    Favorite Bible Translation?

    I'm not a theist, but I do see the Bible as foundational to Western society in more ways than one, and literature is one of those Western traditions which is rooted deeply in that text. For that reason, I love the 1599 Geneva translation; despite its at times anti-Catholic bias, I find its prose...

    The Nominees for The Biggest Election Night Meltdown Are ??

    Lena Dunham 'The three hours I spent at the Javits Center Tuesday night, surrounded by campaign staffers and fellow surrogates for Hillary Clinton, are blurred and spotty. At a certain point it became clear something had gone horribly wrong. Celebrants' faces turned. The modeling had been...

    Lindsey Graham suggests Ted Cruz for the Supreme Court

    "Trump with his pragmatic real-life record is a far more palatable national figure than Ted Cruz, whose unctuous, vainglorious professions of Christian piety don’t pass the smell test. Trump is a blunt, no-crap mensch, while Cruz is a ham actor, doling out fake compassion like chopped liver...

    Lindsey Graham suggests Ted Cruz for the Supreme Court

    From someone who unironically uses the epithet 'Trump-tard', that's incredibly rich.

    Lindsey Graham suggests Ted Cruz for the Supreme Court

    I'd rather see the Supreme Court burn down than see Lyin' Ted sitting on the Bench. And I'm as ardent a Trump supporter as you'll find.

    New York Times publisher vows to 'rededicate' paper to reporting honestly[W:15]

    Re: New York Times publisher vows to 'rededicate' paper to reporting honestly The demise of media prestige has definitely been one of my favorite outcomes of this election. Too little, too late.

    China, Japan, Russia, & South Korea Plan Renewable Energy Super Grid

    Lol, probably won't happen. People aren't going to invest billions of dollars in a cooperative enterprise when East Asia is set to be the stage of the next major geopolitical face-off. People have been talking about these sorts of things for decades, but they never really materialize for that...

    President-Elect Trump on Sixty Minutes

    They were beyond a doubt watching, lol. Why does everyone assume that they're uninformed, politically detached idiots?

    We Told You So

    When does Atheism Become a Belief System

    Most humans are incapable of existing outside of a 'belief system', that's why anti-belief movements tend to pick up all of the characteristic of belief remarkably quickly. The sort of concerted action which goes into the formation of such movememnts necessarily cultivates the very psychological...

    Do you understand the purpose of the electoral college? Do you agree with it?

    There's a simple test to see if someone actually opposes the Electoral College on principle, or is just whining because they lost an election. Do they oppose our bicameral legislature on principle? Because they are rooted in the exact same principle. The House represents population, the Senate...

    Donald Trump signals he will end US support for Syrian rebels [W:37]

    It was never meant to do anything but punish Russia for being 'naughty' in Ukraine. It was geopolitical chess being played by novices, and they predictably screwed everything up. The original goal was to counterbalance Russia. That started with NATO expansion dozens of years ago, which Kennan...

    Trump won because college-educated Americans are out of touch

    'In my experience, many professors and college students don’t even realize that their views on political issues rely on a particular philosophical or theological stance' So true. Even in higher education, the Trivium is almost completely ignored. First principles are never stressed. Belloc...
