I Hate God - Here’s Why

Why is pleasure always fleeting but pain is often chronic?
The Buddha said that the root of suffering was attachment to this world, and that it was necessary to become unattached to this world in order to rise above it.
The Buddha can blow me.

A Little Death

The Kid’s favorite gerbil died tonight.
The Wife picked him out of the cage and was holding him when he leapt from her hands. He broke his back, and had to be euthanized at a vet emergency room.
A 3 week old gerbil. The Wife is wracked with guilt. I’m left to wonder Why?
Was it so much […]

Lileks has an interesting piece on 2005 in American Enterprise Online:

La Republique francaise Islamique

France continues to burn - for a 7th day. Yesterday the French Minister of Social Cohesion Jean-Louis Borloo “said the government had to react “firmly” but added that France must also acknowledge its failure to have dealt with anger simmering in poor suburbs for decades.”
Minister of Social Cohesion? Minister of Equal Opportunities?
I have […]

Yet More on Intelligent Design

Intelligent Design
Some subjects suck me into them, I’m not sure why. It’s not like I’m a Great Debater or anything, that I hope to sway others with my logic and charm. Nevertheless there is a handful of subjects that I really feel passionate about, and Science is one of them. If you want an argument, […]

Alcoholism

I’m a friend of Bill W. If you know what that means, you’ll realize that I am repeating myself when I state that I can’t drink anymore. Well, I can - but I also can put a loaded gun to my head and pull the trigger and get the same results, only much quicker and […]

Nazi Punks

This story about a Nazipalooza in Arizona is both funny and chilling. It starts with a story about a Hispanic kid who apparently doesn’t quite fully understand the message of hate. Money quote goes to Tommy Metzger, Fuhrer-in-Charge, or rather to the shirt he was wearing: “Some People Are Alive Simply Because It’s Illegal to […]

More on Terry Schindler-Schiavo.

The more I read about Terry Schindler-Schiavo, the more suspicious I get. Terry’s father appeared on Fox News at the same time her husband was on CNN’s Larry King. He claims that the husband has refused rehabilitation and treatment for his wife over the past 13 years, and produced a neurologist who was appointed to […]
