Finally, some rational behavior

The Times is reporting actual rational behavior from a school board.  After so many boards across the country had abandoned science for superstition by allowing creationism to be taught, a Maine school will now give students access to birth control.  Hopefully they’ll serve that up with a heaping serving of sex ed.

Beware the secular future (especially if it comes from Europe)

This guy is worried that creepy European ideas about human rights will take away your right to be an idiot.  What, you don’t believe me?

Will you ride the wave, or be swept away?

There is a vast, powerful movement sweeping the world. It is a movement driven by a burning faith, a desire to conquer, dominate, and destroy that which is different. This movement promises to take us back to the Dark Ages…a Taliban that wishes to subjugate women, eliminate minorities, and bring American to its knees.

I am writing, of course, about the scourge of Christian fundamentalism. This ain’t your momma’s church. These “Dominionists” want you to come to Jesus…whether you want to or not.

What’s wrong, Dobbs, did an enchilada kill your mom?

Want to be in the same club as Pat Buchanan, Lou Dobbs, and the Klan? No problem. Just campaign in your community for laws against your neighbors.

Let the Fundies win? Never!

The Family Action Organization scares me…they should scare you, too, and give you yet another reason to get off you ass and get to work…

Ignorant World Order

So, we are living in the era of the Bush II Doctrine. What is the Bush II Doctrine? It is the doctrine of ignorance, of willful head-in-the-sand’ism, of wishful thinking, of faith over thought…

Why religion and masturbation should be treated the same way

1. It’s not polite to do either one in public.
2. Both involve unusual vocalizations and outbursts
3. Both are guilty pleasures
4. The government should have nothing to do with either one. A Masturbation Establishment Clause?
