Mystery Google
October 12th, 2009 
Daniel Fincke This is kind of neat, it’s called “Mystery Google” and you type in your search term but instead of getting your results you get the results of the person who searched just before you did. For my token searches I used “Camels With Hammers” as my phrase of course in hopes that the next Mystery [...]

October 12th, 2009 Daniel Fincke I have almost never discussed baseball around here since launching Camels With Hammers last June. But the archives under the category “Baseball” will amply demonstrate that when I first began blogging back in 2006, baseball was the one of two primary topics that I would blog. The other was Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers. I [...]

October 12th, 2009 Daniel Fincke Custador recommends this hilarious exercise in double entendres on the once extremely popular British show for preschoolers Rainbow: Rest assured, it never was intended to air for children and it never did air for them—it was made for a Christmas Party tape for the show’s staff only.

A Gay Blogger Undercover At “Love Won Out”
October 11th, 2009 Daniel Fincke A couple of years ago now, Box Turtle Bulletin’s Jim Burroway attended Focus On The Family’s “Love Won Out” conference about how not to be gay.

October 11th, 2009 Daniel Fincke Let me just take the opportunity to let all my LGBTQ friends know how much I admire your resilience in the midst of so much cultural hostility. Individuality, self-definition, self-creation, self-overcoming, and values-innovation are all extremely high ideals to me (in no small part due to my Nietzscheanism). And the increasingly successful struggle of gays [...]

Is Conservatism Less Compatible With Science Than Religion?
October 10th, 2009 Daniel Fincke Josh Rosenau makes an unusual argument: Roughly half of scientists are religious, but fewer than 10% are conservatives.
