Political Science

There is a blog site out there called ScienceBlogs.com that has some very good popularizing science blogs, places where you can go to read about the latest developments in numerous different fields from geology to astronomy to evolution. They have 73 different blogs and tens of thousands of posts have been written. Sadly the site is infected with a severe case of political science. Not science about politics, like studying elections and such, but "science" that serves political ends. The site is 100% atheist-socialist in outlook, meaning they were all gaga over Obama for one thing. All economic news is twisted into an argument for more government intervention. The most pathetic thing is that the most vehement of the atheist-socialist comments come from people who are not speaking in thier actual field but are commenting on politics as if a degree in Evolutionary Biology somehow gives one authority to pontificate about energy policy! I've tried as best I can to filter out the political crap and get to the science but it cannot be done. The site is hopelessly political and the science can't be filtered out without far too much work. If anyone knows of a decent science blog site not dedicated to preaching socialism and mocking religion, well I'd love to see it. For now, I'm unplugging my reader from thier feed, I go to science sites to read about science, I'll go to a political site to read politics and I have plenty of religious sites to read for spiritual thoughts.

NBC anti-life?

I would boycott NBC, if I ever watched it that is. I actually never watch anything on the old line networks, NBC, CBS, ABC, FOX. Everything I watch is on the cable only stations... do they still broadcast over the air? Ah well, this story is about the fact that it seems NBC refused to air an ad put together by some Catholic outfit that features an embryo and all of the hardships it faced in early life ending up with the revelation that they were talking about Obama. Here is the ad , check it out and see how unoffensive it is. Like I said, if I watched them I'd quit now. :-/

The Tea Parties

I didn't make our local Tea Party , but it pulled hundreds of people as well... Tea, anyone? from Father Hollywood by Father Hollywood Like hundreds of thousands of other Americans, the Hollywoods enjoyed a tea party this past Wednesday. "Tea party" (wink wink). Nothing subversive about sipping a little Darjeeling, eh wot? Nothing to see here, Miss Napolitano. Anyway, our local festivities were held at Veterans Memorial Boulevard in Metairie. There were literally thousands of people crammed into the neutral ground (though on that day, the ground was anything but...), as cars and trucks poured by the busy boulevard laing on their horns in support. Here are pictures. And like every such gathering in our environs, there was even a brass band and an improptu "second line" parade. It was a "party" after all. But it was a party with a serious reason. The crowds were so overwhelming that it was hard to hear the speakers, and unfortunately, we did have a fe...
