Quick Hitts

Among the many reasons I remain skeptical about Global Warming – excuse me, Climate Change – are the veracity and agendas of those promoting it.  Government, non-government and quasi-government organizations (like the UN) are spreading fear at every opportunity while jumping on the chance to grow their power and income.
The EPA has been a junk [...]

Two days later and we’re still be bombarded by stories about Michael Jackson.  I grew up listening to the Jackson 5, loved Off the Wall and Thriller, but enough already. 
Jackson was raised a Jehovah’s Witness, and was still one when he did the Thriller video, which is why he prefaced it with the disclaimer:  [...]

This is another installment in our continuing series of  Things Atheists Didn’t Do.
A pedophile priest, not an atheist, claimed he was only giving his victim anatomy lessons.
Muslims in Pakistan stoned a Christian man to death.  His crime?  Drinking tea at a roadside stall that was designated for Muslims only.
When a Christian church that tortured a [...]

The protests in Iran have been going on for a week a half.  They are not a flash in the pan, and despite being murdered and beaten the Iranian people are still protesting and refusing to accept the results of the faked election.
And what’s Obama’s reaction?  Half-hearted platitudes about freedom and people choosing their own [...]

My kids got me this for Father’s day.
The mug is emblazoned with the compete Bill of Rights, but when you fill it with hot coffee the parts negated by the Patriot Act fade out. There isn’t much left.
It’s not entirely realistic, because after it cools the missing rights come back, which will probably never [...]

“Nobody’s Business” is one of the few blogs I read regularly.  We’re on similar wavelengths – often covering the same stories.  I just checked it and found he did a bit on the rather obscure news story about Liz Becton the day after I did.  I bookmarked a story about non-pointy knives in Brittan, to [...]

The FDA wants to classify Cheerios as a drug.  Really.
Cheerios claims they reduce cholesterol by 4%, and therefore help reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.  This led the FDA to send them a letter that said, “Based on claims made on your product’s label we have determined (Cheerios) is promoted for conditions that cause [...]

I prefer to be called Dave, not David.  The first time someone calls me David I correct them with one word: “Dave.”  If they persist, it’s not a big deal.
Her Royal Highness Elizabeth Becton, the office manager for Rep. Jim McDermot, has a different approach.  She gets snotty, pissy, bitchy, and just when you’d think [...]

Once again I’ve been accused of not having an open mind.  Once again it was in a forum where I was pointing out that Alternative Medicine is not only a waste of time and money, but can be deadly.  The response was typical – I know better than you because it worked for me, doctors [...]

While right-leaning opinions have always been available, the mass media has been predominately lefty for the past half century.  People on the right think it’s more lefty than it is, but that’s understandable – where you stand on the political wheel determines your perception of the other sides’ position.
But the ever efficient marketplace changed all [...]

Blood Witness is finished! I just released the final episode.
Man, this was an intensive project. Each episode took about five hours of work: An hour to record, 3-4 hours to edit, 15 minutes of post processing, 20-30 minutes of mixing, and another half hour to tag the MP3 files, upload them, update the XML for [...]

It was late and I was tired. I wanted to play some poker. But playing when you’re tired can be very expensive, so I opted for the cheapest games I could find.  I registered for two $1 Sit and Go’s, figuring I’d get $2.50 worth of entertainment out of them.  I put Pandora on my [...]

Several people sent me this article by Michael Moore.  Once again he proves that he’s not just a genus, he’s a Super Genius, on a par with Wile E. Coyote.
He starts out expressing nearly orgasmic joy at the failure of GM.  He pretends he’s not really all that happy, but we can practically hear his [...]
