Why do NASCAR fans hate our troops?
Several NASCAR fans booed two women who were announcing the start of a race (with the famous words “Gentlemen, Start Your Engines!!”). The women were part of the “Joining Forces” initiative, which is in support of military families. The women stood next to retired Army Sgt. Andrew Barry, who was wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.
It is unclear why NASCAR fans hate America.
“Gentlemen Shall Lean to the Left”
Today, you get into a car and just drive. In the old, old days, you walked. Somewhere in between, you could, under certain circumstances, get in a stagecoach and go somewhere.
I’ve never done that (well, actually, I have, but that’s another story), but I have spent a lot of time flying around in tiny airplanes that get filled to capacity with weight in the form of humans and their luggage. When you do that, the pilots tend to weigh everything and add it up to make sure they know exactly how much there is and to not go over some limit, and they tend to put things where they want them. I’ve seen pilots ask a particularly large or small person to sit in a particular seat, for instance. The point of doing that is not only to control weight, but also to achieve balance (mainly between the front and back ends of the aircraft).
Just what does “Facebook” think we are all doing, anyway?
Well, this is interesting. Facebook just did the strangest thing. Continue reading Just what does “Facebook” think we are all doing, anyway?

This week on Atheist Talk Radio, I’ll be interviewing Shawn Lawrence Otto, who has just launched his book, “Fool Me Twice: Fighting the Assault on Science in America
We’ll speak about Shawn’s book as well as the current state of climate change research and the related politics. I guarantee a lively and enlightening conversation.
If you are in the Twin Cities, please, join us at Q. Cumbers for brunch. If you bring a copy of Shawn’s book and a pen you can get it signed!
We would also like to note that this Sunday’s Q. Cumbers brunch will be also be a meet-up of a different kind. There will be at least three FTB.com (Free Thought Blogs) bloggers at the brunch, Stephanie (who is also hosting the radio show), Moi, and coming down from Canada with his wife Jodi, will be Jason.

Michele Bachmann, You’ve Had A Gaffe. Or two.
Michele Bachmann claims she’s never had a gaff, and therefore should be the Republican to run against Obama.
Michele, here is a short list of your gaffs, mainly covering only recent ones:

Why do Republicans hate America and the Earth?
This is a bit long but you will benefit from watching all of it. It gets extra hot at 31:30.
I love the look on that woman’s face at 31:38 and again at 31:47. LOL.
This particular member of congress, Don Young from Alaska, needs to get unelected. Frank J. Vondersaar seems to be the guy running against him, and this seems to be his web site. You can donate money to help Frank’s campaign here.
I was originally made aware of this testimony from a blog post at Get Energy Smart blog, HERE. Please go check that out.

Atheist Totally Ruin Everything for Marine Corps
Military officials at Camp Pendleton are investigating a cross that was erected by a group of former Marines to honor their fallen colleagues, after an atheist group objected to the monument.
“Camp Pendleton legal authorities are researching and reviewing the issue in order to make a judicious decision,” Lt. Ryan Finnegan said in a statement to Fox News & Commentary. “As Marines, we are proud to honor our fallen brothers, and are also proud of our extended Marine Corps family. However, it is important to follow procedure and use appropriate processes for doing this in a correct manner to protect the sentiment from question as well as be good stewards of our taxpayer dollars.”
That report at Pat Dollard dot com is accurate, but what is not, or should I say, what is offenisve, is the title for the piece: “Due To Atheist Objections, Marine Corps May Remove Camp Pendleton Memorial Cross”
No, it was not due to “Atheist objections.” It was due to the fact that the cross violates the Constitution of the United States of America, which, by the way Marines swear to protect and defend, as I’m sure the Marines who originally erected the cross would understand if it was just pointed out to them.

It turns out Neutrinos actually Do go faster than light! Maybe.
If you really, really believe in this whole Einstein and Physics thing you’re gonna say “Noez!!!! Nothing can go faster than the speed of light, c, see? So something is wrong with the NEW experiment replicating the results of the earlier experiment TOO. But maybe it is time to OVERTHROE the Physics Conspiracy and Expose the EINSTEINIANS for what they really are: HOAXES.
