One of my favorite bands of all time is the band “everybodyduck.” They have (usually) fun, bouncy songs with masterful musician, and insightful, often witty, lyrics. Recently, I lucked up the web site of their lead singer, Darin McWaters. On this site, I found they’re giving away (sort of) their music (they have a PayPal …
Q: Why does Bob Stoops eat his chili on a plate? A: If it were in a bowl, he’d choke.
I don’t get Calvinism. At all. There are several things that just don’t seem to make sense at all to me, if we assume that the Calvinist view of predestination is correct.

What are his policy goals and initiatives? What experience does he have that qualifies him for the highest office in the land? (The answer is …

Intelligent Design, or simply ID, is a pretty fascinating area of study to me. Put simply, it postulates that life is too complex to have arisen by chance, and that the intricacies we can observe in the physical world demand that some sort of intelligence was involved in its creation. Despite all of the scientists …
After (too many) years of reading Slashdot fairly regularly, today I removed it from my feed reader. The signal-to-noise ratio has gotten really, really bad (and has been forever), and I finally got tired of it.
