Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Disservice – Religion makes me sad.

It’s funny, for all the take-down, all the arguing all the debate that has been featured here at DWR, sometimes a picture just nails what is so wrong with a concept.  In this case the idea is christian religion. The picture is so sad.  And yet people want to believe

Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Sunday Religious Disservice – The Canadian Office of Religious Stupidity.

Hey I need some help eroding the church/state separation. Lets ask the experts! I’m not really sure what is so shit-hot about the attitudes and conventions of the Dark Ages, but Harper and his government have decided to fecklessly dive into the land of pants-on-head stupid and establish a official

Dead Wild Roses: The DWR Friday Classical Music Interlude – Bach, Three-part Invention #4, D minor (Sinfonia), BWV 790

  The vertical stripes show the rhythmic “grid” — showing the hierarchy of beats. The first beat in a measure is the strongest, followed by the half-measure point, followed by quarter-measure points, etc. This lets you see when a note is “suspended” through a strong beat.

Dead Wild Roses: Contraception – Why is there *any* contention about this?

Other than libertarian or misogynistic concerns, both that are as useless as pants on on giraffe, I don’t see what the problem is.  Women win, their partners win and society wins. Filed under: Education, Feminism Tagged: Common Sense, Contraception, Feminism, PSA, US

Dead Wild Roses: My Launch into the Failosphere – Sparkling MRA Stupidity.

The manosphere welcomes you and your sparkling brethren. The red pen of justice is vibrating in anticipation of this particular post.  Admittedly, when going into the “Manosphere” it makes it shamefully easy to brandish the RPJ.  I again make mention of the insipid nature of the WordPress reader function because
