It’s Christina‘s birthday!  Everybody wish her a happy 1up. 

Amanda Berry is one of the three kidnap victims who escaped on Tuesday.  During Amanda’s captivity, her mother spoke with heartless fraud one of America’s most famous “psychics”, Sylvia Browne, who told her that her daughter was dead. A year after Amanda Berrydisappeared in Cleveland, her mother appeared on “The Montel Williams Show” to speak [...]

Yesterday I wrote a post about an 83 year-old nun trying to steal uranium that I got pretty much entirely wrong.  The nun is actually a hero.  She’s part of a group called the Plowshares Movement which does non-violent protests against nuclear arms. 1. absolutely nonviolent to people, 2. each actor claimed personal responsibility for [...]

Allie of Hyperbole and a Half has put up her first post in a very long time.  It’s about living with depression and the miasma that precedes not wanting to live anymore.  Just like the rest of her work, is beautiful.  Her experience pretty much mirrors my own. And every direction was bullshit for a [...]

Well this is just weird. A federal jury has found an 83-year-old nun and two fellow protesters guilty of breaking into the Y-12 National Security Complex and defacing a uranium processing plant. Man, good thing she wasn’t aiding and abetting child rapists, otherwise her punishment may be to be made pope. I just…what was she [...]

Whatever contagion that my roommate has been carting around the house has found it’s way into me.  I’m going to spite it by awarding myself a three day weekend and resting.  So you all can talk among yourselves. If I’m wrong, and there is a heaven to which I must go before getting to spend [...]

Today, as decreed by Congress, is the National Day of Prayer in which all Americans are encouraged to turn to god in prayer and meditation.  Strangely, I recall “masturbation” being spelled differently (and being a lot more fun). The American Humanist Association has simultaneously declared today to be the National Day of Reason, where Americans [...]

For the record, my lovely fiancee will be part of a small contingent of Kansas atheists who will get a thirty minute audience with uber religious Gov. Sam Brownback today to talk about issues related to atheists.  I’m very proud of her. Leave her comments of encouragement!

Total beers: 2 So I’m already getting tipsy, which means I’m bursting into song.  So I’ve started up the live stream where you can come tell me what to sing for a donation to the SSA, no matter how small.
