Creation Museum
What is this, then? A reproduction of a childhood fantasy in which dinosaurs are friends of inquisitive youngsters? The kind of fantasy that doesn’t care that human beings and these prefossilized thunder-lizards are usually thought to have been separated by millions of years? No, this really is meant to be more like one of those literal dioramas of the traditional natural history museum, an imagining of a real habitat, with plant life and landscape reproduced in meticulous detail.

a good way to laugh without wasting money
Early in the museum, the visitor is given advice on the proper mind frame to have for your visit: “Don’t think, just listen and believe”. They also rejoice in knowing that they will repopulate the earth after the flood with some more…… you guessed it: HOT INCEST ACTION!!!
Dangerous books
Children in the old days were allowed and encouraged to experiment with mildly risky but extremely rewarding activities. Today’s children, on the other hand, are mollycoddled to the point of turning them into unhappy ignoramuses.
Obama Myspace
By the time of Obama’s official campaign announcement, Anthony’s Obama profile–which had the valuable url of myspace.com/barackobama–already had more than 30k friends, well more than the other contenders. Over the following weeks, it continued to grow at a rapid pace, generating lots of headlines about Obama winning the “MySpace primary.” Yesterday, the profile had just over 160k friends. Today, that url has only ~12K. And it’s under new ownership. Joe Anthony, one of the super volunteers of the Connected Age, has lost control of the page he started to the professionals on Obama’s staff.

the US military issuing a press release about a religious service in which “the Spirit of God moves in and grips men and women in such a way that suddenly the community becomes God-conscious.”
Circumcise the Shechemites!
The U.N. is actually recommending that adult males in Africa be circumcised, and New York City is considering the same. This is astonishing, not only because it is wacky science, but because it is the quintessential 3000 years-old example of wacky science.
i bet the us mullahs are behind this nonsense
Expand the AMT!
The AMT is a flat tax, it’s broad-based, it doesn’t allow for deduction of state and local taxes (which only increases the incentive of states and localities to raise taxes) and it’s simple. The AMT should be reformed but overall it’s a much better tax than the current income tax.
