Roommate's gone back home for the weekend. Pantless party at my place. I hope for her sake she calls before she comes back to St. Louis.
I've been trying to coax an article out of my dissertation defense, which is what I was doing all morning (sort of). But I'm having a problem keeping focused. Some of my concerns about skepticism, however, are seeping into my scholarship and are distracting
Ohio's very own Punchline is getting some media coverage today after he made an ass out of himself in an interview and, so the story goes, Geraldo (I could not watch because I do not have cable). I have not seen the Geraldo interview, but hope to find it somewhere. Any leads would be appreciated.

I seem to have a lot of traffic interested in Dave Daubenmire today, so as a public service, I am going to put up a bunch of links that have been inspired by and discuss Dave Daubenmire. These are not safe for work. Or home. Or anywhere, really. What I'm saying is...RUN!
Ex-coach Dave Daubenmire: This one is just for me... (My favorite, with a link to his son's story...)

Every so often, when I'm in the mood, I like to reflect on some of the searches that have led people to this site, as reported by sitemeter. Seriously, I compile them like every day. Someone stop me!!!!

Recently, I changed my personal email address to gmail, and before I even figured out how to log in, my mailbox had been bombed with spam offering 2 products: fake watches and a bigger dick. Now as someone who has intimate relations with his mother tongue on a daily basis, I just had to read the pitches.

This is the bit where I discuss Answers in Genesis failure to understand basic, popular science.

As I watched Marky "Mark" Wahlburg in Planet of the Apes, my thoughts turned, as a young man's often do, to Ken Ham, who looks like Dr. Cornelius. Anyway, I learned that Ham has a blog, and I can get a daily infusion of goof right into my bloodstream.
I usually glance at PZ's Pharyngula blog. It comes through on the scienceblogs.com feeds, and I like it. He even linked to me once, which was

Animala, may Shatner's merciful waffles fill her belly, came back today from a trip to the store with a little hand vacuum Dirt Devil. We are in the process of moving to a new apartment down the hall, an apartment about 150% bigger than the one we're in now and we need to do some serious cleaning here.
The instructions were written at about Ray Comfort level and are truly baffling at times:

...has been difficult tonight. It's been a nice, relaxing evening, all things considered. I've been playing a lot, and by a lot I mean a lot, of the video game Rome: Total War, which is a lot like the board game Risk, but a lot more complicated. It also has tiny little guys in togas wandering around the board killing each other. It's the world's most addictive game, I think.
I wanted to
I'm tired of Howse, quite frankly. Unless something else happens, this will be my last post. And you know what, I don't really have to worry about him. For all his bluster about how he was felt sorry for Barnes and Noble pissing off the wrong guy, how he was going to mobilize 1% of the country (3 million was his number), when you look at the national impact that his jihad against the weenis
How bad is it at Barnes and Noble that fundie wackjob Brannon Howse feels he must boycott B&N? I mean, it's not like I can't go to the one near my place and check it out. I had some time to kill before a doctor's appointment and stopped off at the Ladue Crossing B&N to see what all the fuss was about. I will routinely spend long periods of time at a Barnes and Noble, so this was just peachy.
Man, I must come across as such a grumpy man-bitch on this blog. Well, if nothing else it's therapeutic.
When the above headline from Answers in Genesis showed up in my woo aggregator (bloglines), and I read the teaser...There is a great need in the church to train Christians to be more discerning about biblical truths—and not let those who espouse naturalistic science prompt them to
As part of my ongoing series of posts about Brannon Howse's very public self-humiliation, I thought that I briefly give you a sample of what completely unabashed bigotry that he put on the on record in the Twin Cities Star-Tribuneo on 9 Sept 2000. Brannon says that he didn’t want people of, to use a phrase redolent of 1950s suburbia, “a certain type” moving into his neighborhood: Brannon Howse,
This is the latest post about Brannon Howse's regrettably public existence. You know Brannon, right? He's the guy whose "son" "found" a "porno book" "lying open" in a "Barnes and Noble" and was "horrified" by the "man love" depicted therein. He also "happens" to be "running" for "mayor" of "Rat's Ass, TN," which is "in no way" related to his "misguided crusade" against "reality." He also runs
Brannon Howse could not be here today. He's probably out picketing the public library, what with their evil "access to anti-biblical information" and all. I'm doing Brannon the favor of fielding the letters that his fellow committed wackjobs have sent him regarding his misguided crusade on common sense, that Barnes and Noble does not need to cater exclusive to sexually repressed and
As you know, even as we speak, Brannon Howse is frantically pouring through thousands and thousands of pornographic books, looking for ones that don't meet his personal standard of morality. Because he has this important porn to attend to, I'm picking up the slack and answering his emails for him. You're welcome, Brannon.
Tonight's edition of "Dear Brannon Howse" comes from a person named "J."
Some people think fast. I think in slow motion, sometimes only completing a coherent thought, oh, a few days after it began. You think I'm kidding. But this evening, I was reflecting on Brannon Howse's correspondence from Loony Land, also known collectively as "the Rochester Letters." They illustrate an important principle. That, on the whole, even bitchy flibbertigibbets have to go out of
You know, I've always, since about 5 minutes ago, wanted to be an advice columnist, especially now that Brannon and Penis Prevention Brigade at Worldview Weekend have started to solicit stories about...what exactly? Barnes and Noble. Basically, he's telling people to go look at porn and then tell him stories about it.
Brannon is a busy guy, what with the black helicopters chasing him and,
A few weeks ago, I was contacted by a reporter from Phoenix (Megan Irwin) who was hunting down leads for a story about the absolutely not-a-psychic Allison Dubois, about whom I've posted in the past. The article she was writing came out today. Yay!
It's called:
"There's no good proof the real Medium, Allison DuBois, has ever cracked a case, but her fans don't care"
Ain't that the depressing
This is a very special edition of the CrAzY CrEaTiOnIsT NeWs, a feature where I examine, from a layman's perspective, the science news of the day that the folks at Answers in Genesis have failed to understand. But before I start, I want to give a shout out to the Ben, Flavin and Dmitri from the Wash U physics department. (Physicists do it with uniform harmonic motion, baby!) We showed those
Tonight I am venturing out of my wee little apartment to have a beer with the blokes from Gateway Skepticism at Cicero's in the Loop at 8:00 PM. Animala will be coming with me. I'm a big guy (not tall), will be wearing a "Guinness" baseball cap and a black short-sleeved shirt. I have not yet decided if I will be wearing pants.

This is a reply to Hugh Hewitt, who wrote about the Guantanamo ruling that detainees in Guantanamo have a right to challenge their detention in US civilian courts, that habeas corpus applies to everyone.
Fuck. You. With bells on. He begins:

Maybe it's just me, but have teenagers always had sort of a...sophomoric sense of humor? I knew a kid who pissed in the hot sauce at a Steak & Shake. I know someone else who glued a teacher to his chair and took a joyride in a handicapped priest's motorized wheelchair. You should have seen the gigantic snow penis that we once made on my high school's campus.

Tornado Damages Buildings at Kansas State U.
By Kate Moser
Kansas State University cancelled classes today after a tornado whipped through the campus overnight, damaging buildings and leaving downed power lines and debris.
The storm damaged a building that houses the university’s nuclear research reactor, though Kansas State told federal regulators
This came from the Binge and Purge University. Now, I do not know who this "Mister" Jihad is. He sounds rather loathsome and prospectless and I seem to get a lot of his discouraging mail. I do know a "Dr. Jihad," however, who is happily employed.
Dear Mr. Jihad:

Brannon Howse is apparently thinking about (heehee) running for office in Collierville, TN! I wet my pants a little from laughing so much. Ah!
HAHAHHAHA!
Sorry. He's a serious candidate....HAHAHAHAHAHA!
So, according to commercialappeal.com, a digital rag out of Memphis, on May 23, the Shelby County Election Commission starting filling requests for petitions to run for mayor of
One of the reasons that I'm so pissed off this week about Brannon Howse's misguided attack on Barnes and Noble, is because Howse is usually off the radar at Worldview Weekend. I mean, his name is all over the damned website, but he rarely writes.
Perhaps we should have seen this particular bizarre action of his coming. When his book One Nation Under Man? came out (the sequel to his Tight
