		<title>Reflecting on my economic collapse post from last year</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Damn, I wish I didn&#8217;t end up being right about this&#8230;
On August 15 2007 I wrote this post about the impending economic collapse and how the prez was lying and saying that the economy was fine. Well, I&#8217;ll be damned if it all didn&#8217;t come true.
In paragraph 5 I said &#34;God I hope we don&#8217;t [...]]]></description>

		<title>The Mathematics of God - The Stupidity of &#8220;Intelligent Design&#8221;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[One more installment in my recent anti-religion tirades&#8230;
I recently finished the book &#34;Irreligion: A Mathematician Explains Why the Arguments for God Just Don&#8217;t Add Up&#34; by Jonh Allen Paulos.
It&#8217;s an interesting little book that, through mathematics, quite adeptly destroys all sorts of the supposed &#34;logical&#34; arguments for god. Regardless of the religious implications of the [...]]]></description>

		<title>God&#8217;s Pharmacy - A Lesson In Simple-Minded Bullshit Thinking</title>
		<description><![CDATA[As if to punctuate yesterday&#8217;s post about no more religious nuts in politics, I received further proof that religious nuts are not connected to reality.
I got this chain email entitled &#34;god&#8217;s pharmacy&#34;. It&#8217;s so laughably simple-minded and unintelligent that you&#8217;d almost think it was made to be funny, not to PROVE how smart god is.

		<title>No More Religious People In Government - No More Delusional Leaders</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Religious Should Not And Cannot Be Trusted In Positions of Power.
Religion is a mass delusion that has been perpetrated far too long out of fear, ignorance, and power. I understand that people have been raised (brainwashed) that way (me included), but what continues to shock me is that in this day and age, with [...]]]></description>

The Best Forwarded Email I&#8217;ve received in a Long Time: Canada&#8217;s Tallest Building

&#8220;I know you have a keen interest in architecture so I thought you might be interested in the CN Tower ( Canada &#8217;s National tower ). It is the highest tower in the world. Measuring [...]]]></description>

A while back I received an email with the subject line of &#34;Lies Vs. Truth&#34;. It was one of those chain emails that right-wing type folks so often seem to send around. (I assume it&#8217;s the same demographic who &#34;learns&#34; about politics by talk-radio, because [...]]]></description>

		<title>Healthcare - Has the tide finally shifted?</title>

Healthcare has been on the minds of Americans for the past few years [...]]]></description>

		<title>98 percent of historians say Bush&#8217;s presidency has been a failure</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Well no shit!
&#160;
&#160;
President Bush often argues that history will vindicate him. So he can&#8217;t be pleased with an informal survey of 109 professional historians conducted by the History News Network. It found that 98 percent of them believe that Bush&#8217;s presidency has been a failure, while only about 2 percent see it as a success. [...]]]></description>

This post probably makes me sould [...]]]></description>

I read with horror as I see our freedoms literally being stripped away&#8230;

Middle school issues ban on intentional flatulence
According to this week&#8217;s Fire Cracker school newsletter&#8230;the penalty for &#34;intentional farting&#34; is now a detention.

In a rapid fire test of mental addition, monkeys performed almost as well as college students, showing they&#8217;re no slouches when it comes to number crunching.
The macaques got their sums right 76 percent of the time, while the students got the correct answer 94 percent of the time in a series of increasingly [...]]]></description>

		<title>Why Pregnant Women Don&#8217;t Tip Over</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This is some amazing stuff. A fascinating work of science. If they would teach science this way in school (emphasizing&#160; fun, practical, and/or offbeat applications) then more kids would pay attention in school.
Why pregnant women don&#8217;t tip over
There seems to be more keeping pregnant women upright than fear of toppling over and squishing their unborn [...]]]></description>
