THIS BLOG IS NOT RON PAUL FRIENDLY. →
paxamericana:
Ron Paul wants to define life as starting at conception, build a fence along the US-Mexico border, prevent the Supreme Court from hearing cases on the Establishment Clause or the right to privacy, permitting the return of sodomy laws and the like (a bill which he has repeatedly re-introduced), pull out of the UN, disband NATO, end birthright citizenship, deny federal funding to any...

More NBA Lockout →
Unlike Bill Simmons, Charlie Pierce is someone I do try to follow. This is about the strictly political aspect of the lockout.

The NBA is Going Back to Work (?)
I suppose that we could have predicted this: both sides get to swing their dicks around in big circles, and when that’s done, we get a deal. Both sides got their lines in the sand (Stern with his “take this deal or the next one gets worse” bullshit, the players with decertification), and when all the nonsense is out of the way, the real negotiation gets done.
At the end of the...

Re: Pitchfork
Snobbishness is forgivable. Banality is not.

Good King Wenceslaus
Good King Wenceslas looked out, on the Feast of Stephen,
When the snow lay round about, deep and crisp and even; Brightly shone the moon that night, tho’ the frost was cruel, When a poor man came in sight, gath’ring winter fuel.
“Hither, page, and stand by me, if thou know’st it, telling,
Yonder peasant, who is he? Where and what his dwelling?” “Sire, he...

Verlander is MVP!
And what is this nonsense about pitchers not qualifying? Every five games, the Detroit Tigers were virtually certain to win the game simply because Verlander was on the mound. You know that he would allow only a run or two and go a minimum of seven innings, on top of the fact that you knew you could rest your bullpen.
In 2011 (after April), the Tigers winning every fifth game because Verlander...

How Did We Get Here? A Breakdown of the NBA... →
Normally I don’t have a lot of interest in Bill Simmons’s work. This is, however, a decent take on the NBA lockout. Since this is normally the time I start posting things about the NBA, I’ll be filling the gap by linking to interesting strike posts.

Hey Truther!
Every time I hear 9/11 conspiracy theories, I hear the subtext screaming in my ear: “of course it was an Illuminati-style conspiracy, because certainly those people (Muslims, Arabs, what have you) wouldn’t be able to muster the organization or the expertise to pull something like this off”.
At best, 9/11 conspiracy theory refuses to acknowledge the mood in what we call the...

Tim Tebow: Magical White Person
classicaldotorg:
By Mobutu Sese Seko Even if one wants to feel a genial non-interfering positivity or salutary indifference toward Tim Tebow and his “testimony,” the frequency and intensity with which it’s invoked by NFL Network and ESPN makes it intolerable. By week 14, Skip Bayless will be berating some poor Archbishop about their “beatification bias.” This really isn’t Tebow’s fault. He’s...

notes toward everything: Positivism & Atheism →

wmzink:
I don’t understand how people can’t see that atheism requires a leap of faith in exactly the same way that religion does. You say you see no evidence of god, so you believe there is no god. That’s fine, I can live with that. But the fact is that you believe there is no god in exactly the same…

Therein lies your flaw. Atheists don’t believe there...

Positivism & Atheism
I don’t understand how people can’t see that atheism requires a leap of faith in exactly the same way that religion does. You say you see no evidence of god, so you believe there is no god. That’s fine, I can live with that. But the fact is that you believe there is no god in exactly the same way a Christian believes there is a god. Each move requires a leap of faith: they...
