There is a feeding frenzy regarding Sarah Palin out there. It's intense and disorienting. It's also disquieting. Palin seems like a pleasant woman who would make a nice neighbor. But since when are people qualified to be Vice-President just because they are "nice"? Tonight I started seeing many comments that…
We've had a long comment aside in the Iridium Layer post about whether a Young Earth might be proven if one assumes that all isotopes "age" faster under water at some depth. Let's consider some of the repercussions if this were Truth instead of fantasy: Nuclear waste would not be…
Why should we ask John McCain harsh questions? Because we need to even the playing field. You see, if Barack Obama had McCain’s background, ignorance and bad character, the election would have been over months ago. The news media is holding back, though.

Why is your smile so creepy and fake?
Do you really believe that the President of the U.S. virtually functions as a dictator?
General Character Deficits…
As with many rationalists, I've always assumed that Atheism and Rationalism were intertwined. But recently I conversed with an ardent atheist who believes in reincarnation. Suddenly I realized that Atheism is not commutative: Rationalism generally leads to atheism, but not vice-versa. One can deeply believe that there is no sky-daddy,…
