So there’s been a lot of back-and-forth shot trading between the Romney and Obama camps lately. Some of it is hilarious. (“Romney strapped a dog to a car!” “Well Obama ate one!” “Romney’s grandfather was a polygamist!” “Well so was Obama’s father!“) The right wing seems to think these parallels are especially embarrassing to Obama.

Whackjob of Light

Yes, I’m alive! Just haven’t had the time or energy to update anything since I can’t remember when. And Kevin Raybould has a real job, and Tom has a new job and a new house. So thanks for hanging in there. I don’t have anything important to say. This story caught my eye today, though, [...]

I picked up Penn Jillette’s new book God, No!, yesterday, and am already most of the way through it. It’s pitched as an atheist’s version of the “Ten Commandments”. (This apparently was prompted by an exchange Penn had with Glenn Beck that resulted in Penn dashing off his own version of the Ten Commandments and [...]

The onward march of progress: Gallup reports today that overall US public approval of interracial marriage stands at an all-time high of 85% – up from 4% barely 50 years ago. What’s really striking is the almost linear trendline: Predictably, it slows during Republican administrations, and jumped dramatically during the Clinton years, but overall that’s [...]
Christianity in Action: Asshole Pastor Wants to Register Atheists Like Sex Offenders

Running true to a very tedious and familiar form, some nutcase makes waves to prove how Christian he is by proving how crazy he is: Brothers and Sisters , I have been seriously considering forming a ( Christian ) grassroots type of organization to be named “The Christian National Registry of Atheists” or something similar [...]
Special Rights for Pastafarians

Bowing to religious extremists who demand special exemptions from ordinary rules – such as providing clear identification photos on drivers’ licenses – Austria allows religious believers, only, the right to wear headcoverings in their ID photos. An Austrian Pastafarian has demanded that he be allowed to take his ID photo wearing headgear appropriate to his [...]

UPDATE: Texas officials say no bodies found [...]
Who’s Crazy Now?
Posted in Conservative Bullshit Debunked, Culture, General, News & Current Events, Religion on May 21, 2011 |
So God failed to Rapture anybody today … again. But you’ll be glad to know that groups of believers in different end-times-judgment prophecies are rushing to comfort the believers in this weekend’s end-times-judgment prophecy that all will be well if they simply adopt that other prophecy now that their own has failed. That’s progress, Christian-style. [...]
Degrees of Crazy (Small σ)

Just an observation: Obviously the end-times whackos proclaiming that God is going to destroy the earth this weekend because of some crazed interpretation of an equally-crazed prophecy from their Bible are ludicrous. They deserve all the ridicule they are reaping, and all that is to come when their prophecy fails. But their beliefs are almost [...]

Startlingly clear-headed, absolutely right-on interview at Salon with Ira Isaacs, the defendant in a long-running censorship trial, about the absurdity of the obscenity doctrine and the stupidity of the government’s prosecution. Trigger Warning: censorship
