ICP’s still around? WTF?

Insane Clown Posse was a group that was wildly popular when I was in 8th grade or so (well over a decade ago, now). They were mostly popular because it was something our parents hated. Their songs were full of drug refrences, cursing and all manner of evil like that. They were kind of my [...]

Tom Short: Still an Asshole

Even the worst people among us think they’re good people. Tom Short is a great example of this. In his blog, he responds to a group of FSU students who rightfully point out that he once compared a woman he knew to be Jewish to Hitler because she was pro-choice. I now felt we had [...]

LOL…you’re so cute. :)

So y’all are familiar with the New-Age movement where any old bullshit is accepted and respected as a religion, right? Well, some of these loonies think the world’s going to end in 2012 based only on the misinterpretation of a Mayan Calandar. Okay…so there’s a Facebook Group called ‘Shut Up, The World Won’t End in [...]

An Open Letter to the Iowa State Legislature

There has been an antievolution bill introduced in my home state. Today, you are faced with a choice. In Iowa, we have always prided ourselves on our educational system. A bill currently in the legislature threatens to take that away. I am, of course referring to House File 183, the so-called academic freedom bill. These [...]

Back in a bit…but for now, bugs in the news!

Yeah…sorry I haven’t kept up with the bug-blogging as of late. Had a few things going on in my life…but I dare not turn this into a ‘bitch-about-my-life’ blog. There are far too many of those and quite frankly, my strifes aren’t that interesting. So…let’s go through some of the news that’s been brewing since [...]

I’m not too happy with Graham Lawton of New Scientist right now…

see more pwn and owned pictures I’m not even going to pretend that I read everything what pops up in popular science. My exposure to pop-sci articles consists largely of stumbling into the Iowa State University bookstore and thumbing through the science magazines, usually after I look at the pretty women in fashion magazines. I’m [...]

Those poor, persecuted religous folks

PZ Myers of Pharyngula already did a post about this insane top ten list of supposed persecution from the Christian News Wire. Most of it’s pretty much made up bullshit or completely blown out of proportion, but there’s something that I’m surprised he missed because it’s a hell of a lot worse than any of [...]

If only Chuck was as intellectual as he thought he was…

So who didn’t love Walker, Texas Ranger when they were ten? I sure as hell did…no point in lying about it. But as you grow up, these things lose much of their appeal. When I was in high school and middle school, you were cool if you listened to the Offspring. Nowadays, they’re like a [...]

Someone gets it right

http://www.desmoinesregister.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008812020349 In response to the Nov. 20 letter, “Religion Can Help Prevent Suicides”: I am currently working on my doctor of ministry degree. My thesis is on how the Christian faith has dealt with suicide during its history. Being religious has nothing to do with whether or not someone will die by suicide. The church [...]

Terrorists have no religion? Yeah…right.

Aamir Kahn is a pretty big star in Bollywood…which is kind of like our version of Hollywood. He’s been watching his country be torn apart by a massive terrorist attack which has so far killed about 200 people. The death toll’s gonna rise as things are cleaned up. Nobody really knows who’s behind it as [...]
