  Over the holidays, I stayed at home for a combination of some relaxation and some grant writing. (I know, weird.)

  It’s particularly ironic (” it’s like raaaeeeaaaiiiiin “) when even the NY Times calls your liberal policy a failure: The Obama administration’s $75 billion program to protect homeowners from foreclosure has been widely pronounced a disappointment, and some economists and real estate experts now contend ...

  Heaving Dead Cats — Authority: 427
  Yesterday my local atheists group met and talked about many different topics. One question a woman asked was something I think most people who give up god and the supernatural have to face.

  The San Francisco Chronicle reports that Bay Area Biblical “scholar” Harold Camping predicts that the rapture will occur on May 21, 2011.
