I spent the last 12 hours trying to move the blog to another host. It was a miserable failure. I don’t know if the problem is WordPress (die! die! die!) or mySQL or other unknown conspirators. So the blog has not moved. I don’t think it’s possible. As of midnight, 1and1 got another quarterly payment [...]

The Evolving Mind has a tantalizing article called “Cleanliness is Next to Tolerance?” It discusses the results of a study that claims “Cleanliness Makes People Less Severe In Moral [...]

ParrotLover sent me the hilarious image above. He writes: Got an email from a fundie relative regarding the plane landing in the river. Of course I’ve heard on and on how it was actually a miracle and not pilot skill, but this picture takes the cake! I’m guessing God hates birds since he was obviously [...]

There’s some assclown named “Molotov Mitchell” (obviously a communist!) over at World Nut Daily who produces amazingly moronic videos.
