    • World Chess Championship Headed For Overtime May 28, 2012
      It’s time to stop sulking about the various headaches caused by the transition and get back to blogging.  I managed to get the banner the overlords sent me to load properly, so that seems like some sort of victory at least.  Alas, there doesn’t seem to be much space between the base of the banner…

      For some reason the steamed and boiled fruit pudding never really took hold in the new world.  It was, by and large, the dessert of choice in Britain for centuries, and in the early days of the colonies, and into the early 19th century, basically as long as open-fireplace cooking was the norm, it was…

      As we remember and honor those who've lost their lives while serving this country, we should also think of those who grieve for them.

Having said that, in common English parlance we do not call a tomato a fruit.…

John Quiggin comments on the rarity of such moves, while Mark Hoofnagle draws a parallel with Stephen Sumpter leaving the UK Greens over their opposition to scientific experiments on GM […]

    • The Refusers attack Orac’s readers May 28, 2012
      I was thinking of taking Memorial Day off. There are several reasons. First, it’s a holiday. Second, the blog still isn’t functioning quite up to snuff after the transition to WordPress. In particular, we still have a major spam infestation that is unlikely to improve before Tuesday. It also doesn’t help that I have a…

Godtube Video of the Week – So Goes the Rest of the Nation

more about “untitled“, posted with vodpod

Video equating the recent weather disasters with the ban being lifted on Gay Marriage in California.   Apparently to some people, God hates homosexuals so much he would  inflict disasters on completely innocent people.  What a nasty God.   But I suppose their “reasoning” is that the rest of the country tolerated it so God is bringing “judgement” on them for not stopping it.

Richard Dawkins: The Big Question

The methods of evolution by Darwinian natural selection can in fact tell us why we are here and not merely how. Dawkins explores the details.

Diabetic Girl Dies While Parents Pray…

On Sunday in the Town of Weston, near Wausau, 11-year-old Madeline Kara Neumann died of diabetic ketoacidosis, a treatable though serious condition of type 1 diabetes in which acid builds up in the blood.Neumann’s parents said they didn’t know she had diabetes. They didn’t take her to a doctor. They prayed for healing.

http://www.jsonline.com/story/index.aspx?id=732626

I hope the parents get charged with Manslaughter. The girl had not been to the doctor since she was three years old. This is utterly disgusting and if a parent had done that and had been an atheist, they would be arrested and charged with neglect, child abuse and manslaughter.
