He's late to the party, but that's OK

Jason pitches into that twit, Peter Hitchens—you may recall that I dealt with the same column a while back, but that level of stupid does support double-teaming to counter it, I think.

In this WEEK in TECH episode 197 there was a pretty good discussion about education and the university system. In case you are not familiar with TWiT, it is a tech-based podcast with Leo Laporte (from the old Screen Savers show). If you want to listen to their discussion, it starts about half-way…
Why, oh why do I despise Christianity so much? Look to George Berkin to understand why. And if you can't understand, you're probably one of those Christians. He's got a long article up arguing that God is being good to Christopher Hitchens by afflicting him with a lingering disease, because it will…
I hope I didn't catch something in the Antipodes. There seems to be something awful going around down there: Ken Ham, Ray Comfort, and now…Gary Ablett, Sr. He's an Australian rules footballer with a few seedy drug-related incidents in his past — he's also a world-class moron. He's just written a…

Stupid, or crazy like a fox? These fools are performing a service: they are preaching to the choir and serving up false hope to those delusional enough to accept it. And, people give them money to do it.

Wow! You people are really scared o Hitchens, aren't you?

I saw Peter Hitchens recently on a British tv program hosted by David Starkey (who's one of us). The format is that Starkey & three guests dicuss a couple of topical issues - 10 minutes or so each topic.

They talked about societal drugs problems. Hitchens was a fool. He seems to be a slave to ideology.
