“What’s that dark matter moving line going right across the middle of the screen?”
Brought to you by the same woman who worries about what’s in her water causing rainbows in her sprinklers (wouldn’t that be the dihydrogen monoxide?!?):

One year ago today I made my first steps out into the blogosphere.
I was once asked why I started blogging and being the truthful person that I am I said “because all my friends [...]

I’m back with a little less caffeine in my system but the same passionate blogging fury to correct misconceptions about those God damned billboards that haven’t even gone up yet. My View From the Center started off their post nicely (oh, and I have to thank them for linkage too because that’s merely polite blogger [...]

Don’t believe in God? You’re not alone.
That’s all. Letting other non-believers [...]

NO SOUP EUCHARIST FOR YOU!
It turns out that you don’t need to be an Atheist and take a eucharist to bring out the eucharist-Nazi in Catholic priests. It’s bad enough for some Catholics if you voted for Obama.
A Catholic priest in South Carolina is telling his congregation to “refrain” from receiving eucharist if they voted [...]

It’s Poll-Crashing time at Pharyngula again with TheGodPoll.com. Isn’t that the most epic url since Change.gov?
Anyway, an interesting statistic has arisen from this poll question:
There you have it. 100% of people polled believe that Atheists can be ethical…

I am sitting next to Victor J. Stenger, author of God: The Failed Hypothesis (How Science Shows that God Does Not Exist). I just got my book signed too!

“President Sarcozy”
The BBC has audio from the Canadian comedian who prank-called Sarah Palin before the election pretending to be French president Nicolas Sarkozy.

And the e-mail my dear and personal friend Barack Hussein Obama sent me when it was clear he was the victor still had the “Donate” button at the bottom…
