Apparently Conrad Burns thinks you should be pissing yourself with fear over Tester’s calls to repeal the Patriot Act. What else explains this attempt to strike fear into your heart?
It’s also a nice example of confusing cause and correlation. The Patriot Act was passed and now every success in the war on terrorism is a […]

Mr. O’Reilly has a new book coming out called Culture Warrior. It’s about the war between “traditionalists” and “Secular-Progressives” (abbreviated “S-P”). He even has a quiz to tell which side you’re on! You can read the preface here. Crackin’ stuff:
I can tell you truthfully that I never envisioned myself crusading against establishment forces like the […]

So a new NIE says Iraq is inflaming terrorism. Seems pretty obvious to those who have been saying so for the past couple years.
Sadly, it doesn’t tell us what to do in Iraq. Keep fueling the fire or leave a safe haven? I still don’t know.
Apparently though, all we need to do is care a […]

That I’m keenly interested in calls I miss but can’t figure out the caller, but I don’t take the step of calling the person back?
It’s a conundrum, let me tell you.

From Sam Harris’s new book:
Despite a full century of scientific insights attesting to the antiquity of the earth, more than half our neighbors believe that the entire cosmos was created six thousand years ago. This is, incidentally, about a thousand years after the Sumerians invented glue.
and
The president of the United States has claimed, on more […]

I suppose I should comment on this while it’s fresh in my mind. I didn’t write anything down (because I’m lazy), so this won’t be that in-depth of a review.
I don’t think it was even close. Tester was almost perfect and Burns said the same meaningless crap we’ve been hearing for months. Tester will weaken […]

You’ll see that there’s a link called “Quick Comments” at the bottom of each of my posts. I decided to experiment with AJAX the other day at work. It found it interesting enough to play with here (after all, I can only justify so much time spent on programming in the QA department) and decided […]

I get a warm fuzzy feeling when I see all the love local rep John Sinrud is getting from the blogs lately.
Sadly, I have no anti-Sinrud experience to share with you, other than the one going on in Touchstone’s comments, where Sinrud is dodging questions, demanding my last name, and attacking Tester (and addressing that […]

You know what the real problem with Islam is? Its adherents have lost their sense of irony. I think we’d have far fewer problems if they were capable of recognizing when they were blatantly contradicting themselves.

Sam Harris has an op-ed in the LA Times attacking liberal responses to terrorism. If you know anything about Harris, you know where he’s going with this. Let’s look a little closer:
But my correspondence with liberals has convinced me that liberalism has grown dangerously out of touch with the realities of our world — specifically […]
