  • Tolerance is out the Window

    A while ago I posted an article on Why I'm an Atheist and a large part of the post was dedicated to promoting tolerance of others religious beliefs. I argued that while we don’t have to accept each other’s beliefs, we should tolerate them. That is after...

  • The Passion of Schiavo

    Terri Schiavo has made it through Easter weekend. Why is this significant? Because she is NOT the earthly incarnation of Jesus Christ!!! Oh, you hadn't heard that one yet? Check out this article on Terri's Crucifixion. And this one: Woman's Plight Likened...

  • Origins of Easter

    Easter Sunday. According to the Christian religion, today is one of the most holiest of days, possibly rivaled only by Christmas. It's a day where children excitedly get up in the morning to find baskets full of Easter eggs and candy. Families dress up...

  • Have I mentioned that I HATE Connecticut?

    So here we are, it's March 24th, three days into Spring, and by the way, my son's 14th birthday (Happy Birthday Michael-Aaron! I really wish I were there) and I'm looking out my back window, and there's EIGHT FUCKING INCHES OF SNOW on the ground!!!!!...

  • Yet Another Posting on Terri

    I've been largely ignoring this whole mess with Terri Schiavo, mostly because I thought it wasn't a big deal. I thought it was just a few whack jobs making a stink for their unltra-conservative-religious agenda. I thought for sure that this thing would...

  • New Site Design

    I'm working on the new site design, the last one was hideous. There's still a few kinks in the layout of some of the pages, but hopefully I'll have those fixed up over the weekend. Until then please bear with me.

  • Jesus Candle

    Ok, last one for today I promise, I should stop wasting time, but this one was too good to let go. If there is one positive aspect of religion, it's that it's good for the economy. People are consistently coming up with new and clever ways to capitalize...

  • Irony and Mr. Goodbar

    In the wonderful state of Tennessee (where I happened to call home for 3 years) there is a law that holds parents accountable for their children's excess absence from school. This is actually punishible by up to a year in jail. In an effort to make parents...

  • Man escapes from prison, just hours before being released.

    Ok, I'm going to lighten things up around here, there's way too much tension here lately. Here's a story about a guy who with just hours to go before his release from a four-month sentence for a couple of misdemeanors, thought it was a good idea to escape...

  • Holy Crap! I'm sorry!

    Wow, the fallout from that last posting was certainly more than I bargained for. Lighten up people, it was a joke, purely self-deprecating, I meant no harm. Try to understand, that this is just me pointing out to myself, that I've hurt people, that I...

  • Tequila & Salt

    This was sent to me last night, by an old friend, I'm guessing in an effort to help make me feel better about not having anyone here to miss me. (although as I pointed out earlier, I was wrong about that). So let me just take a few moments to comment...

  • I Was Missed

    It seems that at least one person missed me. Thank you Celina, you are a true friend.

  • Well, I'm home

    Hmm... Well, I'm home now and I have to say, I wish I could have stayed a bit longer. I had a great weekend, did some fun things with my kids, spent some time with my brother and his wife and my niece and nephew. It was a lot of fun. We kept very busy...

  • New Photos from Arizona

    I've posted new photos from this trip to Arizona. Check them out here It's been a very busy and tiring weekend, and as much as I love the weather here, and love spending time with my kids, I almost can't wait to get home to relax. I'll write more later...
