Paid leave for pushing a human being out of your body that you then have to spend the next 18 months teaching how to not shit itself, not to mention 18 years raising? Whoa whoa whoa, ladies... let's not get crazy now.

My balls are perfect, too Tom. Ball haters are gonna hate perfect balls.

If I walked into someone's house and saw this, I would have a very difficult time taking them seriously. Not because it's a bible... I have several bibles around the house, including study bibles. But "The Duck Commander Faith and Family Bible"? Really?

organissimo is playing at the River Stop Cafe in Newaygo tonight! We start at 7pm; limited seating, so call ahead. (231) 652-5282

I'm going to miss John Stewart. He's spot-on here; the anti-gay marriage people have absolutely no argument, not a single tiny leg to stand on.

I don't follow sports much anymore, so let me see if I got this right: Greg Brady deflated his balls in a Super Bong and won some gaudy ring?

Since I need another keyboardist for THEO to augment the parts I play, I think this is the perfect rig for us. What do you think? http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vintage-1970s-Musitronic-Learning-System-6-Sided-Keyboard-Wurlitzer-Teaching/371316118464

I just voted no on Prop 1. Why? Because it's a regressive tax increase that hurts the poor and lower middle class. Let's not forget that one of the first things Gov Synder did when he got into office in 2011 was cut almost $2 billion from Michigan's revenues by abolishing the MBT and then shifted that deficit burden onto the poor and middle class. He did so by cutting the Earned Income Tax Credit, the homestead tax credit, taxing retirement pensions, cutting education, and slashing welfare. I...

Pascal's Wager: wrong in the 17th century and still wrong today.

"One journalist said he thought I would like this “DIY” world. There’s a difference between having the final artistic say on who I hire and the new normal of not hiring anyone at all."

"Psychics" preying on the desperate. Grotesque.

Organissimo at the One Trick Pony tonight. 8pm. Not to be confused with the One Trick Ponty (as in Jean Luc).

Oh, Jehovah's Witnesses. Why don't I believe you when you come to my door (after visiting us last year) and claim you respect my beliefs and then try to convert me to joining your religion with a silly pamphlet that uses every poor tactic in the evangelical handbook: Fear of the unknown and death, misinformation and scientific cherry-picking, quoting the Bible as if it's an unassailable and reliable source, and the argument from complexity (ie intelligent design)? I wanted to ask them if the...

Flying to DC today to perform with Janiva Magness at the Child Welfare League 2015 National Conference tomorrow.

"THEO released with The Game Of Ouroboros one of the musical highlights of 2015..." New English review from The Netherlands.

"How can we be born as sinners? Aren’t babies innocent at birth like most believe? Let’s not depend upon human wisdom or modern psychology for the answer." Heaven's no... let's not depend on collected human wisdom or consult modern scientific knowledge. Let's see what a 2000 year old arbitrary collection of tribal myths has to say about it! Hmmmm... it says here that we are all sinners because of something two people did thousands of years ago in a garden with a talking snake....

organissimo is at Cliff Bell's tonight! 9pm start. We have t-shirts and free stickers! I said STICKERS! Hope to see you there.

My new favorite talking point of the conservative Christian movement is "secular theocracy". That phrase makes no sense. Kind of like "conservative Christian".
