The liberation of the human mind has never been furthered by dunderheads; it has been furthered by gay fellows who heaved dead cats into sanctuaries and then went roistering down the highways of the world, proving to all men that doubt, after all, was safe—that the god in the sanctuary was finite in his power and hence a fraud. One horse-laugh is worth ten thousand syllogisms. It is not only more effective; it is also vastly more intelligent.

I don't believe in New Year's resolutions—they're always so narrow and boring. I'd rather advance some bigger goals. When I was a young fellow, and my father was teaching me how to swing a bat, he'd tell me I shouldn't...

Read the account of Saddam Hussein's last moments—it's a strange thing. Hussein was an evil man, but still, he carried himself at the end with strength and courage and a good amount of anger. The whole scene sounds like it...

The daughter has put up a post with her thoughts on abortion—I swear I have not given her any instruction or even talked about the subject with her, but somehow she has developed roughly the same opinion on it that...

It's hard to believe, but there is more information on the absurd board game designed by Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort. Cameron said, “We are very excited about this game because it presents both sides of the creation evolution argument,...

I don't think I showed this video in the flurry of Architeuthis posts a while back, but if so, it's worth seeing again. It is rather sad how limp and exhausted the poor animal looks as they drag it in....
