U.S. supports UN’s suppression of free speech that criticizes religion “We should not let ourselves be bullied by this stance, or by this resolution.  Resolution 16/18 is an offense to the American tradition of free speech, and it’s odious that both Obama and Hillary Clinton are supporting it.”

Louis C.K. on Blasphemy In my opinion, Louis C.K. is the best comic since Bill Hicks. For example: Are White People Racially Oppressed?

Irrational Atheists The difference is to try and recognize your own tendencies and correct them accordingly.

Bachmann "Suspends" Campaign After Losing Big in Iowa I’ll miss Crazy Eyes and Ladybird. They were fun in their own quirky, bigoted, Christo-facist way.

Will Google, Facebook, others 'nuke' Internet over SOPA? DO IT!
