Hardly a day goes by when Michelle "Little Lulu" Malkin doesn’t write something incredibly duplicitious or illogical. Yesterday was no exception: One of the pro-abortion Left’s favorite attacks on people of faith is that we only care about children before they’re born and not afterwards. Hint to Malkin: linking to a Google search (search=anti-abortion+only+care+about+children+before+they+are+born) is pretty lame to begin with, … Read More
A Rant Against Idiocy
PZ Myers has had it up to here with the morons on the religious right who continue to — well, lie — about evolution out of either (a) intentional ignorance or (b) cognitive dissonence: I know what some people are thinking: just don’t call them "stupid" or a "moron", it distracts from the scientific argument. Of course it does; but … Read More
“Why wasn’t letting Schiavo die a Christian option, too?”
It’s a damn fine question, asked by (among many others) the Rev. Frederick Schmidt, an Episcopal priest and theologian at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, according to this wonderful article in the St. Petersburg Times: "I think the religious right is captive to a medical, scientific description of life that equates merely to survival," said Schmidt, director of spiritual life … Read More

Terri and the GOP
Finally finally finally it looks like Terri Schiavo is going to slip quietly into the great beyond, as she wished. As I would wish for myself. As most would wish for themselves. By refusing to give the Schindlers yet another bite at yet another apple, repeating the same arguments already heard, the “little Eichmans” (as wackos on the Christian right … Read More

Dr. Cheshire Cat
Jeb Bush has found a neurologist who claims that Terri Schiavo’s diagnosis ha been wrong all these years. He claims that Terri, rather than being in a "persistent vegetative state", is actually in what the medical profession calls a "minimal conscious state". That doctor’s name is Dr. Cheshire. Let’s take a look at him, shall we? Perhaps one place to … Read More
Thoughts Of A Dreamer
Here is the blog of Jeff Weise, the 16-year-old Minnesota high school gunman who killed nine people before committing suicide. And if you really want to look into his disturbed mind, visit The Smoking Gun to view Weise’s self-made Flash animation. Screen captures from that animation are below:
Moblogging A Rainbow
So I was driving to rehearsal last night and there was a tornado warning but instead of a tornado, there was this amazing rainbow, so I took my cell phone and took a picture of it (through the windshield and rain while driving) and sent it to this blog. Technology is cool, but nature is cooler.
Full Eleventh Circuit To Terri’s Parents: No
Another victory for Terri in a 24 hour span. The vote was 10-2. And this is a conservative appellate court. I feel bad for the parents, but hopefully all these NEW courts going against them will help them to come to grips with reality. UPDATE: It’s not clear from the press reports whether the full appellate court affirmed the appellate … Read More

South Determined To Stay Ignorant
This really takes the cake. Showing of an IMAX volcano film is being denied by IMAX theaters in the South because it suggests that observable similarities occur between the DNA of species Buzzelli said while the Charleston theater doesn’t rule out showing "Volcanoes of the Deep Sea" in the future, she considers people’s religious views when showing films. The film … Read More
Schiavo Latest
Actually, there is remarkably little to say. The debate rages on, and the debate about the debate rages on. Meanwhile, the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals panel affirmed the lower court’s decision to replace the feeding tube, and the Schindlers are now appealing to the full panel of the 11th Circuit. The next stop after that, and probably the last … Read More
