Dawkins Camp

I’m on record as thinking Richard Dawkins has made some serious errors in his Atheism outreach. This, however, strikes me as a good idea.

The emphasis on critical thinking is epitomised by a test called the Invisible Unicorn Challenge. Children will be told by camp leaders that the area around their tents is inhabited by two unicorns. The activities of these creatures, of which there will be no physical evidence, will be regularly discussed by organisers, yet the children will be asked to prove that the unicorns do not exist. Anyone who manages to prove this will win a £10 note – which features an image of Charles Darwin, the father of evolutionary theory – signed by Dawkins, a former professor of the public understanding of science at Oxford University.

The Messiah’s Epic Fail

His domestic policies are hideous failures sure to do lasting damage to America, but at least His foreign policy is suicidal and naive.

“We are surprised at Mr. Obama,” Ahmadinejad said. “Didn’t he say that he was after change?

Every Islamic barbarian in the world is laughing at us. Weakness is provocative. Just remember, all you who voted for The One, the next attack is on your heads.

Update:

David Pryce-Jones sees the mistakes the Mullahs and the Brits, and The One, are making.

The length of time that passes before some British or even American official says that none of this bears on willingness to enter negotiations over the Iranian nuclear program will be the measure of Western defeatism and masochism. And the mullahs will then conclude that they have only to extend the chain of mistakes and lying.

I Love This Country

Because no other country, no other civilization in the world, could come close to producing this:

Update:

I just found out that it was edited by the ex boyfriend of a guy I work with. I think there’s a blog post (or a Ph. D. thesis) to be written about the fascination with the original video, which you should see before watching the above mashup. It’s captured the minds of many but, apparently, not so many as in the homosexual community. Knowing why that is would be interesting. I have some theories, but no time to think it out and write it all down just yet.

For any (Hi, mom!) who thought the video was making fun of Mayberry, you should know that I actually like this Beyoncé tune. It’s really catchy, and the lyrics that say “if you’d like an exclusive relationship you’d better marry me” are a lot better than typical hip-hop fare. I think the musical confluence between the two songs is really fun.

The Cap-N-Traitors

Eight RINOs helped Pelosi screw the country.

Bono Mack (CA)
Castle (DE)
Kirk (IL)
Lance (NJ)
LoBiondo (NJ)
McHugh (NY)
Reichert (WA)
Smith (NJ)

Make them pay.

Meanwhile, please tell me how this is possibly legal.

Nobody could have read the bill the House passed last night because there is no bill.  There apparently wasn’t time to pull together a finished product that accounted for the hundreds of pages of amendments because of Pelosi’s headlong rush to slam this lunacy through before anybody had a chance to learn what was actually in it. So there is no “it” that all the pages and pages of words can be found “in.”  Democrats have passed a concept — not a bill.
