Happily, the weapons are PROBABLY too old to be of use. Of course, there are still people who wouldn’t believe these sites existed if ISIS actually USED the weapons. Just a short post today–and, God willing, there won’t be a reason for a follow-up. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iraq/10913275/Isis-storms-Saddam-era-chemical-weapons-complex-in-Iraq.html

Happy Memorial Day
Before you read any farther in the post, if you have not already done so, please spend a moment in silence–or better, prayer–for those who have fallen in service to the United States of America. My own service began 19 years ago in the United States Marine Corps’ Delayed Entry Program. I have served in …
I Was Wrong About Global Warming!
Originally posted on Home of the Little-Known Blogger:
Well, off by a few years. I understood that Solar Cycle 24 had just peaked, and that we were already entering Solar Cycle 25, predicted to be one of the weakest on record. Actually, 24 peaks in 2013, and 25 begins in 2019. However, the peak of…
Godzilla (spoilers)
Well, God knows that I have weightier things to write about, but I’ve been run pretty ragged the last few months. Over the weekend, I took the opportunity to watch the new Godzilla movie. First, the previews: —Maleficent. Post-modern deconstructionist crap. I will not be wasting any money on it, in any venue. –There is …
Religious Freedom, Homosexuality, and Bigotry
So, opponents of Kansas’ RFRA law say that it opens the door for private citizens to sue any government agency for NOT discriminating against people based on “sexual orientation”. Hm. First, that’s not a good use of the word “discrimination”. I’m sure it’s in the dictionary that way now, but what you really mean is …

I thought that they were interesting enough to share, both the questions and my answers. For reference, I was raised in an Evangelical Church (Presbyterian); became an atheist when I went to college; began …

The Law of the Land
“…Obamacare is the law of the land…” –John Boehner (R), Speaker of the House As we move on to the fourth day of the (partial) shutdown of the United States Federal government imposed by the Democratic Party, I find myself mulling over this particular phrase quite a bit. The Republican-controlled house wants to present itself …
Invasions: Syria vs. Iraq
I know I’ve promised several posts which I have not delivered, but I’ve been unbelievably busy lately. As soon as I can get to them, I still think they’re all worthwhile. In the meantime, I wanted to offer a quick thought on the “Invasion of Syria vs. Invasion of Iraq” comparisons which are going through …
Upcoming Posts
I’ve been in an interesting discussion of religion on Twitter today. Since I was already planning a post on “Superstition, Mythology, Faith and Religion”, I’ve also queued up a post on “Religion and Violence”. Another upcoming topic will be an analysis of (or probably, rebuttal to) Wodarz and Komarova’s “Dependence of the Firearm-Related Homicide Rate …
