My Recent Activity

Re: New Missouri billboard tells Americans to ‘prepare for war’ against the government. (in Political Junkies) Don't we have laws against advocating treason.

If some liberal had posted a similar billboard during the Cheney/Bush administration the far right would have demanded a public execution.

Re: It never ends (in Ren Faire History Snobs) besides every one knows that I was in the Tardis with the Doctor when I lost my personal copy of the "Complete Works" - First Folio.

Re: Two Famous Debunkings (in Paranormal Research) This is one of my favorites.

The Pigasus Awards for 2008 have been announced.

They include such luminaries as:

Category #1: To the scientist or academic who said or did the silliest thing related to the supernatural, paranormal or occult:

Dr. Colin Ross, a psychiatrist in Texas. He is a lettered man, having published many articles in peer-reviewed journals, and you might think he would be the last person to earn a Pigasus... until you look a bit deeper.

That intellectual giant Jenny McCarthy is the latest to use her celebrity status to foist dangerous ideas on a gullible public.

On January 20, we launched our new version. Early tests of the newly installed program indicate that we are now operating correctly.

We sincerely apologize for the ... read more

I make this a separate entry because the thoughts Iwish to express are so contrary to that post - even contrary to how I feel at the moment.

Our nightmare ends today.

The Bush presidency will go down as perhaps the greatest failed presidency in history.

As I write the neo cons and the far right pundits attempt to re-write history.

They are using phrases like "The Obama Recession" and "The Bush Recovery Plan".

It wont work.

It wont work because Bush is not a failure for the t... read more
