Mitt Romney Is No Longer A Mormon.
February 8th, 2012
Daniel Fincke 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
February 7th, 2012
Daniel Fincke 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 [...]

February 4th, 2012

You Know I Usually Hate Wes Anderson Movies…
January 12th, 2012
Daniel Fincke …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
January 11th, 2012
Daniel Fincke 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
January 6th, 2012
Daniel Fincke 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
December 3rd, 2011
Daniel Fincke 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
December 2nd, 2011
Daniel Fincke What kinds of philosophers choose the name for their school of philosophy from the word for dogs?

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?
November 26th, 2011
Daniel Fincke 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 [...]
