Finally, the people who claim evolution will lead to moral ruin have proof:
A man waving a brick barged into Monroe Middle School and ranted about the teachings of evolution before being arrested by police Tuesday morning.
Somehow, I don’t think that’s what they meant.
Monroe police reported the man walked into the school office and immediately headed […]

Random things

Chuck Norris doesn’t get Chuck Norris Facts.
I remember in 2nd grade being told that human beings are animals. It seemed like a very radical idea. Most kids said they didn’t we were animals (I agreed) during the recess after that revelation. I believe some older kids stole our basketball after we finished airing our beliefs. […]

Ten Commandments in Bozeman

Since I rarely get a chance to read the Chronicle anymore, I missed the fact that there’s been a Ten Commandments issue (link will die soon, of course) around here:
Installation of the Ten Commandments in a public space, an issue the Bozeman City Commission and city staff have been grappling with for months, was back […]

My my

Indiana Jones has been denied tenure:
Dr. Jones’s interpersonal skills and relationships are no better. By Dr. Jones’s own admission, he has repeatedly employed an underage Asian boy as a driver and “personal assistant” during his Far East travels. I will refrain from making any insinuations as to the nature of this relationship, but my intuition […]

You knew it was out there

Now you can watch Stan Jones’s powerfully prophetic closing statement from the Bozeman Senate debate whenever you want.

The author winds up stopping short of endorsing the sort of evangelism of that trio. I tend to stop short as well, […]

Quote of the day

From here:
It is said that science will dehumanize people and turn them into numbers. That is false, tragically false. Look for yourself. This is the concentration camp and crematorium at Auschwitz. This is where people were turned into numbers. Into this pond were flushed the ashes of some four million people. And that was not […]

Who needs a god?

There are really three key things that piss me off about religion. The first is when people revel in the irrationality of faith. I have no problem tolerating disagreement with my conclusions about religion. I get irritated, however, when people forsake their everyday thought processes in one area for no apparent reason and then […]

Scary drug ads not working?

Color me surprised. And they got a certificate of approval for such a waste of resources from the government? Unfathomable.
I’ve heard people say how impressed they are with them, but they always strike me as so over-the-top as to not be taken seriously. And of course, meth use in Montana was already dropping steadly, so […]
