Saturday Snap – The (Nightmare) When You’re Back in High School #cndpoli #elxn43

9/11 might be the favourite day of the year for the conspiracy-minded posters on r/conspiracy. 🙂

Music Monday – “She said, “Andy, you’re better than your past”/Winked at me and drained her glass/Cross-legged on a barstool, like nobody sits anymore”

“Elephant” – Jason Isbell (This reaction video where a couple commentators slowly realize what the song’s about is a pretty good supplement to what some feel is the best song of 2013.)

Music Monday – “A civil war vet went to see/If he could get a bit of timber for a new barn/The number 4 sped/From the train overhead came the itty bitty newborn”

“Sarah Jane and the Iron Mountain Maiden” – Steve Martin and Edie Brickell

Secular Sunday – Atheist Summer Camp

As summer comes to an end, I thought this video was appropriate for a Secular Sunday post (and yes, it’s a Christian making fun of atheists for a change!) The gist of the guy’s bit is what kids would learn at an Atheist Summer Camp and the irony is that Shea and I frequently lament […]
