Tonight

De Schmog was great...
the bass and drums were loud,
mari pool sounded awesome...
they were funky, and funny,
and fun...

"better luck
better luck next time
john hinckley..."

just maybe...

it is not about atheism, or reptilians...
maybe it is about the monks.

everything is sound...

this about sums it up...

Icke on Wogan

Just finished watching "David Icke - Was He Right?" and had to track this one down...
Wogan tries to get him to the reptiles knowing he won't give him any time to really explain,
just enough to sound ridiculous...
which puts his apology at the beginning in a different light...

"Pop Atheism" might include popular atheist TV and movie characters, professional athletes, political figures, etc. Look for the first billion-dollar IPO for the Web service that gets atheists together for "rituals," dating and political and business networking.


talk about wishful thinking...
Do Penn & Teller count as popular tv characters?

anyway, that bit was from the editor of edge.org
which I am browsing right now...
great atheist resource!

ah hah!

here's to being manipulated by the media machine:

Hello world! Welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere!

I am so excited to have my very own page, even if the circumstances are a bit troubling. As you know, Veronica and I have started these blogs because we’re fighting a MAKEOVER planned for us by the Archie Comics Corporate Office. We don’t really know HOW we’re going to fight this change, all I DO KNOW is that we’ll need your help! We’ll keep you posted as we get a bit more organized…

I know just what you mean...

Via Howling Curmudgeons:

In the old Dungeons and Dragons someone once wrote an aritcle about paladins. In it the article contemplated various situations in which a paladin would be forced to kill innocents or the like in a game scenario and ended up saying that a good dungeon master would avoid putting the paladins into such situations to begin with.

Saying that Sue Dibny's getting raped was a bad idea seems to be a criticism on that level. The wife of a leaguer getting raped is simply a situation which should never come up, and since the writers get to make this stuff up, they control whether it does, so they should have known it wasn't a good idea regardless of the skill with which it could be handled and never addressed the scenario in the first place. I can get behind that idea, though it seems to implicate a set of assumptions I would worry about artically. After all, there is a good reason not to publish a comic book wherein a baby is put in a microwave, Kyle Baker as writer or not.

RIP - James Brown
