I haven’t written about the so-called elevator-gate situation, and probably never will. I feel that all the important things that could be said, have been said (in a sea of shit that probably shouldn’t have been said). I grew bored of the discussion early on – despite the fact that I’m a feminist and ‘picked …

This month, my blog has been the vehicle of successful crowd-sourced activism. Twice. Obviously, I know my place. I had a few eye-catching titles, some ‘right place right time’ information etc. The real champions are the anonymous masses at the news aggregating sites (reddit, stumbleupon) and other social networking sites (twitter, facebook). Take a bow, internet. …

The University of North Carolina at Greensboro campus has a very active Atheists group. UNCG- Atheists, Agnostics, Skeptics are a chapter of the Secular Student Alliance, so it’s not surprising to hear that they are up to some meaningful activism. They have attracted some veterans of their own, and decided to actually do something meaningful …

I just got a head’s up from Mark Dingbaum at Change.org announcing the news. It seems that the VA Hospital in Dallas is doing the right thing. Nurse Nanci Pandathurai has been suspended from seeing patients. To be clear, she is still going to work while the investigation concludes. Her duties will now be more …

American Atheists is proud to announce that Glenwood Elementary in the McDowell County (NC) School District, has apologized for the unconstitutional “I love Jesus because ___” controversy.

This is about 5 minutes after I landed back in the Fort Bragg area. Perhaps ‘happy’ isn’t the right word. My daughter Zoe is also learning to say “Not the mama.” Zoe, if you are reading this years from now… that was a reference to this TV show:

The Air Force has just announced its support of what has to be a diploma mill. I’m all for the DoD spending money on useful education opportunities for service members. I’m glad that there is serious talk of an incentive to hire veterans. But this is just one more thing that should really be stopped …

Pro-tip, never say that when you are in the maternity ward. When my daughter Zoe was born, I made that remark. I was trying to make my wife smile and take her mind off the pain. The nurse yelled at me. She told me that I was way off base. The nurse told me that …

Notice how nobody else in the room seems to care… I mean it’s either true and “OH NO!” or she’s lying and “Lying is a sin, stfu!” But you decide: I can’t believe that the lady in the middle acts like that. She just heard about 80 foot demons attacking her friend. First question: “I’m trying …

I think atheism is completely refuted now that photos of god are everywhere. Not photoshopped. Sorry guys, we were wrong.
The free festival on Fort Bragg's Main Post Parade Field was a massive success! Expect updates, highlights, and other footage over the next few months.
UPDATE: A second festival is in the works for Camp Pendleton - a large Marine Corps base near San Diego, CA. Summer 2013
