Well, now your personal (our national) nightmare is over. Today I created a page to host a gallery of the cartoons … Read More “2015 Political Cartoons Have a Home” »
Breed if you want to. Don’t breed if you don’t want to. I’m a parent. I love my kids. I wanted to have children, so I did. I know a lot of people who don’t want to have children, and they have made the wise decision to not have them. Who needs more resentful, angry, … Read More “Great Reasons to Have Kids” »
The same day that Indiana Governor Mike Pence signed a state law allowing for the discrimination against LGBT workers and customers in the name of religion, he also lifted a ban on needle exchanges in response to a serious HIV epidemic.

So to be clear, I don’t dismiss his aggressive policing of parking spaces as a contributing … Read More “Parking Space Atheists” »
This may sound crazy, but I don’t think the 2 lbs under regulation PSI for footballs is a big deal — either within the warped universe of professional football or extending outward into our ever expanding gravitationally warped universe as a whole. Rape is a big deal. Domestic violence is a big deal. Bullying is … Read More “inflated scandal” »
Following President Obama’s state of the union address on Tuesday — or really, even as it was going on, via social media — conservatives and libertarians hauled out all of their tired old arguments about big government, “why does every social problem require a federal government solution”, and other clichés. In response, liberals and progressives … Read More “Earth2 Eisenhower” »
I haven’t seen Clint Eastwood’s “American Sniper”, so I cannot rate it as a work of art. I’m more interested in the conversation … no, that’s not the word.
