Saturday, May 17th, 2008I don’t think I made my point very clearly in my last post on the subject, hence Mike’s response.
Contra Ned, it doesn’t look like a significant difference to me either, particularly because that sounds precisely like how a lot of atheists (including, more or less, myself) feel about the, er, “unattainable secrets of the harmony […]
JuanWay Update
Saturday, May 17th, 2008Just got back a little while ago from helping some of the other JuanWay passengers rip out the seats on the inside of the bus. Eventually, those seats are going to be replaced with beds. And once all the other modifications to the interior of the bus are done, the next big thing is painting […]

Einstein’s God
Thursday, May 15th, 2008(This post was supposed to go up yesterday, but the Internet erased most of it before I had a chance to publish. Damn Internet.)
So apparently, Hillary Clinton won West Virginia last night. THIS CHANGES THE WHOLE DYNAMIC OF THE RACE.
Seriously though, moving along - Amanda Marcotte is very excited at the possibility that Albert Einstein […]
Reviews of Movies You’ve Already Seen
Thursday, May 15th, 2008JUNO (OR: The Four Stages of Grief as Applied to a Movie I Really Wanted to Like But Didn’t)
1. DENIAL: “This is pretty good! Ellen Page is excellent, and the dialogue is delightfully quirky!”
2. ANGER: “Wait a minute, did a character just seriously say, ‘Oh my blog?’ What the hell?”
3. DEPRESSION: “Jesus Christ, the whole […]
Home
Tuesday, May 13th, 2008Sorry for the lack of postage over the last several days. Moving back home from college is a chore. But now I’m here. Posting will resume…ish, but it’ll probably be scaled back what with having a job and having other things to do now that I’m back.
Incidentally, I know first-hand as a Cracked.com contributing writer […]
A new politics
Saturday, May 10th, 2008I swear to god - I voted for Obama once already and I’m planning on doing so again in November, but sometimes it seems like his new politics is just like the old politics except even dumber.
After the event, an Obama spokesperson indicated that that the senator’s campaign had no intention of pushing the Keating […]
Nixonlandland
Saturday, May 10th, 2008I haven’t read Rick Perlstein’s Nixonland - I really want to, but it’s one book in a very, very long list of books to read - but George Will’s negative review makes me want to read it more. I’m willing to admit that part of that is immaturity on my part - if Will doesn’t […]
Bah humbug
Thursday, May 8th, 2008If anyone was wondering what the proper way to commemorate Israel’s 60th birthday is, apparently it involves taking over Washington Square Park and blasting godawful 80’s pop so that it becomes very difficult to study in neighboring buildings. Leave strained analogies to Middle Eastern politics in the comments.
The most charitable possible interpretation
Thursday, May 8th, 2008Hillary Clinton and Terry McAuliffe stared at the TV screen, dismayed. The numbers had just come in for Indiana, and it wasn’t looking good.
“Well,” Hillary sighed, “I guess that’s it, then.”
Terry slumped back down into his seat and ran a hand through his hair. He couldn’t believe that it was finally coming to a close.
“Terry,” […]
