Baghdad Bob is alive and well and living in Seattle
I’m on the Discovery Institute’s mailing list, and they send me lots of crap. The latest was dunning me for money like most of them, and also promoting some bogus seminar series for “cultural leaders”, but what was most striking was how delusional they’re getting. I’ve highlighted a few telling phrases. As our faithful followers …

The Ice Age in the Bible
Every time I despair at the dreadful nonsense from the Discovery Institute, I can reliably turn to Answers in Genesis and despair harder. They’ve just announced that “after two centuries of research”, they’ve finally determined the dates of the Ice Age. They’ve even announced that they’re going to have a chat on their facebook page …

Why should anyone have to read your goofy holy book?
This is truly getting ridiculous. The Independent has published a story claiming that atheists face an Islamophobia backlash, and the first thing I have to do is take exception to the premise. A “backlash”? Seriously? Dawkins has been hit with this “backlash” nonsense from the day The God Delusion hit the stands in 2006; he …

They make ‘em dumb in Texas
Really dumb. Like mega super ultra stupid. That’s the slogan on bumper stickers for his re-election campaign. The only things dumber than Stockman are the people who’d still vote for him. He’s a Republican, obviously.

Joe Barton has data!
The Rethuglican from Texas wants us all to appreciate the diversity of causes behind climate change. It might be natural, it might be human-caused, and it might just be magic. I would point out that if you’re a believer in in the Bible, one would have to say the Great Flood is an example of …

Jesus, the biologist
Oh, joy…yet another bible-walloping lackwit claiming that god hates gay marriage…and this time he claims to have a biological justification. “You only have 15 percent of the middle who are hypocrites, who think, Jesus is cool, but I don’t agree with how he defined marriage,” Klingenschmitt said. “When Jesus talks about one flesh, he’s really …

For the gentlemen in the audience only
Ladies, this is a delicate subject, and I’ll have to ask you to step out of the room for a bit while the men talk among themselves.

Virginia is for lovers…of similar skin tone and opposite sex who don’t touch each other’s genitals with anything other than their own
The worst attorney general in the world has to be Virginia’s Ken Cuccinelli, who has been on a crusade to promote a far right conservative social agenda. The Washington Post wrote that Cuccinelli has been ”the most overtly partisan Attorney General in Virginia history” and ”has waged war on Obamacare, harassed climate-change scientists, sanctioned discrimination …

You’re letting me down, atheists
I’ve never been surprised at a conference by anything like this: Ken Ham got a certificate for fighting the “principalities and powers of darkness.” He [the creationist with the award] told the conference audience gathered at Quentin Road Bible Baptist Church that his creation group, Midwest Creation Fellowship, had passed a resolution—which they called a …
