Disturbance in the blogosphere
Nunzia is disturbed. So disturbed that she is willing to “come out” and tell us who she really is. And all because the day lilies were disappointing and the 1950s were even more wrong than we ever knew. And that’s not the worst of it. Nunzia takes on fake lesbians Tom MacMaster and Bill Graber.
Miscalculation
What? We’re still here? Well, hell’s bells. I guess Harold Camping was wrong about that end of the world thing. I’m sure he’ll figure out where he went wrong, though, and come back with the real date for the end of the world. But unless he comes up with something a few million years from now, we can be quite certain that he’s wrong again.
Now, that doesn’t mean that we won’t blow up the place ourselves before Earth’s natural end comes about. We’ve sure got the capacity to do that, and our own politicians seem to have no problem edging us in that direction whenever and wherever possible.

Good-bye, cruel world
Seein’ as how the world is gonna end later this afternoon, I thought I might say my good-byes. I’ve been very busy getting my affairs in order, not that that matters if the entire world is about to be destroyed, but it has given me something to do.
Now, you all know I’m not the religious sort, but this guy Harold Camping seems to believe that a bunch of earthquakes are going to kill us all later this afternoon. And he’s convinced a bunch more people that it’s true. Maybe it’s something about being almost 90, like Harold, that gives one the appearance they actually know what they’re talking about.
Or maybe it’s just his millions of dollars and nationwide radio network. That or his eerie resemblance to Mr. Burns on The Simpsons.
Right and wrong can’t be measur...
Morality. We liberal/progressive types get a lot of flack for allegedly have loose or bad morals. We know that’s not true, but the reason we get that label is, I think, a skewed idea of what morality is, and, more importantly, what it isn’t.
In my book, the one I haven’t written, morality is a universal trait. And because it’s universal, it has nothing to do with what any man or group of men decide.Cultural norms and customs aren’t morality. Morality is knowing the difference between right and wrong.
