Science Geeks, Fire Up Your Browsers and Stock Up the Dew!
When I was a kid, I used to love leafing through my Dad’s old collection of Popular Science magazines. He didn’t have quite as many of them as he did National Geographic, but he had more than plenty to keep a curious Science Geek in Training busy for many hours*. I got away from PopSci [...]
If the President Quits Smoking, How Will He Make Smoke-Filled Backroom Deals?
I feel a bit bad that the President has been given the directive by his doctor to quite smoking(no word if he tried to remove the President’s tonsils for a littke extra coin). It seems to have forced him to move his shady deals from the normal backrooms filled with deadly cigarette smoke to right out in [...]
Ben Pershing and the Washington Post Need to Retract Their Lie
The amount of journalistic dishonesty on display in the Jim Bunning Kicks Puppies and Unemployed People story is galling. Over and over again, MSM outlets have reported that the Senator opposed extending unemployment benefits, wanted to put government employees out on the street, or wanted to deny medical payments to hard-working physicians. None of those [...]

By now you’ve probably heard how Kentucky Senator Jim Bunning is singlehandedly dooming hundreds of thousands of people to starvation and perhaps even death by roving packs of wild hyenas because he won’t allow the sweet, kindhearted, rules-following Democrats to help America. The Democrats want to spend a paltry $15 billion, pocket change, really, on extended [...]
Angels Land in Haiti
My friend Tabitha Hale left last night on a trip to help a relief effort in Haiti. She’ll be working out of a town called Jacmel with the Joy in Hope Ministries for the next few days. She does have internet access and will be sending back pictures and blog posts as she can. Her [...]
If I Were A Rich Man…
I have another post up at News Real Blog, the subject of which is a column by New York Times drama critic turned professional ninny Frank Rich. I should probably have been nicer to him, except that he decided to attack my friends. I realize that Rich probably doesn’t know anyone in the Tea Party [...]
Hide the Cyclone!
The science is unsettled. Research by hurricane scientists may force the UN’s climate panel to reconsider its claims that greenhouse gas emissions have caused an increase in the number of tropical storms. The benchmark report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) said that a worldwide increase in hurricane-force storms since 1970 was probably [...]
