Criminal Prosecution of Bush Possible
Posted in In the News, Politics, tagged bush administration, torture on April 21, 2009 | 10 Comments »
Bush officials may be up for possible prosecution for its policies on torture. I think it’s the right thing to do.
Finally.
If you doubt that the Bush administration should be prosecuted. Watch the documentary Taxi to the Dark Side . You’ll be persuaded.
A degree in creationism
Posted in raising agnostic children, religion, tagged creationsim, raising kids without relgion, texas on April 21, 2009 | 1 Comment »
The Dallas Morning News today featured an article about an “academic” institution that offers a graduate degree in creationism. OH BROTHER. I checked out their site (here) and discovered that, ironically, they are, “fighting academic and religious discrimination.” (No, this is not a joke.)
Thank goodness Texas finally did something right. They denied the “Institute [...]
Man not alone in the universe

Of course not, there’s woman, too. I never quite understood the reasoning behind these UFO stories.
Former astronaut Edgar Mitchell claims the US government is majorly covering UFO visits. Over the years, Big Brother has convinced hundreds of people to stay mum (yeah, right).
The big question is, why? Why would officials even want to [...]
Guilty mothers
Posted in parenting, tagged children, motherhood, raising children with religion on April 21, 2009 | 3 Comments »
I love having children, but srsly, they wear me out. They always have. Not physically so much as emotionally. All the questions, demands, sibling arguments and the constant chatter. Some days, I’ve felt like screaming, “Just give me a few minutes to think!” Of course, I don’t, but then I have feelings of guilt for [...]
Obesity Contributes to Global Warming
Posted in In the News, The Environment, tagged obesity, The Environment on April 21, 2009 | 20 Comments »
This is not new news. People who are overweight cost more to transport. They cause more wear and tear on roads and cars. This has an environmental cost: more gas is used, more resources are needed for repairs and maintenance.
This article points out that the obesity epidemic costs the US near $100 billion annually.
But [...]
Regulation of GHG on its way.
Posted in In the News, Politics, The Environment, tagged cap-and-trade, carbon tax, GHG regulation on April 17, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Amen. The EPA officially declared six greenhouse gases (GHG)detrimental to the environment and the health of Americans. This means cap-and-trade (or a carbon tax) is almost certain. Congress is currently working on climate change legislation that will address these issues. If a new policy on GHG is not forthcoming, the EPA now has the ability [...]
Rick Perry Has to GO
Posted in In the News, Politics, The Environment on April 17, 2009 | 5 Comments »
He sucks. There’s no doubt about that. The people who support Perry…well, most of them are not thinking.
Perry recently referred to a Lone Star State secession. Haven’t we had enough of this BS that Texas is like no other state? That we should be our own nation. That we ain’t gotta listen to Washington.
As [...]
Coalition of Reason in DFW
Posted in Politics, parenting, raising agnostic children, tagged dallas fort worth, religion on April 1, 2009 | 5 Comments »
Lookey here.
Dallas/Fort Worth has some new billboards that say:
DON’T BELIEVE IN GOD?….YOU ARE NOT ALONE
A local group, Dallas Forth-Worth Coalition of Reason, has paid for the billboards across town. Maybe. Just maybe this will start tearing at the fabric of religion here. Maybe the religious might open their minds to other ideas. I’d be happy [...]
