Bryan Fischer, former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and those like them have no clue how Christianity works. I’ll tell you why I say that. These are the people trying to link the Sandy Hook shootings to a lack of prayer in schools. That’s just plain stupid. Anyone who actually takes the time to look at…

It took a week, but the NRA (National Rifle Association) has finally decided how to respond to the Newtown, Connecticut shooting. According to them, it had nothing to do with the shooters ease of access to high capacity semi-automatic weapons. Of course not. It was his exposure to violent video games and movies. We know…

If you’ve ever gone online, you’ve most likely encountered what I like to think of as Internet Science. I’m not talking about real science that actually makes the internet possible. I’m talking about the weird and special things you can find masquerading as science online. Among the most conspicuous, are the ads featuring “One weird…

My friend Jason came through for me again. I told him I planned to go see “The HOBBIT” on my birthday next week and he called a friend and hooked me up with passes to the press screening last night. (Thanks again J, you ROCK!) I don’t do spoilers, so I won’t give away any…

Disgraced former media mogul and ex-con Conrad Black is saying he shouldn’t be stripped of his Order of Canada. Why not?

Last night, I had the opportunity to see the new Martin Scorsese film “Hugo”. I had no idea what the storyline was, only that a friend had scored passes for it and invited my family and I along. I made a point of not looking it up so as to approach it with fresh eyes. …

Usually, I try not to write about the same thing two days in a row. This isn’t my fault though. If the Occupy the Media people would just shut up, I could move on peacefully. Instead, they are talking about maybe issuing demands. Really? Demands? Who do they think they are? What right do they…

My daughter is a fan of the Nickelodeon show Victorious. It’s not one I’ve taken the time to watch, but the bits I’ve seen over her shoulder tell me it’s another teen/highschool dramedy. Seen one, seen them all. Or so I thought. Then I caught a couple of minutes on while it was recording on…

The more I see of the Occupy This And That crowd, the more they annoy me. One of their most annoying habits is claiming to be the “99%”. Even the most math challenged should be able to understand that this is decidedly not the case. I’m going to be generous (and lazy) and give them…
