The communications director at the SCA has just posted a blog post about the importance of bipartisanship. In which she somehow fails to mention Edwina Rogers once AND uses stats that prove exactly how wrong she is. This is a nightmare. I think that it is more reasonable to say that the secular movement needs …

Conferences

Secular Coalition for America Blog
I thought, you know, being a semi-regular contributor to 3 blogs just wasn't enough. Sean Faircloth, who I have a total atheist political crush on, got in touch with me a few months ago to ask me if I wanted to help with his new project, creating a blog on the SCA site. The help …
