A landmark in Oz world

Saturday, November 25th, 2006

Oz and I were at the library the other day, and he playing something on one of the computers in the kids' room.  There was a boy who was maybe two years younger sitting at the next computer trying to use it.  He points to Oz and says, "I want ...

Civil confinement for perverts gets a setback

Friday, November 24th, 2006

Following up on my past defending of the scum of society from having their civil protections under the rule of law revoked because we really don't like what they've done (see the earlier posts More erosion of the rule of law and No civil liberty protection for perverts), the New ...

The morning after the morning after

Thursday, November 9th, 2006

Wow. The Dems pull out the big upset in the Senate too, barring major vote fraud on a recount in Virginia. So Rumsfeld is thrown out the back of the pickup truck as it speeds away from the scene of the crime. They'll scapegoat him for the failures in ...

The morning after

Wednesday, November 8th, 2006

So, the Dems take the house by a larger margin than most people guessed, come close to sweeping the Governors' races, and even control of the Senate is hanging in the balance with a couple of very tight races. Locally, neophyte Gillibrand takes down the wife-beating dickhead Sweeney; and, ...

Straight talk from Dr. J

Sunday, November 5th, 2006

Dennett back from the brink of death

Friday, November 3rd, 2006

Dan Dennett, famous philosopher-atheist (is that redundant?) had a brush with death recently (a "dissection of the aorta"), and now writes about it (Thank Goodness!). Did he give up his atheism when on death's door? What do you think? Here's a bit of his report: Had I had ...

Political commentary under a nom de plume

Thursday, November 2nd, 2006

Oz has begun writing political commentary. I swear, we did not explicitly coach him on this in any way. We just found the note sitting on the dining room table. I mean, I'm not saying that we don't say things like this in front of him. After all, we believe ...
