Which Gun Owner is Responsible for Kevin Jervey Hudgens’ Death?
September 30th, 2011 
Greg Laden Kevin killed himself playing Russian Roulette with what I must assume he thought was an empty gun. The gun was not empty, but even if it was he should not have been playing Russian Roulette with it. Bottom line: A handgun was in the hands of a person who should not have had access to [...]
The Magic of Reality
September 29th, 2011 Greg Laden The Magic of Reality: How We Know What’s Really True looks good. I did need to watch the video twice to get the bad taste out of my mouth, but we must move forward and I don’t see that situation changing any time soon.
Misuse of Twitter as a Tool
September 29th, 2011 Greg Laden People will get mad at me, disown me, hate me, and perhaps even tweet me if they think that I’m suggesting for a moment that anyone should ever not do whatever comes to mind when using any social media. Of course I don’t think that. If you have a twitter account, a facebook page, whatever, [...]
Rebecca Watson: I love you, stand by you, and won’t tell mom about the infantile bloggers and commenters
September 29th, 2011 Greg Laden Just go read this. And then do something about it.
No Soap, Radio!
September 29th, 2011 Greg Laden Don’t miss these two upcoming events: Sketpically Speaking: Changing Planet This week, we’re looking at the medical effects of global climate change. We’re joined by Dan Ferber and Paul Epstein, to talk about their book Changing Planet, Changing Health: How The Climate Crisis Threatens our Health, and What We Can Do About It. And on [...]
“I think I might be a bisexual, what do I do now?”
September 29th, 2011 Greg Laden This is one of the most commonly asked questions on the internet (judging by it’s position in various search engine listings). The answer of course, is, “be bisexual, then.” But a related question that I used to hear more often a few years back but less so these days is this one: “Is everyone basically [...]
Finally, some solid data on god.
September 29th, 2011 Greg Laden Sometimes, when you put it all on a graph, it makes total sense!
American Cancer Society and Atheism
September 29th, 2011 Greg Laden The American Cancer Society does not want your money if you are an Atheist. But that doesn’t really matter because Atheists are generally pretty smart and already knew that the American Cancer Society is not the best place to give your money. Let me say right away that if you are going to give away [...]
Make the NHL Do the Right Thing
September 28th, 2011 Greg Laden Who cares about hockey. A bunch of guys sliding around on ice whacking each other with sticks and trying to pretend like they are not fighting when the whole point is fighting. Trogs on ice. But I digress.

14 Comments »Michele Bachmann should refund her salary
September 28th, 2011 Greg Laden Ripple in Stillwater has been keeping track: Michele Bachmann has failed to show up for work in Congress 58.7 percent of the time since July 1, missing 145 out of 247 roll call votes. The last time Bachmann even cast a vote was August 1. If we were to pay our goldbricking congresswoman on a [...]
Fencing with doorknocking evangelists
September 28th, 2011 Greg Laden … earlier this month, something quietly snapped as I listened to two Jehovah’s Witnesses at my door. Actually, I only listened to one — there’s always a Talker and what I guess you’d call…a witness. The Talker had started by reading me a weirdly mundane verse from Psalms, then asked for my reaction. What follows [...]
Edit the Pledge
September 28th, 2011 Greg Laden Edit the Pledge of Allegiance to remove the phrase “Under God” The Pledge of Allegiance is said every day in schools across America. It is a government sanctioned speech, and should remain neutral in matters of religion. In its current state, it supports the existence of God, which goes against several religions, and supports others. [...]
Illegal Banned Book Library In a Private School
September 28th, 2011 Greg Laden This, if real, is over the top cool. I go to a private school that is rather strict. Recently, the principal and school teacher council released a (very long) list of books we’re not allowed to read. I was absolutely appalled, because a large number of the books were classics and others that are my [...]
Stop the newest attack on Planned Parenthood
September 28th, 2011 Greg Laden The extreme anti-choice members of Congress have launched yet another all-out attack on Planned Parenthood. This time, Congressman Cliff Stearns, as Chairman of the House oversight committee, has initiated a massive investigation into the activities of Planned Parenthood and its affiliates based on the blatantly incorrect assertion by rightwing activists that Planned Parenthood misuses federal [...]
This is Banned Book Week: Which ones have you read?
September 28th, 2011 Greg Laden Banning books is so hard to do these days that the new phrase we use is “challenged.” Which makes sense. I mean, really does a list of books banned in North Korea or Iran have any purpose other than pointing out the obvious? What is more interested is seeing which books get challenged by self [...]
Homophobia? There’s an app for that…
September 28th, 2011 Greg Laden I am not surprised but I am annoyed. Google’s Android Marketplace is selling smartphone owners of all ages an app which promises to answer what they think is a pressing question: “Is My Son Gay?” If we alert the Google team to this outrageous questionnaire, we’re sure they’ll do the right thing and shut it [...]
