Rally For Reason
    Well, the Creationist “Museum” opened in Florence, KY last month. It’s a disgrace for our state and a disgrace for our country since “Dr.” Ham, an Australian, found this to be the most receptive site on our planet for his assault on science. The ridiculous notion that the universe is 6000 years old reveals the… Continue reading Rally For Reason
The Crusades
An interesting event occurred at the MEPS (Military Entrance and Processing Station) earlier this week. I’m the Chief Medical Officer there and that’s where I perform accession physicals for people who are interested in joining the military. First, here’s a little background: Prior to shipping to basic training, I perform a quick exam called an… Continue reading The Crusades
Hillary Clinton – Schoolmarm from Hell
I was watching Hillary Clinton speak of her presidential candidacy on TV, and I’m still trying to decide why I just don’t find her likeable. I don’t like some of her policies and I don’t like her pro-Iraq War stance (which she’s currently trying to tortuously spin out of), but I’m a Democrat, and there’s… Continue reading Hillary Clinton – Schoolmarm from Hell

"Little Miss Sunshine"
What a terrific movie! It certainly shows that strong, loving families come in all different shapes and sizes. This was funny and sweet with zero saccharine. As the title of this film otherwise suggests, this is not a “chick-flick†or some kind of feel-good drivel about a precocious, obnoxious or sickeningly sweet child. It’s a… Continue reading "Little Miss Sunshine"
"Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis
I just finished reading “Mere Christianity†by C.S. Lewis. While initially reading it, I felt quite disappointed in Lewis’ tortured logic, twisted metaphors, and simplistic deductions. There is really a spectacular dearth of reason. He dismisses virtually all but Christian belief (except non-Christian belief systems which share similarities with Christianity), and makes sweeping generalizations supported… Continue reading "Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis
