Sunday morning, 9am Central time: Atheists Talk radio asks whether atheists can now relax, since Obama will soon be in office. I think you know the answer to that one: no. We’ll have to tune in to see what Lori Lipman Brown has to say!

PZ is my hero.
The number of theists in the United States is still above 70%. The time when atheists can relax is not indicated by the presidency, but rather by the belief of the people. Well, at least in democratic nations.
Ah yes, Sunday mornings, when I get to use my ‘secret zipcode’ game cheat to unlock the magic chamber holding all the best of the atheist’s special armor.
Enjoy.
That is 15:00 UTC, and here’s the obligatory fixed time converter link. I’ll also note that the MNatheists seem to be located in 55406, in case anyone is interested.
I can’t imagine we’ll have the luxury of being able to “relax” any time soon. Obama is an improvement over what we had, though, to be sure.
If you subscribe to the podcast you don’t need the zipcode, and you also avoid increasing the peak demand on the radio station’s server(s).
(The downside is that you don’t get to listen live, but that only matters if you want to call in or email during the show.)
Tim Fuller @ 3,

Given the rest of his appointments, I am having trouble taking seriously the idea that the ‘science’ team is anything MORE than a sop to the lib/prog/enviro crowd, and that they’ll be isolated, and neutered, enough so that they–especially the academics–will walk away from the whole thing in frustration within a year or so.
After which Mr.O can appoint more Salazars, Duncans, and Clintons to those posts, rationalizing that by appeals to the frailty of the former appointees, and their ‘inability’ to work cooperatively with industry…
Off topic, please excuse:
The most recent Scientific American magazine is devoted to evolution, natural selection and Darwin. So far, it’s really, really well done.
Great radio program today. The Council for Secular Humanism is not delusional about the change of administration in Washington. Church and State seperation issues apply to all of us.
Dam, I overslept after staying up too late lat night with disbursing the news about my documented MIRACLE – see above.
I’ll catch it in archives I guess.
Enjoy.
Obama supported an earmark for Teen Challenge – an organization that until recently linked to the Exodus ex-gay ministries. After I called them out on this on the Minneapolis Issues list, they scrubbed the link from their site.
Minnesota Teen Challenge also has a bizarre stand on Halloween:

Klobuchar proposed – and got a 500,000 earmark for this program. Barack proposed an earmark for this program also.
