TSA: makin me feel safer or NOT

Okay.  I get airport safety regulations; I really do.  I travel a lot for work; I get it.  However, it is days like yesterday that make me go, “Da’ hell???”
Years ago it used to be that you could take rediculous things on a flight–as carryon.  I used to fly with an entire strolling juggling show [...]

New Year’s Eve in Kentucky???

Ah yes, back to lovely Kentucky for the New Year. I thought I’d had my fill of Kentucky back in October, but it looks like I get to go back for dessert. It seems that there are New Year parties in Prestonburg and they need entertainment. Another actor who was supposed to [...]

Was there a Communist uprising I missed?

I am an Anti-Communist!
Your only Non-Communist Third Party Slave Freedom Alliance candidate for President of The United States, seeking the Libertarian, Constitution, Southern, Goldwater-Reagan Conservative, Independent, Reform and Boston Tea Party nominations.
I love this! That’s quite a bloc of voters he’s after. Really if that’s all the votes he’s after, why even [...]

DaveTard’s Exam Primer

Dave Scott Springer, blog czar of the very amusing Uncommon Descent, has invited me to look him up when I roll through town on my current tour. I’m very much looking forward to this. {edit:}Steve Story, at After the bar Closes, wondered what it would be like to actually test Dave’s knowledge in some [...]

Joe G., Classic case of why we think IDiots are Idiots

In this comical thread at Intelligent Reasoning (I know, get the laughter out before clicking the link.), we have Joe G. trying to avoid answering the question, “Why do you think that scientists are raving lunatics who know nothing about science?”

What happened to Pro-active Education?

The past week or so in the schools have been an eye-opener to me. Not in a good way, I might add. I have been stunned to see the almost complete disinterest in directing the education of young children. I will start by saying that I have no formal education schooling, but [...]

Paul Nelson Pontificates Over Oklahoma Airwaves

Ah, yes. We’re in Oklahoma now…actually for a few days now. Go Tulsa! A couple brief things before we get to Paul Nelson and Intelligent Design.

In which I try to figure out why I ate school lunch

It is a long and complicated journey, beginning as most long and complicated journeys do: at The Department of Motor Vehicles.
You see, we’re touring the country in a vehicle with expired tags. Why would we be such idiots, you may ask? Well, Janell’s tags expired in October–whilst we were on the road–and a [...]
