Getting through to a Republican is very hard, as we all know. Mr. Doggity (who really should get a blog) e-mailed me the following:Republican versus Democratic thinking on climate change science:They both hear:"Studies show that four out of five dentists surveyed recommend sugarless gum for their patients who chew gum."The Democrat responds:"Hmm, seems the evidence is overwhelming that sugar can rot your teeth, so maybe I should listen to the vast majority of experts and considering changing my gum choice to save my teeth, and protect my children's teeth."The Republican responds:"Obviously, if sugar were really bad for your teeth, that fifth dentist wouldn't be holding out. I refuse to even consider that maybe he wants people to rot their teeth because he ne[...]

More Random Shitby MantoothYou have to love what a simpering corporate wasteland FM Radio has become. Look at 93.3 KTCL which prides itself on playing hard-core, alternative rock. Think Breaking Benjamin and My Chemical Romance, not the Dave Mathews Band. Anyway, emo is hot right now and Fall Out Boy was on the cover of Rolling Stone and they have a hit song, so naturally they are getting airplay. The song is “This Ain’t a Scene, It’s an Arms Race.� Except the chorus is ‘This Ain’t a Scene/It’s a Goddamn Arms Race.’ Although goddamn is not one of George Carlin’s seven words you can’t say on TV, apparently it is controversial enough for an alleged bunch of rebels like 93.3 to bleep it out of the song. Lovely. This is like country y[...]

A top aide to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales abruptly quit Friday, almost two weeks after telling Congress she would not testify about her role in the firings of federal prosecutors. Monica M. Goodling, the Justice Department's liaison to the White House, gave no reason for her resignation. And yesterday: Three lawyers in the U.S. Attorney's office in Minneapolis resigned their management posts and will return to prosecuting case. The moves come as the U.S. Justice Department is under fire for its replacement of eight U.S. attorneys last year.

When I first heard about the Blog Against Theocracy blogswarm initiated by Blue Gal, I wasn't sure what to make of it. I regularly post about the problems with theocracy, as do the majority of the atheist blogs I read. What could I do for this blogswarm that would be different from the usual?In the end, I decided that I would just do more of the same, with the difference being that I would attempt to pull some themes together from previous posts. Actually, it has been a long time since I posted directly on the topic of theocracy.What is Theocracy?Essentially, theocracy refers to the primacy of religion in government and law. A theocratic society is one in which clergy rules and in which religious law trumps secular law. When American Christians think of theo[...]

How crazy is this? We haven’t even elected a new president yet and some on the right are dusting off their “‘Impeach Clinton’ Buttons.” Dana Milbank writes about “the Right Wing Conspiracy” that is not “as Vast as it once was,” but notes that “yesterday’s steering committee meeting at the National Press Club still had [...]

The GOP is dying according to moderately “libertarian” Democrat, ex-Republican and RKBA supporter Iowa Boy at DKos. Don’t get cocky Democrats. You’re next.

Florida's Republican Governor Charlie Crist will let most ex-felons finally regain the right to vote. This addresses discrimination against African-American men, who disproportionately constituted the ex-felon population. Had this happened prior to 2000, Gore would've received far more votes, and the tens of thousands of legal African-American voters disenfranchised by the state because their names were similar to ex-felons also would have voted primarily for Gore. We'd have a different world.On the one hand, all Crist has done is partially redress a racist, human-rights deprivation. On the other hand, this will benefit the opposing party primarily, and he probably could've gotten away with doing much less. Credit where it's more or less due. Even Jeb [...]

Some of you are whining that I think Pelosi should not have gone to Syria. Well, a couple of points: The United States speaks with one voice on foreign policy, and that voice is the President’s. The President has set a “no talkâ€? policy with Syria, which Pelosi ignored despite the White House asking [...]
