Christianity is a religion of, supposedly, love. The love of god (and if you don’t love him back in the right way, he will sentence you to an eternity torment. The love of children (and you can even let them starve while waiting for god to provide). The love towards one’s enemy (specifically, Christians would love them to die). Read the rest of this entry ?

A Strange Family Conversation
6 July, 2009At dinner this evening (homemade pizza with sun-dried tomato sauce, fresh buffalo mozzarella, pepperoni, and Reggiano Parmesan with fresh basil), we realized just why it is that right-wing evangelicals think they can get away with adultery: Read the rest of this entry ?
A Strange Combination of Bumper Stickers
29 June, 2009I just got back from the grocery store. While walking across the parking lot, I almost got run over by a large SUV (no, Sarge, it probably was not the one gunning for you). It had an odd combination of bumper stickers on the back: Read the rest of this entry ?
Is Federal Funding for Abstinence-Only-Sex-Education Done For?
11 May, 2009Over the past year, I have been a frequent critic of Abstinence-Only-Sex Education. The main reason? it does not work.

Is the GOP a Cult?
10 May, 2009I ran across this at the International Cultic Studies Association (I was looking for Celtic Studies) about (go figure) cults. And as I read the warning signs of a cult, I realized, “Holy batshit, fatman: The GOP’s a cult.” Don’t believe me? Read the rest of this entry ?
Voter Fraud in Kentucky
20 March, 2009The Republicans Set Up Obama
4 February, 2009For the past quarter-century, by Presidential decree, it has been illegal to carry loaded concealed guns in America’s National Park sites (which include National Parks, Monuments, Historic Sites, Historical Sites, Rivers, Scenic Rivers, Seashores, Lakeshores, etc.). This rule, revamped under the Reagan administration (ya’ll remember Reagan, right? the darling of the neoconservative movement? the patron saint of conservatism?) said that it was legal to have firearms in National Parks as long as they were stowed properly and unloaded. However, under pressure from the NRA, the Bush administration pushed through, visitors to our National Parks can now carry loaded, concealed firearms (they are still not allowed to take them into federal buildings, such as visitor centers).

Republican Voting and Death
17 December, 2008The Republican Party has, for the past several election cycles, become a regional party based primarily in the intermountain west (Montana, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming, parts of Colorado and Arizona) and the evangelical south (Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North and South Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky and Missouri). This map shows it pretty clearly:
Two Truly Bizarre Bumper Stickers
23 November, 2008I stopped off this morning to get fuel ($2.05.9 a gallon (which shows just how bad our economy is right now)). The BMW X5 SUV in front of me had two rather scary bumper stickers. The first said:
Vote For The Hand That Rocks The Cradle: Palin 2012
And the second:
Let The Hand That Rocks The Cradle Rock America: Vote Palin! Read the rest of this entry ?
