Dispatches from the Culture Wars: Hovind Not Allowed to Travel

Dispatches from the Culture Wars: Hovind Not Allowed to Travel Dispatches from the Culture Wars (a place I skulk a lot through RSS) has an update on Kent Hovind's glee inducing troubles. (Through Pensacola News ) Now he had to surrender his passport. I've previously mused about what Hovind's passport says, citizenship wise. As a citizen of god, how does he have a US passport in the first place. Moves in mysterious ways, as they say.

'End Times' Religious Groups Want Apocalypse Soon - Los Angeles Times

There are some real whack-a-doodles out there and they are becoming a larger part of the vocal segment of the US population. And that's a problem for the rest of us. 'End Times' Religious Groups Want Apocalypse Soon - Los Angeles Times

Park owner pleads not guilty to tax fraud | Local News | PensacolaNewsJournal.com Guess who I'm thinking of? Dr Dino himself, the Flintstone paleontologist. Why is it that when ever I read anything about this guy I inevitably run into some other twit just as bad. I'm thinking of his fellow anti-evilutionist, Dr Jason Gastrich. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you see a fair amount of commentary with only a few defenders of either one of them. From the linkage provided it turns out that Jason Gastrich is a carbon copy of Flintstone-philiac. Speaking of Hovind, in a post somewhat about him, he tried to plea "suborned of false muster." I like the section of the Pensacola news article where the reporter, failing to find it referenced in a legal dictionary, has to parse the plea word by word to figure out what the frak he's banging on about. Here's what dictionary.law.com says about pleas: plea n. 1) in criminal law, the response by an accused defendan...

Freethought Today, March 2006

Freethought Today, March 2006 Believe it or not there is a bill in Wisconsin that would basically ban Intelligent Design Creationism from the science classrooms in the state. The act maintains that to be in the science curriculum the content must be 1) testable 2) is limited to natural 3) consistent with National Academy of Sciences definitions. Beauty. Money Quote: Prof. Alan Attie, who teaches biochemistry, said the bill puts Wisconsin on the map in opposing creationism. As he put it to Judith Davidoff of The Capital Times: "We can be the un-Kansas." Beauty. Hat tip: The Uncredible Hallq

This is how I feel most days.

Our neighbourhood in south London is fairly quiet, fairly safe. It's an uneventful end of the city that has little happening in it but for a few days a year when Wimbledon tennis blows through the neighbourhood two train stops away. We're in the middle of that maelstrom, though it's only really that busy near the station and along Wimbledon Park Road where the shuttle buses run. I'm actually not really going to say much about Wimbledon, the neighbourhood, the park or the tennis courts/games. I've been up doing a little shopping but that's about it. But animals are a big thing around this part of London and they occupy my thoughts a lot. The local Wandsworth brewery, Young's, recently folded up production, but it did something special until recently: it locally delivered the beer by horse-drawn carriage. Now that's something you don't see everyday, anymore. On the horsey front, periodic police patrols wander by on horse. I've been walking the dog...
