Students Protest Grand Jury Subpoenas of the Irvine 11

In conservative Orange County, California, more than 50 protesters — some with tape over their mouths — protested in front of the district attorney's office Tuesday, trying to stop the subpoenas and grand jury investigation against 11 students who disrupted a speech by the Israeli ambassador last year.…

California Boy found.....

http://www.cnn.com/video/#/video/bestoftv/2011/02/01/exp.NG.missingboyfound.hln?hpt=T2

Unfortunately, not alive. I'm completely outraged over this murder and the mother involved...and with Nancy Grace for telling this 'mother' "all of America is behind you". Well, no I'm not. I feel terrible for the little boy and the agonizing death he must have…

LA Riots Over Lakers Win - WHAT THE F?!

Alright, this is bullshit... if your team WINS then why are you tearing up YOUR CITY? Call me crazy but in most places a joyous celebration usually doesn't turn violent.... does it?

Basically there are ~~people~~ IDIOTS running around, jumping on cars and toppling things while the usually trigger happy LAPD just sit back and let it happen. I can not begin to describe how big of a headache I have attempting to…

Southern California Book Tour

I had a great time meeting and speaking to groups throughout SoCal. The Riverside group was amazing. 81 people attended and it seemed that all wanted to talk afterward. I didn't get back to my hotel until 1:00 AM! We went out to eat afterwards with Giovanna and Jen and had some great laughs. Check out the Riverside meetup site

Next I went to San Diego and… Continue

Base8. Know your anti-gay contributors to Proposition 8.

It’s only the lawyers — but fitting, we think, considering it was the legal beagles who dragged us into this mess in the first place, and who make way too much money off our misery.

845 records, from Arizona to the United Kingdom — and only a fraction of what’s in store:

Stop it already!!

I am sick and damn tired of hearing about Miss California and Perez Hilton.

No one cared or even heard about either of them before Miss USA. Why do we care now?

Prejean has a right to voice her opinion and hopefully she realizes she has to accept ANY consequences of them. Then she posed topless.. and now she's trying to say that a choice SHE made is a malicious attack for voicing her opinion. You screwed up you dumb broad.

Perez is a dumbass who thinks he is… Continue

Um... Don't you guys have a rule about not lying?

Today I saw some lawn signs down at the local megachurch that said "Proposition 8 = Free Speech". As you should know if you're a Californian, Prop 8 seeks to make same-sex marriage illegal in California.

I'm absolutely enraged. How the fuck do these people say that they follow a religion whose 9th commandment is to not lie (or bear false witness against one's neighbor) and get away with proudly posting such blatant lies in public? It's absurd. It's obscene. Proposition 8 has… Continue

2008 AAI Convention

So, I've decided to make the trip to Long Beach in September and attend the Atheist Alliance Convention. I'm hoping to meet some new people there. I already know Margaret Downey, who I used to work for when she was president of the Freethought Society of Greater Philadelphia. I also know a few other people I know will be there.

I was at the convention last year outside of DC. Here's a picture with me (on the left) with some members and supporters of… Continue
