What the world needs now…

Wonder how the election would go if the entire world could vote?  Well, you should have guessed there is a website for just such a thing.

Is the Maranatha Chapel of Harlan, IN violating the tax code because they are certainly liars

via acdpblog
A sign of the time perhaps? Apparently the Maranatha Chapel in Harlan, Indiana is carrying the following message on their church sign.
“Do You Want a Muslim For Your President?”
Whoever (or is that whomever) could they be talking about? In all seriousness, many religious, non-profit and tax-exempt organizations have a lot of political activities. And we [...]

Dobson’s Fib Factory

I found this column on 365gay.com. I know Andy has blogged about this blithering idiot before, so I thought I would point this out. Dobson is getting inducted into the radio hall of fame.

I need to declare a media moratorium…

…Because if I don’t, I sometimes accidentally see lackwits like this woman:

After I watched it, I really, really hoped it was some kind of parody. This idiot woman was so santimonious, so stupid, so unwilling to take any sort of personal responsibility for her actions, that she would judge her husband for voting for someone [...]

Bumblin’ ‘n stumblin’

I’ve always considered myself an agile surfer, or at least a blind man in the dark.  You should have seen me find any book you wanted in the library back in the good ol’ days when you had to use the card catalog and shuffle intuitively through cards and shelves for your holiest of grails.  [...]

A Change is Gonna Come

Seal released a timely new video cover of the 60’s civil rights theme of Sam Cooke’s, “A Change is Gonna Come.”
For you freethinkers, there is a great agnostic line in the lyrics: “It’s been too hard living, but I’m afraid to die. I don’t know what’s up there beyond the sky.”
Here is today’s up-to-date polling [...]

At least we don’t live in Texas

Our “atheist prophet”, PZ Myers, posted a really great video about the Texas State School Board, and where many of the candidates stand on teaching evolution and creationism to children in schools. Needless to say, it’s not looking good. Republican Gail Lowe, running for re-election to the board, says she will never support the adoption [...]

Eddie Tabash on the U.S. Presidential election, and secular values voters

American Constitutional and Civil Rights Lawyer
If you missed CFI’s Point of Inquiry podcast this week, you missed a great talk with Eddie Tabash. Eddie Tabash is a constitutional and civil rights lawyer, as well as chair of Americans United For Separation of Church and State’s National Legal Committee (a position he has held for over [...]
