Mitt Romney Is No Longer A Mormon.

That’s right. Mitt Romney, America’s most famous representative of the Church of Latter Day Saints no longer belongs to the Mormon faith. His associations with the church were invalidated when a moment ago I took it upon myself to unbaptize him. So, spread the word far and wide, fellow atheists, Mitt Romney is now one [...]

Patton Oswalt Sums Up The Underwhelming Imagination of the Star Wars Prequels

From his comedy album Werewolves and Lollipops, Patton Oswalt sums up many people’s disappointments with the premise of the Star Wars prequels: It’s weird that objectively I fully understand and usually agree with many of the criticisms of the prequels and yet still personally love them. Are they flawed? Absolutely. They could have been 15 [...]

Patton Oswalt on Arguments Against Gay Marriage

Pretty hilarious: From Patton Oswalt’s Finest Hour. In the same show he is as funny as can be on romantic comedies and on “gay friend” tropes in movies. The DVD is coming soon. (Thanks to Leanna for the video.) Your Thoughts?

Marauding Gay Hordes Drag Thousands Of Helpless Citizens From Marriages

Last year President Obama announced his administration would not defend the Defense of Marriage Act in court. The consequences were disastrous: WASHINGTON—Reports continue to pour in from around the nation today of helpless Americans being forcibly taken from their marital unions after President Obama dropped the Defense of Marriage Act earlier this week, leaving the [...]

You Know I Usually Hate Wes Anderson Movies…

…and this trailer is so Wes Andersony (Slate nicely breaks down how) that at first it struck me like he was descending into self-parody. But by the end I felt like I had just watched a charming two minute movie. Watching the actual full length film might spoil the charm. I’ll have to think over [...]

I’m a Muppet of a Man, I’m a Very Manly Muppet

Life’s like a movie, make your ending, keep believing, keep pretending… As Tyler Cowen was talking about in the last post, humans are inexorably drawn to stories. I even like to think of every sentence as a story. It stars a subject which verbs something. And in my childhood there were two stories that loomed [...]

How To Make Your Own Doritos

As someone whose body must be made of at least 20% Dorito since I eat so many of them, the revelation of the secret ingredient made perfect sense to me. It had to be something that special to make something that tastes that good: Just so no one gets confused, I’ve placed a disclaimer for [...]

Dan Barker Makes Sense of the Gospel Message

I know Dan Barker claims to be only a former Christian minister but he still has a gift for bringing the Gospel message alive in a fresh, new way that makes powerful sense of it. It’s weird it would take an atheist’s description to make me see angles in the story of salvation which I [...]

If You Love South Park, Learn About the Originals–The Ancient Cynics

What kinds of philosophers choose the name for their school of philosophy from the word for dogs? The cynics, who were basically social-convention flouting performance artists and proto-south park scatalogical/philosophical satirists of their time. Learn plenty about them in a very accessible 22 minutes, filled with charming anecdotes. An ancient philosophy specialist and friend of mine recommended [...]

Does This Count As A “Caturday” Post?

I’m not at all a cat person but I just think these classic album covers recreated with cats are funny. But by posting this on a Saturday does that make this my capitulation to the Caturday craze or do I have to intend to make a Caturday post for it to be one? via Your [...]
