I hate this "bombing the Moon" meme.

I noticed that "'bombing the moon' might cause horrible consequences such as knocking it out of its orbit" joined that elite group of irrational fears/theories that are common among otherwise rational people. The LHC will destroy the Earth. Vaccines [insert bad thing here]. Et cetera.

If Wes Craven, made a career out of portraying real people, famous or otherwise, being murdered or tortured, or what have you, in a whimsical and mocking fashion, then he would deserve to be memorialized as such.

So... New Nightmare wasn't a documentary?

Nuthin. Just kinda odd compared to the more mass-market tastes in that column.

If exposing myself to Glenn Beck's broadcasts didn't give me tumors and high blood pressure, I'd be curious to hear his response.

I hear defensiveness when moderates respond to the fact that there are people who demand a lot more of their leaders.

[...]

Moderates, nothing to be defensive about. If there weren't people to the left of you demanding more, you'd be the extreme left.

People who aren't as impatient as you are "moderates?"

JHarris: "Maybe it has to do with the typing of young hipsters as loving the Macintosh computer, which increases the chances that Mac enthusiasts will be insufferable creative types?"

Kinda, yeah. Or rather, the typing of Macs as being the computers loved by young hipsters and nothing more. Also, Justin Long just rubs me the wrong way.

Exactly, rokusan. Also, I should say: I love Hodgman.

oneswellfoop: "Was I the only kid growing up who got bits of Comparative Religion in my Sunday School?"

Is that common? I got a lot of comparative religion in Sunday school as a Unitarian Universalist, but I've never gotten the impression that many other faiths do that.

I've actually been meaning to pick up a used copy of Atlas Shrugged, as I haven't read it and I'd like to see if it's as bad as I keep hearing.

So AZ, if for some reason you're ever at my house, please keep that in mind. There are plenty of other reasons not to take me seriously.
