- hmm i like the idea bout getting fat kids to exercise...
- Until I saw the following youtube of Palin's announcement, I had assumed that Palin was motivated by money and that she was going to go on the talk-circuit to rake in lots of cash like Ann Coulter. That way, she could buy lots of fancy clothes, which she got accustomed to during the campaign. That was before I saw the...
- Here is a phenomenal article on the MJ tragedy. If all of her facts are correct (i.e. the suit over his pharmacy bills), this is definitely the best article I've read. The issue of his "made-to-order" children is a big one, and when you look at it from the perspective of his likely not being approved to adopt through...
- Dan: That comedic ridicule of homeopathy is spot on.
- Oh no! Two adults lying bed bed together who aren't married???? That's just terrible to the church! Priests MOLESTING LITTLE BOYS, THOUGH...... that's perfectly alright!!!! F--k the Catholic Church! They are no arbitor of morality!
- I've read quite a bit of Feynman: His autobiographical sketches ("Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman" and "What Do You Care What Other People Think?"), his books on Quantum Electrodynamics ("Q.E.D.") and personal philosophy ("The Meaning of it All"), and even the critical biography "Genius" by James Gleick.I had not pre...
- Here's an undiluted video dose of Brit-snark at homeopathy:
- Lord knows what the truth is. Mrs Palin's the most acutely obtuse politician I've ever encountered. But if it's about a 2012 run I don't think bailing out of her first term as governor is much of an advertisement for her perseverance or courage under pressure.Whatever it is, something tells me we haven't seen the last ...
- I dunno, Erich; I suspect she does hope to run for POTUS in 2012. Anyhoo, that's the resignation theory I'm partial to.Consider this: According to Todd Purdum's Vanity Fair article, she surrounds herself with family and loyalists and can't seem to take advice or criticism. Purdum writes:"More than once in my travels...
- Feynman's video presentation was beautiful, humble and insightful. Terrific stuff.
- What's REALLY going on here? There's GOT to be more to this story than Palin lets on. There's rumors of a criminal investigation out there. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/07/03/sarah-palin-out-of-politi_n_225619.htmlI can't believe that Palin thinks she has a chance to be President in 2012 (one of the rumors f...
- Stacy: I think you're right about the secrecy with Scientology. If they are not willing to simply put their beliefs on the table to be freely judged, it raises many red flags. Here's another distinction, though. The ends justify the means, at least to an extent. I don't believe in pregnant virgins, resurrections ...
- There is more where that came from: "No Ordinary Genius", a two part BBC documentary in the "Horizon" series. It's on YouTube in 10 segments starting here.
- Erich, I know a lot of atheists have asked Coyne's question. It's a good one; but I have to say that, yes, on the whole I do respect Judaism, Christianity, and Islam more. That's not to say that I respect everything about those religions--I emphatically don't----But I think it's apparent that humans evolved to respec...

- The story of Xenu is covered in OT III, part of Scientology’s secret “Advanced Technology” doctrines taught only to advanced members who have undergone many expensive hours of auditing and reached the state of Clear. It is described in more detail in the accompanying confidential “Assists” lecture of October 3, 1968 a...
- The PBS program "American Masters" last night ran a documentary about Garrison Keillor, "The Man on the Radio with the Red Shoes". During the program Keillor made a statement which I which I would like to quote, but lacking a transcript, I doubt I could accurately recall from memory, however I will attempt to paraphra...
- Elaine Shannon reports that "Yale researchers may have solved a fundamental medical mystery: how bisphenol A (BPA), a ubiquitous plastics component, changes genetic chemistry and impairs fertility."http://www.huffingtonpost.com/elaine-shannon/yale-scientists-discover_b_221518.html
How incredibly depressing it is to see all that information together in one place like that. And how helpless we are to stop it.
If ever there were a case of “high crimes and misdemeanors,” this has to be it. Indeed, a compelling case of treason could be made against the Bush/Cheney cabal.
