2007-11-06 12:50 Blue Plate Special
It was another one of those Uni Watch red-alert moments last night, as about a dozen readers e-mailed me all at once and another half-dozen or so posted all at once in the comments section. The cause Jason Strudwick of the Rangers got in a fight and his nameplate came loose during the fisticuffs, revealing some nasty-looking adhesive residue on the underside. All of which is very entertaining. But here's my question: Since when have the Rangers been using nameplates I always thought they used di …

2007-08-10 18:32 Australian Asks: Why Don't Atheists Get Elected in America
Anne Davies in The Sydney Morning Herald (Australia) has an article called, " A non-believer - say it isn't so ." It opens with a (slightly erroneous) story about Pete Stark: Pete Stark found himself in a unique and slightly uncomfortable position earlier this year. The longtime Democrat congressman for the Oakland district near San Francisco had responded to a survey from the Secular Coalition for America which offered a $1000 prize to the person who could identify the "highest-level atheist, a …

2007-06-25 04:00 More California Reamin' - 9th Circuit Court Style
By George F. Will, op-ed columnist The Washington Post Sunday, June 24, 2007 h/t Michael Savage Speech Police, Riding High In Oakland Marriage is the foundation of the natural family and sustains family values. That sentence is inflammatory, perhaps even a hate crime. At least it is in Oakland, Calif. That city's government says those words, italicized here, constitute something akin to hate speech and can be proscribed from the government's open e-mail system and employee bulletin board. When t …

2007-06-24 15:29 Thought Police Arises In Oakland, Bolstered By The 9th Circuit
Oakland has banned a group of African-American Christian women from accessing a government e-mail and message board system because it considers them bigoted and interested in conducting hate speech. While the same systems regularly carry political statements from gay-rights groups, the city has banned the women because of the loaded language in their communications -- words such as marriage and natural family. George Will explains: Marriage is the foundation of the natural family and sustains fa …

2007-04-25 15:33 All for Green, and Green for All: An Interview with Van Jones
When I went to see Van Jones speak for the first time at the Green Festival in November 2002 about, "Green Jobs, Not Packed Jails," people in the States were just starting to lift their heads up from a year of fear and despair after September 11th. Hearing Van speak was probably one of the first moments I felt hope again for our future, and energized to make the world a better place. I have heard him speak several times since, and each time, my hope is renewed. Consequently, it is a special trea …

Welcome back from Thanksgiving! Sorry for the posting delay, but searching for work has taken a higher priority of late.

Meanwhile, here s this further piece from the archives (there are only 2-3 more in this series, I promise), which calls for a bit more reader response than usual, as you ll see at the end. Thanks for stickin …
