Fighting for science and reason in a faith-based world

Stewart on the Not-the-State-of-the-Union Address
Be ready to laugh until you cry as you watch Jon Stewart's priceless commentary on Obama's big speech, and Bobby Jindal's response (at about 6:16 in the clip). Stewart skewers right and left with equal comic fervor.
It is quite a laughfest. Whoever thought comedians wouldn't have anything to laugh about when Obama took command really don't understand comedy and/or politics.
I have a mathematics background, an interest in science, and an unapologetic impatience for sloppy thinking. This puts me at odds with both right and left. It's high time the rational scientific viewpoint got the rabid proponent it deserves. I fight nonsense so the scientists don't have to. The blog is not necessarily about science, but rather is a scientific view of the world. Rational, civilly expressed, factually supported thought-out opposing views are welcome. Disparaging, irrational, intentionally obtuse, troll-like whack-a-mole, quote-mining posts will be dispatched without hesitation or apology, as will tit-for-tat partisan "the other side does it too" political gamesmanship, and opinions of what topics I should be writing about. We don't do that here.

This will be my bedtime viewing treat. I can't wait...
