Remember back when Mike Huckabee held that rally for Kim Davis and used Survivor’s Eye Of The Tiger without permission? The band actually posted to their Facebook page: “NO! We did not grant Kim Davis any rights to use ‘My Tune -The Eye Of The Tiger,’” the band wrote on its official Facebook page on Tuesday. “I would not grant her the rights to use Charmin! C’mom Mike, you are not The Donald but you can do better than that.” Remember when... Read more
This morning the SCOTUS handed down its ruling on Whole Women’s Health v. Hellerstedt. This case came from Texas (of course it did) and had to do with Texas saying that abortion clinics needed to have admitting privileges. They obviously don’t as having an abortion is one of the safest procedures out there. The irony is that while Texas said this was about protecting women’s health, it was actually about infringing it. It’s kind of like if they wanted to... Read more
So, my skill in the kitchen is undeniable………ly lacking. Holy shit, I’m horrible. I got A’s in chemistry in college, but I swear to FSM I sometimes struggle to make a sandwich. However, with the wife starting med school soon I’ve committed to being more of a house husband — that means conquering this mountain. Today it’s nothing special: chicken legs dipped in oil, rubbed down with a spice concoction, and into the slow cooker with minced garlic, chicken broth,... Read more
Hi guys! I’m off today to visit the father-in-law. Last night our family dressed up all classy and joined some other classy heathens for IHOP pancakes: Read more
And now I’m back to keeping up with the rest of the world. I won’t lie, as time goes on there is a growing sense of ennui inside of me. I used to think that atheists were more skeptical, more reasonable. After all, they reached the more reasonable position about god’s existence, so wouldn’t that follow? Well, no, it turns out. So while I’m still passionate about being informed about things, I’m rapidly losing my interest in trying to help... Read more
Relevant links: My original post Neil’s response And here we go again. First, sorry it’s taken so long. While making assertions takes hardly any time, fact-checking and trying to confirm to deny all claims made with evidence simply takes time. I’ve done nothing with my blog the last few weeks but work on this. This is simply the price of good skepticism on complex topics. The Police Report Ok, first, let’s talk about the police report. Neil made a public... Read more
A quick thing before I get cleaned up and hit the road, just because I saw it pop up in my new feed and I think it’s important: a federal appeals court upheld Obama’s directives on net neutrality this morning: A federal appeals court Tuesday upheld a White House-supported effort to make internet service providers treat all web traffic equally, delivering a major defeat to cable and telephone companies. The D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals sustained the FCC’s latest net... Read more
It’s E3 everyone! Time to freak out over new games, more hardware to go broke on and PC games for everyone! I don’t want to make this post about me; it’s about what you guys are enjoying. Let me (and everyone else) know what you’ve liked so far, what you haven’t liked and what you think about all this VR? I’ll go first. I nearly lost my mind last night when the Sony keynote opened with God of War. My... Read more
Good morning, all. For those who didn’t know, Dave sold his home and bought a new one across town, closer to KU Med where the wife starts classes this summer. Last weekend we moved most of our stuff (and I’m glad for it now, since otherwise I would’ve spent all day reading about the Orlando shooting :\). Even today my body (specifically my legs) are done with life. Yesterday I did battle with the evil empire of Time-Warner Cable (which,... Read more
It’s a rare occasion where I immediately agree with Mitch McConnell: In an interview with Bloomberg’s Masters of Politics podcast, McConnell said he hoped Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump would select a vice presidential candidate with a lot of experience to make up for his lack of policy expertise. “He needs someone highly experienced and very knowledgeable because it’s pretty obvious he doesn’t know a lot about the issues,” McConnell told Bloomberg. “You see that in the debates in which...
