Creationist children are raised with a disdain for science.

I want to slap people who say “Mmm! This tastes good!” in response to any sort of alcohol. Listen. No, it doesn’t. It’s awful. If it was just a regular drink that tasted like that, no one would ever say it was good.

I suspect that not one person in the history of humanity has ever reached early adolescence and made a conscious decision about what stimuli trigger a little hormonal surge.

Joe Biden has a million dollar smile.

And this is the final thought on the topic: I love wrecking the distorted world-view of deep-end, caricature feminists (not be to confused with legitimate feminists who are actually concerned with equality).

Thought of the day

The whole Jew zombie, Jesus thing is predicated on sin which was caused by Adam and Eve. This presents a massive problem for those reasonable enough to know that neither Adam nor Eve ever existed but who are just irrational enough to still believe a zombie/god/man died because of the actions of Adam and Eve.

Thought of the day

Not only does the NFL have the worst overtime rules of any sport at any time ever, but it makes its games so boring so much of the time with all its reviews and friggin’ flags.*

*I have little to no personal interest in any of the playoff teams that are left (which includes the Saints and Vikings right now).

Sexism exists. I’m not kidding, it really does. (I know!) But sometimes it isn’t there. Sometimes people want it to be there. Take this terrible post from Thus Spake Zuska. It’s about an article about the hardships obese women tend to face in terms of some healthcare. But then it goes off the deep end, makes a series of bad (and often irrelevant) points, and half the commenters claim sexism at the drop of a hat. Hell, the fact that I said “drop of a hat” might make some of these kooks think of the I Love Lucy sort of cliches about women always asking their husbands if they can buy hats just so they (these kooks) can make a specious sexism claim. It’s inane.

Calling everything sexism (and without any sort of argument, at that) undermines claims made when sexism is actually afoot.

As of this moment, the post Andreas Moritz is a stupid, dangerous man has exactly 4,000 hits. This is pleasing.

The Republican Party hates the idea of progress.
