Today’s anti-science object of my scorn is William Saletan, the author of Bearing Right: How Conservatives Won the Abortion War, and who, in a new Slate article, Winning Smugly, is pompously warning President Obama, and by extension the American people, that while we may have won the stem cell “battle”, we’re in danger of losing [...]

Hunter S. Thompson once wrote that, “when the going gets weird, the weird turn pro”, and so it was when six members of the hate-addled, military funeral desecrating, lawsuit-happy Westboro Baptist “Church” traveled to Chicago to vocalize their own special brand of batshittery. They were met by over a hundred UChicago counter-protesters who were anxious to exercise [...]

As I watched President Obama lift Dubya’s ideologically driven ban on stem cell research funding live on CNN in a far away airport, I was once again truly thankful that the American people elected an intelligent (and sober!) centrist as our President. A group of eminent scientists and campaigners were there to witness the reversal:
“I [...]

Those Euro Commies have a long history of making children’s TV programs that encourage intelligent, youthful thought and socially responsible living, like Sportacus in Iceland, Blue Peter in Britain, and the various Scandinavian shows which discuss topics such as ethics, pollution, global deforestation, animal welfare, etc.
It’s a pity we don’t have something comparable here, but [...]

I have often found the Creationist movement willfully ignorant. It’s the same “la-la-la, I can’t hear you” numpty emanating from the anti-vaccine crowd. Or the 9/11 Truther idiots, and assorted other conspiracy morons who believe in “chemtrails”, UFOs, the supremacy of the “Elders of Zion”, or that Laetrile cures cancer (and the nameless yet omnipresent “they” are trying to prevent [...]

Wow, you know you’re plumbing subterranean depths of humiliation when even the gentle, animal loving LOLCats community at I Can Haz Cheesburger are making fun of you.
And I thought getting smacked down by Cuban-American CNN anchor, Rick Sanchez, live on camera was embarrassing…
Perhaps it makes me a bad Christian, but few things warm and gladden my heart quite like listening to Freepers wail to no benefit.

Gentle reader, as I have stated before, it is my considered opinion that Tom Friedman talks out of his ass with regard to the Middle East. After all, merely visiting the region occasionally doesn’t make one an expert on the area, any more than shopping at Williams Sonoma makes one a great chef. Friedman’s disturbingly popular books and [...]

It sometimes seems to me that both the Iranian and Israeli right-wing nutbags have the same speech writers (motto: “low-low prices and deranged, inflammatory rhetoric a specialty!”). To defend that statement in an admittedly half-assed way, I present the Prudence Dogood vs Shouty Nutbags, prosecution’s exhibit A:

The burning-cross-loving mullahs at the American Family Association have a new fat-waah for you, and this one claims that the seemingly innocuous Campbell’s soup has “joined the ranks of gay activists in the culture war”.
I hate to sound judgmental, AFA people, but there’s actual war going on right now, with far more important implications than the [...]

In a bid to make even Bush apologists and Holocaust deniers look bad, David Frum has written this regarding the dead and wounded children of Gaza in the perma-stoopid National Review:
“And the casualties are disproportionate: Hamas has arranged it that way. If necessary, sympathetic photographers take pictures of children who pretend to be injured, and once [...]
Have you ever wondered why some people yap on and on about “tradition”, as if in the dim and murky past, there had existed a world in which slavery, beating your wife, periodic pogroms, and stoning your neighbour for mowing his lawn on the Sabbath led to Utopia?
Like this halfwit:
“The Left are so quick to [...]
