Some photos from Monday: http://www.flickr.com/photos/nyctours/sets/ I'm still so sickened by the despicable denialist behavior at Ground Zero that I don't feel like writing about it, but It's high time I got to the positive stuff, and I feel overwhelmingly positive about our presence there...

ABC News is inviting people to send stories about how global warming has affected them. The Wall Street Journal reports they got this submission (apparently, he doesn't have email yet...):

Rapes, murder, roving gangs, firefights.......the days after katrina there were all sorts of crazy stories as if NewOrleans was a civil war torn 3rd world country. But I really havent seen any follow up. Nothing about charges, investigation, or muder arrests. Did that crazyness even happen?

Let's face it, a star was born. That or there is now proof that satelitte radio is so desperate they will put anyone on. Now I have to come up with MORE funny, yet "true" alien stories for the mass media. Well, ones I can blast to all heck. So what is the weirdest UFO case you remember...

Let's hear it for truth and credibility. Got a couple minutes, Armstrong Williams?

Is there any way one of you could help me out. I am looking for the start of each of these creation stories in the king james version of the bible. You know the one where he made adam and eve at the same time and the one where he made them seperately. I have been looking all through genesis...

The two creation stories in Genesis can easily be reconciled when you recognise that the early parts of the bible are fully polytheistic. The writer of Genesis, Exodus, Numbers etc does not question the reality of the other nations' gods. Gen 1 talks about the "elohim" in the plural. Apologists...

I have sat on my couch for *hours* watching the Schiavo case unfold. I was mesmerized by the whole thing. Now that that is out of the way, I sat and made a list of some other favorite topics that would cause me to watch (say, CNN) for hours on end. They are: The Fair Tax (*would* it be any...

Take a look at this infuriating throwback: Cross Burned On Black Minister's Lawn WTF. I'm really angry - though, even more maddeningly, not surprised - at this incident, or these incidents rather. What is this, the Sixties? Holy &$@%.

Browsing through the BMJ as you do when i came across this article. Quite interesting. http://bmj.bmjjournals.com/cgi/content/full/327/7429/1424

I am having a great time reading over these stories and I thought maybe some of you would enjoy it, too. I am not sure I would call the stories censred; it seems that they just haven't been picked up by major media outlets here in the United States. I am curious as to whether members from...
