I should thank this speaker, Fahah Ullah Queresh for explaining that we needn’t worry about offending moderate Muslims – because there aren’t any; they all self-identify as unreasonable homophobic misogynists endorsing excessively morbidly violent reactions to what they say are ‘offenses’, but which don’t even count as crimes in civilized society. It’s also important to […]
Scott Lane on the Ra-Men
The summary of tonight’s podcast is that Scott Lane has a son in a Louisiana elementary school -“-where the state government fosters creationism and religious proselytization in schools. One of the test questions asked [something along the lines of] “Isn’t it wonderful what the ______ has done?” Lane’s son couldn’t have guessed that the answer […]
On this date, once upon a time…
I would just like to point out that 52 years ago, on October 15th 1962, my existence was documented in a small Arizona hospital that was later converted into a jail. John Fitzgerald Kennedy was president of what was then the most scientifically advanced country – in world that still had not been to the […]
I wouldn’t say I loved Lucy
I’m doing a movie review AFTER everyone else has seen the damned thing. Can you believe, I couldn’t get anyone in my family to go see Lucy with me? I finally saw it on my own alone at a dollar movie. Why wouldn’t anyone see it with me? Because it wasn’t remotely real. We seem […]
My schedule at the moment
I just confirmed my flights for the Unholy Trinity Down Under. I tried to arrange an overnight stop in Los Angeles, but that would have cost another $800.00. So when I board Quantas in DFW, I won’t get off that plane until two days later, once I’m on the other side of the world. That […]

Right now, there is a window where publishers can make changes to books prior to the final adoption/rejection that happens at the November SBOE meeting. For this hearing, it’s best as a strategy to first try […]
Duck Cage
I guess this is the star of Duck Dynasty. I don’t know; I’ve never seen the show. Anyway he says that atheists will be converted to end-times Christians if we watch the remake of ‘Left Behind’ starring Nicholas Cage. Can it believe it took this for me to finally lose the last of my respect […]
Irrational Rowlett – again
This video is from last April. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v46oAeOWkLg Last year, we had a bit of a confrontation with the city of Rowlett Texas, and the invocation that was illegal then, and for which they will not be held accountable. Now things have changed, but the more things change, the more they stay the same, and you’re […]
Ra-Men – Being progressive
I’m doing a new podcast. Mark Nebo of BeSecular co-hosts the show, and he acts as producer as well. He wanted a title that had my name in it. My sense of humor came up with the Ra-Men. I want to do something different. Anybody can bitch about any situation and every solution anyone ever […]
My 3rd of the Unholy Trinity
This was my contribution to the first tour of the Unholy Trinity. It is so bizarre when I find myself addressing a full house from the podium of a church. I would have worn a blazer like I did in Amarillo and Albuquerque, but there was a problem with the air conditioning in that church […]
