says he taught at Univ. Missouri at St Louis between 1979 and 1983.

Looking at Crowley's vida I'd say it was either Duke University or Texas A&M. Either one a good candidate in my book for being surrounded by fundamentalist students.

Malkin must do backflips when she eyeballs a Xicano wearing a keffiyeh. I'm sure she breaks down in an apopoleptic seizure at the sight.

-edit- read the Times article. What pisses me off to no end is the default position that "God" exists and yet the reasoned stance that there is no proof is in the default "unproven" position.

Decius Robertson...

thank you, thank you, thank you! I'm about to turn in for the night and thought I was going to have "the wheels on the bus" echoing through my mind until I would be forced to self medicate. A little more usage of the terms "strident" and "shrill" when mentioning Prof. Dawkins and you will be spot on.

Ariane...great job. Totally irrelevant but...mmmmm... If anyone gets something rolling in NYC I suppose could choke down pb&j for lunch a week or two straight and donate a few $$$.

goodnight!

-edit- I noticed you addressed him as Dr instead of Mr. Shame shame. Dead giveaway. I thought it was bad form for a cretinist to address the Prof. with titles and such.

However, late Thursday sources told CBS 2 HD police were talking to the bus matron Linda Hockaday, the assistant to the bus driver. The source said Hockaday admitted to knowing that Rivera was still on the bus when it was locked up on one of the coldest nights of the year. Her rationale for leaving' She apparently didn't want to be late for church.

I think we should reflect on WWSD(qm) *what would Skylark do*

If Skylark happened upon a mouse and batted it around a bit, tossing it in the air, letting it wander a bit away before pouncing upon it once again before ultimately eviscerating I don't believe we would assume any guilt on the part of Skylark.

So, if a militant, strident and shrill theist happens to wander into this particular lair then it be's what it be's.

My 25th

Got up. Thought I was going to make migas for breakfast. Folks let me sleep in. Got up to turkey instead. Watched Susan Jacoby on CSPAN2. It was a presentation of a lecture she did in Philadelphia in March. My parents and I discussed how the sky fairy was a bunch of hogwash. We then called my sister and spoke to her and my niece. We exchanged gifts. I drove home from the cabin since I had to work today. I took a shower. I went over to Dr Michaelson and Dr Melendez's house and had brisket, latkes and some really good tequila. Met Dr Melendez's sons. Had some good conversation. Dr Michaelson let Dr Melendez know I was nominally a pastafarian...Dr Michaelson offered to show his wife (Dr Melendez) his copy of The Gospel of the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Talked to Carlos Melendez about the many different varieties of poison dart frogs he raises. Left, went to a Jon's house. (known him since age 3) Had to endure a program on The History Channel about god and satan. We roundly declared it to be utter crap. Ate some of Elsie's (Jon's mom) wonderful cooking. Went home. Put in a Python dvd. At the point where the Black Knight was a stump I paused it and went to bed.

I had a really good time yesterday. Spent with a lot of good company.

I would say European. When my mother and I were visiting my Uncle in Deutschland he took us to a restaurant in Heidlburg. When the wine steward came and offered some Californian wines, amongst others, he said, "no thanks, there are already enough Americans at the table." He was joking, for the most part, but it was on after that.

Al-

sadly very few countries recognize my Aztlan passport(and I worked so hard in arts and crafts making it...) I was quite miffed when the authorities in Guadalajara refused to stamp it. I don't even try it going into Canada. I've spent way too much time in customs in Windsor. Those Canadiens are very sneaky. They send out this really beautiful woman (it's happened on two occasions) who asks you, quite sweetly, to step inside. Then her demeaner changes. "You, sit! You! Over there!" It was really quite stimulating ;) But, to answer your question, I have a US Passport. I wouldn't be able to get to the the dim sum restaurant in Windsor without it...and that would be a cruel, cruel, state of existence.
