I'm going to be on tonight with the HIllbilly Atheist. For those who don't know him, the Hillbilly Atheist is a good ol' boy from Oklahoma who is extremely funny. He has a radio show on the Freethought Media network, which is owned by the Infidel Guy. To listen to the show, click here. On the right hand side an inch or two below the top are three links tha say "Listen At" and it has three speeds, 128K, 48K and 24K. You actually don't need the top speed for it to sound good. We go on the air at 8 pm eastern time.
You can see a profile of the Hillbilly Atheist here and you can download some of his earlier shows here.

I'm going tonight to hang out with an old and dear friend, Don Reese. He's performing this week in Grand Rapids and we always get together when he's anywhere near here. Being on the road sucks and it's always good to have a buddy around to spend the day with, share a meal with, and just talk to.…
Thanks to Fishy Fred for tracking down Bravo's list of the top 100 comedy movies of all time. I caught part of it and wanted to comment on the list. For the most part, I thought the list was abysmal. Four Weddings and a Funeral no higher than 96? Preposterous. Dr. Strangelove only at 53? No way.…
Apparently, Barack Obama did well in the recent primaries, increasing the chances that he'll be the Democratic candidate for president. Right away, we're seeing an old video of an Obama speech (transcript here) being refloated. This is the same speech that prompted me to say I would never vote for…
So, a funny story about this. I posted a snippet of a fantasy story back in August, and enough people said nice things about it that I actually got off my ass and did some playing around to format the full story as an epub. This was, of course, complicated by the fact that computers are awful, but…
Well, Ed, I gave it a shot. And you actually came off sounding intelligent and, by the way, nice baritone. But I have two words for people who want to broadcast either audio or video over the internet, or whatever other alternative channel they find available to them. Production. Values. The way to reach a real audience, not just our version of (please excuse the usage) dittoheads, is to produce something that at least approaches the slickness and quality of, say, an NPR or commercial broadcast. One thought-don't do it live. Get in the studio and record a show, edit it, clean it up, add the effects as necessary, and make something that people might be able to listen to. Just a thought.

I listened. Some of it was funny, but it's my least favorite style of atheist humor and commentary. It reminded me a lot of Madeline Murray O'Hare's show which I watched exactly .5 times.
It makes me shiver with delight when Dawkins talks about the Old Testiment being "a deeply evil book," but this? I don't care for constant ridicule even if the objects of the ridicule really deserve it. It feels like ad hominem to me and I'd rather attack the argument, not the person. I'm stupidly idealistic enough to want to SAVE the person.
Yikes, I certainly don't like being compared to Madilyn Murray O'Hare, a woman I thoroughly despised. I don't mind ridicule when it's deserved, obviously; I mind the assumption that every Christian deserves such ridicule, which is not at all true.
