Just explain it to people…

People still don’t understand the health care bill, but a majority want it to be expanded or kept as is… We need to expand this.  Great way to bring costs down?  Take insurance profits out of people’s health care.  Why is the health of American citizens for-profit?

New Poll – Kasich is a douche-nozzle, and Ohioans are noticing…

This: Ohio Senate Bill 5 may not be in effect for very long…54% of voters in the state say they’d repeal it in an election later this year while just 31% say they’d vote to let the bill stand. This is from a recent PPP poll on Ohio SB 5.  Kasich is a moron.  Kasich [...]

Class War 2011 – Death Unto Thee, Unions…

If you were a rich, despotic overlord, and wanted to keep the overworked, underpaid peasants beholden to your every whim, what do you think would be a good way to accomplish such a feat?  You would need to make sure that more and more of your pathetic underlings were so worried about feeding their families [...]

They Might Be Giants – I Am A Paleontologist

Because, even when politics or religion get me down, science is there to make me SMILE! 

NEVER mention Hitler – Even if you’re right…

Sherrod Brown (D-OH) got into some hot water by mentioning how much Hitler, and a few other tyrants, hated unions.  Uh oh!  The H word! “I look back at history,” he said, “and some of the worst governments we’ve ever had, you know one of the first things they ever did? They went after the [...]

“Why I’m An Atheist” – Part 2 from DarkSyde, Daily Kos

Here’s the second part of DarkSyde’s brilliant Atheist posts. This: Life is a gift to all of us. And yet, when one is an atheist, they are sometimes bothered by perhaps well meaning but nevertheless annoying theists, who accuse them of not caring about the life of anyone or anything. It’s an odd reaction, because [...]

Not Habitable? You can’t explain that!

Some bad news for planets around low mass stars… Tides can render the so-called “habitable zone” around low-mass stars uninhabitable. This is the main result of a recently published study by a team of astronomers led by René Heller of the Astrophysical Institute Potsdam Pretty interesting study, but tides?  Really?!?  I only have one thing [...]

Brilliant – “What it’s Like to be an Atheist”

I found this one while trolling around Daily Kos.  DarkSyde sums up, spectacularly, what it’s like to be an atheist in this country with a little tongue-in-cheek comparison to everyone’s favorite jolly old elf… You don’t still believe in Santa now, do you? Imagine that you live in a world where 90% of the people [...]

You may be a Redneck…

If you screw your sister to populate the world… You may be a Redneck…

“You can’t handle the truth… fetus!”

Are. You. Kidding. Me? COLUMBUS, Ohio — A fetus has been scheduled as a legislative witness in Ohio on a unique bill that proposes outlawing abortions after the first heartbeat can be medically detected. Um, yeah…  The only way this can get any crazier is if they get Jenny McCarthy to cross examine the fetus [...]
