Sometimes people manage to crystallize a thought or a notion into a wonderful passage that is explicit, yet concise all at the same time. The Cynical Romantic from an older discussion thread on Pharyngula manages to capture much about what Atheism plus is and why it has been formed. [fixed

We have not written on America’s imperial adventures for awhile here at DWR. Constant examination of the antithesis of our civilization lays bare the soul, to touch the carefully crafted web we ensconce ourselves in and shake it till the dirty bitter truths rupture forth wearies the heart and

We are a skeptical bunch here at DWR and claims of mind reading tend to set off our bullcookery detectors, but let me assure you this is for realz peeps, and I fully endorse this video and the message contained within. A hat tip to mystro for plucking this handy

I am tired of the bad rap Unions get. You know why they get a bad rap, because they are one of the few institutions in society that can mount effective opposition to corporate power. You like your 8 hour work day? Thank unions for that. Health and Safety regulations?

I need a top up of Mr.Jackson, and poof this gem came across my bow. How could I say no? 🙂 A big hat-tip to Moe at Whatever Works for posting the video for me to see and then link to here. Filed under: Humour Tagged: bedtime stories, Funny, Samuel

We’ll see if we can make it short and quick for today’s Disservice. God has a lot of people who claim to speak for him and his will (see the mentally ill). It’s like certain people happen to have a holy transceiver installed and others, like myself most decidedly do
Continue readingDead Wild Roses: Torture is Great – More Positive Republican PR
I’m not a fan of all of Jessie Ventura’s politics, but he makes a strong case against the use of torture while explaining to the designated right-wing nut on the View how and why its wrong. Let’s open up the discussion. When, if ever, is torture permissible? Leave your opinion

Here in the West and in the East we have our religious nutters. What is not being covered as much in the media here is the moderate response to the “film” the Innocence of Muslims. Avaaz.org has a great article which I’ve taken bits out of and posted for your

Liberal Viewer (and everyone else) has decided that Romney should show a little more love to the moochers and freeloaders of American society. Just sayn’. Filed under: Politics Tagged: Fail, Liberal Viewer, Oh Mittens!, Republican “strategy”, Romney, The Rich hate you, US Politics

I love it when people try to use their putrid magic books to say that they have a strong basis for their morality and ethical outlook. Of course its mostly these same people who don’t actually read the bible to see what it actually says. For your pleasure and edification

Mystro introduced me to the youtuber WildWoodClair1. She has a nice channel with many videos mocking christian inanity in the multitudinous forms it comes in. Our selection today is a particularly concise take down of bad christian religious ideas stated with risibly solemn rectitude by clueless christians. Enjoy. 🙂

I’m looking for the transcript (found it)because sometimes the applause drowns out the speaker. In any case, this is a command performance and emphasizes a few important points about discourse in our society in general and feminism in particular. I remember how the park, outside of parked cars, was frozen

CBC radio 2 still has goodness left in it, witness the Signature Series. A string of programs that explore popular conceptions of music written in specific key signatures. Today’s interlude will feature the key of G minor and songs that are written in that specific key. The downside to
