One“News”Now is like the Cheese Shop. It’s certainly uncontaminated by facts. I came across one sentence today. One simple sentence in a OneNeuronNow article that so perfectly exemplifies all that is wrong with that site and the so-called “news” that they’re pushing. It’s the lead sentence in a global-warming denialism article titled “Cap-and-Trade—’Largest Tax Increase [...]

Early eugenics tract (with added observation) Using the slimy tactic of guilt by association by association, OneNeuronNow is painting Hillary Clinton as a eugenicist. According to their article “Hillary in ‘Inter-Generational Partnership’ with Eugenicist Sanger”: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has accepted an award from Planned Parenthood named after the pro-abortion group’s founder, who once [...]

The Carnival of the Godless arrived at Daylight Atheism a few days ago. Check it out if you haven’t already. It’s unusually fat this time around. I normally try to read all the articles and suggest one or two that either jump out at me as being exceptional or are related to things we’ve discussed [...]

Before he became America’s greatest poet, Dr. Seuss was a political cartoonist. This cartoon applies just as much today (maybe more so?) than it did then.

I went over to OneNeuronNow (motto: If we were any less credible, we’d be Fox News) to look for some fundie opinion masquerading as a news report. The very first thing I saw was a Republican lie masquerading as a news report. OK. That’ll do. Apparently the Republicans don’t want to return to the Eisenhower [...]

Terry Pratchett’s turtle non-problem I’ve been reading some of the articles over at Robert Madewell’s blog, Superstition Free. They’re pretty good, so I added him to the blogroll. Pay him a visit. One of his articles reminded me of the Turtle Problem. The anecdote itself is apparently apocryphal. Wikipedia quotes a good version from Stephen [...]

I try not to make too many off-topic posts. Every now and then, something freakin’ sweet comes along that appeals to one of my biases (such as puns and dirigibles), so I make an exception. Here’s another. The photo above is from a story in the Daily Mail a few months ago about surfing rats. [...]

…it just smells. I haven’t posted in a few days. I hope to put up an article tonight. In the meantime, “enjoy” this riotously funny fundie comic: Ironically (since we evolved from fish), this Darwin fish can honestly say to these boys: “I am your father!”
