This week’s episode, and the episodes which follow it, will be without video.   The cameras have been lost or stolen in the post-engagement celebration. Oops.

In Iowa, a girl named Cassy Herkelman won a match at the most historic high school state wrestling tournament in the country!  Yay!  Girl power!  Woo h- what?  Oh, yeah.  Also – she won by forfeit. Can I just, for the sake of my ovaries, have a moment here? AWWWWWWWWWWWW MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN.  Seriously?  Come on! And you’ll […]

India made a huge mistake the other day when, in response to a lawsuit, Bombay’s highest court decided that astrology is a science.  Yeeeeeeeaaah. India’s Bombay High Court has ruled that astrology (which took a recent and very public drubbing after an astronomer pointed out that astrological signs have changed over millennia) is not merely […]

Billy Ray Cyrus did an interview in December that was published in the February issue of GQ where he comes clean about his feelings regarding his daughter’s show and its effect on their family.  I have no issues with what the guy is saying until we get to the end. Initially Cyrus talks about how […]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PyclBRebNW8&feature=player_embedded I enjoy these kinds of home made parody videos whether I agree with the premise or not.  I guess I just think it’s cool when people make things.  I do wonder, however, with videos like this one and the now internet infamous Baby Got Book – how do religious people feel about these kinds […]

Indulge us a small personal moment here to wish Sam Mulvey and Rebecca Friedman a deeply heartfelt and embarrassingly public congratulations on their engagement!  A nervous Sam proposed on air today to a shocked and confused Becky who – after realizing what she thought was happening was indeed actually happening – said yes. From everyone at […]

Mike here. Now, I’m a big fan of fringe types. Sun Myung Moon, Fred Phelps, Emperor Joshua Norton, the Raelians, David Icke, Alex Jones, cult leaders, conspiracy theorists, moon landing deniers, cryptozoologists, Birthers, Truthers, UFO crazies… you name them, I think they’re hilarious and fascinating. I’m also a bit of a politics geek, so when […]

Have you ever wanted to repent, but you just didn’t have time to make it to church?  Wait for it…wait for it…there’s an app for that. HEY-OHHHHH!  This might be old news on the interwebs freeway, but it’s new to me and its very existence tickles me.  I’m also pretty amused by the response from the higher […]

I’ll be moving some comments about the meat thing to this post, and I ask that discussion of this topic remain in here. Also, this is Sam responding… not Ask an Atheist. Regarding the e-mail at the beginning of the show none of the responses you provided actually justify killing animals for food. Exactly correct. […]

Jesus has been seen in many things – dog bums, tree trunks, chips, tiles, and bird poop on truck mirrors.  In fact, there’s so much Jesus and Mary related pareidolia reports that continuously occur, the phenomenon has a certain pop culture appeal to it.  I always think it’s interesting because, while I can often see the general […]
