August 27, 2007 I did not make "Zeitgeist" Apparently there's a rumor going around that I made the movie Zeitgeist. I've been getting a lot of emails about it. For the record, I did not make Zeitgeist or have anything to do with it. I am also still... August 27, 2007 America The beautiful. Good thing the economy's looking up!... August 16, 2007 We won "Do you want the United States to win in Iraq?" It already did win. The U.S. armed forces ousted Saddam Hussein's regime and destroyed his army within weeks after the invasion began. The enemy was defeated. Ever since then, it...

Times is right about the antagonist: When director Seth Gordon and producer Ed Cunningham set out to make a documentary about the world of classic arcade... August 13, 2007 Hey, stupid people Good news: And when it comes to financial distress, smarts are no help at all. People with 140 IQ scores (a score of 100 is average) missed payments and maxed-out their credit cards more often than their lower IQ counterparts.... August 13, 2007 If you watch this... ...be sure you're near a shower. Likely Matthews would defend himself by saying he was merely complimenting a fellow newscaster on her appearance.

August 11, 2007 Excepting, of course, my religious bigotry "We need to have a person of faith lead the country." vs. "Attacks of religious bigotry have absolutely no place in politics today."... August 11, 2007 Ethanol is a very bad joke U.S. ethanol production in 2006 was roughly the equivalent of 64 million barrels of oil. The U.S. consumes 7.5 billion barrels of oil a year. So ethanol -- good ol' impractical, highly subsidized, uses-up-farmland, costs-more-to-make-it-than-it's-worth ethanol -- gave us about... August 07, 2007 The dumbest people on Earth Little in our political discourse is quite so annoying as liberal former war supporters who still refuse to acknowledge the consequences of their past stupidity. Look, you were fucking wrong. There was never a good reason to support the war.... August 07, 2007 Hideous kinky Christians As I predicted, my post below about Christian Domestic Discipline generated some email, but none of it has actually been angry (dammit). One emailer took issue with my categorization of CDD: You referred to CDD as 'kink', and I think... August 07, 2007 Because I don't get enough angry email Noticed in this ScienceBlogs roundup that, with varying degrees of outrage and squirm, Hemant, Greta Christina and Infidelis Maximus have been posting about Christian Domestic Discipline, the practice of Christian men spanking their wives to keep them in a state...
