Congratulations! It's a Gun!
Brisket Palin's former sperm bank Levi Johnston and his girlfriend Sunny Oglesby just gave birth to an unplanned 6 pound 15 ounce baby gun girl. So, of course, they had to give it a gunny type name -- Breeze Beretta Johnston. I know, I know, you're thinking 'WTF,' but there's a good reason th...
Your work is pretty awesome. Glad I found it (linked over from pffugeecamp following a DKos meltdown over Mondoweiss search - I have been banned by his Z-team minions as well).
Like your band name idea. I always thought a cool name for a cover band would be the Genuine Imitations (and pronounced "jen-u-wine")
Random Portrait of the Week: Buddy Hackett
My friend and frequent GOTA contributor Bob Lizarraga and I decided to pay a little homage to the late great comedian Buddy Hackett. I always wanted to start a band called Buddy and the Hacketts, but I suppose I'll have to make due with drawing him. Medium: Image above by 14, pen and ink was...
I really enjoyed your piece. One of the things that happens a lot is that both sides can often misrepresent the other side's position, which results in useless strawman arguments. One thing that helps to spot many fallacies is to switch sides. Try making the strongest argument you can for the opposing position, and you will maybe get a better idea of fine tuning your own rebuttals.
As an atheist, I feel one's decision as to one's own god-view is intensely personal. Though theists often feel it is not a big deal, I am wholly offended by "In God We Trust" on the money because it is either a lie (*I* have no "trust" in any god or gods), or I am not included in this "We" that is on there. Theists need to explain why there should be any official government position for or against the existence of god(s) in the first place.
Atheism and the "Shut Up, That's Why" Arguments
There's something I've been noticing lately in theists' arguments against atheists. When you start paying attention, you notice how many of them aren't really arguments. And no, I'm not even talking about the "I feel it in my heart" or "'Cause the Bible tells me so" non-arguments. I'm talking ab...
Is it any wonder Muslims look at our actions in Iraq and Afghanistan as a "Crusade"?
QURANS Destroyed by US Military ... no wait
It was bibles that were destroyed, but imagine if .................. Jake Tapper over ABC has the story: Bibles Destroyed in Afghanistan... By U.S. Military (hat tip s) On May 4, Al Jazeera English ran a report suggesting that U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan may have been violating anti-proselytiz...
To me it looks as if she's just said,
"Laws are for the little people."
Jane Harman's Stolen Moments
Now the question is, if you were a photo editor on this Jane Harman scandal story, and Crowley dropped this in your lap (with the hush-hush; the swoon; the assembly line of suits, nobody paying attention, business-as-usual; and especially, Mr. Judgmental in the middle, casting the long, suspi...
