Self Help Guru James Ray arrested for manslaughter
I’ve made no bones about my general disdain for the self-help industry. Like religion, this insidious New Age garbage is populated almost entirely by swindlers praying on people desperate for change and meaning in their lives. Charismatic individuals with silver tongues and easy answers make millions of dollars praying on the weak and offer very [...]

There’s a fantastic article at the Washington Monthly, detailing the struggle for the heart and “soul” of science education in Texas. As you can probably guess, the fight isn’t going too well. The article focuses on Don McLeroy, a pudgy creationist moron who sits on the Texas State Board of Education, and who’s been a major [...]

Monday, December 21, 2009
I should probably resign to the fact that Chuck Norris is insane and leave it at that. Unfortunately, his cult like status in society, helped largely by the fact that “Chuck Norris facts” was an internet phenomenon, seems to allow him a soapbox to preach his insane gospel. His latest tirade is directed against President Obama, who he feels [...]

Friday, December 4, 2009
Here’s a little comic from the creationist hub that is Answers in Genesis, and as you can see, the cartoonist seems deeply confused as to what believing in science actually means. He seems to think that so long as you use technology in your every day life, you must somehow be a strong believer in [...]

Get ready to be humiliated once more, humanity, as some of your brethren believe that a burn mark on a shitty clothing iron is divine proof that an illiterate dessert nomad was the creator of the Universe. Mary Jo Coady lives in Methuen, Massachusetts, and she’s been a Catholic all her life, and feels that [...]

Monday, November 16, 2009
NASA has recently issued a statement calling on the public not to worry about the movie 2012 being scientifically accurate. Really? Is it just me or is the human race insanely stupid? We’re not even into the next decade, and already a bunch of very ignorant and scared people are threatening to take their own lives over [...]

Monday, November 16, 2009
I personally find it pretty painful and embarrassing to listen to D’Sousa talk. At least Wright takes the stance that it could be some mysterious force out there in the Universe that directs evolution (it’s stupid, but lots of really smart people believe in this bullshit). D’Sousa, on the other hand, tries to make the [...]

After having listened to the excellent presentation on the Cosmos of Mr. Lawrence Krauss, listening to this idiot trying to teach something she clearly knows nothing about is almost too painful to bear. If you have a will made of iron, or you’ve already given up on humanity, maybe, just maybe you can make it [...]

Friday, October 23, 2009
If you’ve ever wanted to answer that annoying question, “how could the Universe have formed from nothing”, then watch this video. Lawrence Krauss is funny, informative, and if you watch the entire video (it’s over an hour long, so you might need to pause it a few times), he will blow your fucking mind. Lawrence [...]

Saturday, October 10, 2009
According to Bill’s own logic, because science can’t answer every single question with 100% certainty, he wants science class to include a section that a 2000 year old Jewish Carpenter basically “invented” the Universe, and all life on Earth for his own personal enjoyment. If you want to believe that silly nonsense, knock yourself out. [...]
