In case you’ve been living under a rock for the past several days, USDA worker Shirley Sherrod was forced out of her job over a conveniently clipped fragment of a speech from 2006 posted on Andrew Breitbart’s blog (whom I won’t link, the execrable toad) that painted her as an anti-white racist, and turned into …

Straight from my childhood, Thexder Neo
Long ago in days of yore, I was given as a birthday gift my first computer — a DOS-based Tandy 1000 EX from Radio Shack, with 256kb of RAM and a blazing 8088 processor. It was one of the first computers to support EGA, though it used the proprietary Tandy graphics adapter protocol. And it …

Most Certainly Not Haunted
For crap’s sake. How can anyone believe this Most Haunted? Or any other ghost hunting show, for that matter? It’s so obvious that the lady on the left is moving the table. Next time get a motorized table, or at least lose the tablecloth so you can’t tell as easily when your hand movements precede …

Oh, I mean, you …

Red Dead Rideable Donkey Ladies and other nonsense
We’ve been having buckets of fun with our new television, PS3 and Red Dead Redemption since we got it last week. Case in point, Jodi just started playing, and she immediately vaulted over the second story railing in the saloon and almost landed on someone, all in an effort to make it out the door …

Three resources in fighting the skeptical fight
In the afterglow err… aftermath of the non-debate discussion had on my last post demolishing astrology’s foundation, there are several posts you would benefit from reading, for various reasons. First, What You’re Doing Is Important, by Surly Amy of Skepchick. We skeptics are not contrarians, we try to make the world a safer place and …
