomberg said: “There is no proportional response to terrorism” as a defense for Israel’s massive assault on Gaza. And while on some level I agree, the comment lacks a certain understanding of reality. If someone attacks, striking back at them with blinding force is fine, but if [...]

Do you think Katy Perry…

Do you think Katy Perry is bothered by the fact that her songs say significantly less about the human condition than just about anything from Miley Cyrus?

All-Star Superman

I just finished All-Star Superman and I have to give it THUMBS UP. I love Frank Quitely’s art and always have, and his Luthor-with-drawn-eyebrow is a masterpiece.

Jihad For Palin?

PALIBAN . . . a new day for Christian America
The PALIBAN!
Clear Vision For A Pure America
The Paliban is a grassroots organization inspired by the principles of Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and the Evangelical and Christian Reconstruction movements.
So the wife spent some time trying to convince me this site was a joke.  And it is.
But it [...]

Immortal

A year or two ago, William Shatner had this movie club where, for like 10 bucks a year, you got a little known horror/sf/fantasy dvd in the mail each month.  I have a ton of these and have watched very few.
This weekend, I watched Immortal. 
I’m not sure if I’d call it a good movie, but [...]

Atheism and PR: Win or Beat?

Recently, I was watching an episode of West Wing.  Toby and Josh have been talking about the upcoming election and candidate.  Josh says something to the effect of “Toby, you want to beat this guy, but I want to win”.Thats something of the problem I’m seeing with atheism of late.  The Xmas sign, the lawsuit [...]
