I saw this on a bumper sticker a while back. Those shirts are tempting, but I can’t exactly where one to work. Nor could I bring myself to wear one in public, really.
Still, very funny. Almost makes up for the Tancredo bumper sticker I saw the other day.
Q: What happens when a person sees several people, who unbeknownst to him are undercover policemen, dealing drugs on his lawn and comes out of his house with a weapon to scare them away?
If you answered “the police officers identify themselves as the police, show identification, calm the man down, and leave his property” you […]
Brief moment of triviality: television complaints
0 Comments Published by Jeff, July 29th, 2007 in CultureSince I got a HDTV, I’ve been watching more TNT than normal, through their HD offering. One of the oddities of that channel is their incessant promotion of a show called Saving Grace, which premiered not long ago (I think). The premise is apparently that Holly Hunter gets a guardian angel and life lessons ensue. […]
I don’t think I’ve ever discussed Pascal’s Wager on here. Mostly because it’s a silly argument, but it was (rather inappropriately) brought up in a comments thread at Colby’s blog. Here’s a description:

Your Score: Robot
You are 100% Rational, 0% Extroverted, 14% Brutal, and 14% Arrogant.
You are the Robot! You are characterized by your rationality. In fact, this is really ALL you are characterized by. Like a cold, heartless machine, you are so logical and unemotional that you scarcely […]
So you might have noticed other people mentioning the Association of Montana Bloggers group that is starting up. It’s part of Colby’s grand vision of world domina…I mean, it’s a good idea that I think has a lot of promise.
There’s not much of a defined mission yet, but the general idea is to promote Montana […]
So, you know those caricatures of modern conservatives liberals have? Do you ever wonder what would happen if they all got on a boat together? You don’t have to wonder anymore.
Michael Gerson pontificates in the WaPo about atheists:
So the dilemma is this: How do we choose between good and bad instincts? Theism, for several millennia, has given one answer: We should cultivate the better angels of our nature because the God we love and respect requires it. While many of us fall tragically short, the […]
