For when the body politic gets wild!
The Freedom From Religion Foundation is taking the Internal Revenue Service to court over its failure to enforce electioneering restrictions against churches and religious organizations, calling it a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment and of FFRF’s equal protection rights. FFRF filed the lawsuit today in U.S. District Court for the […]
Very very curious to see Showtime’s new series Polyamory. Of course there are so many ways to structure relationships, and of course a reality show about poly folks is going to have to sensationalize it. But after Sister Wives and Big Love I’m excited to see a portrayal of non-traditional relationship structures minus the religion. […]
Oh North Carolina. You exhaust me. I am cynical enough that I wasn’t surprised by the news that North Carolina voted for an amendment to their state constitution to ban same sex marriage. As if their law banning it wasn’t enough. Better make it double secret safe. If you have to defend it that hard, […]
My favorite kind of science is the “duh” science. Usually people make fun of it, because the published findings have titles like “Water makes you wet.” or “Hungry people like food.” Sure you can laugh, but without someone going out and doing this basic science, its impossible to move on to more complicated and advanced […]

You know I really didn’t like “Princess Diaries”, but after seeing “Love and Other Drugs” and this, I am really starting to like Anne Hathaway. With Rick Santorum once again “surging” (headline writers have to understand the pun they are making right…right?!) it looks like the republicans are going to, once again, drag out the […]
In what seems like an unending serious of WTF moments in our nation, a bunch of Catholics are upset because they are going to be forced to cover birth control in health care they give their employees To be clear, Churches are exempt, but Catholic charities, hospitals, etc. will have to offer the coverage. More […]
While I’m not the biggest fan of Penn Jillette, he breaks it down pretty good here. Share
I have been increasingly frustrated by the right wing “pro-life” religious forces in this country. I understand their imaginary friend wrote a book and that book tells them a bunch of nonsense. I am a firm supporter of their right to think any crazy idea they want. In fact our country was founded on their […]
