Work(ing Title)

In honor of Eli coming home for the holidays this afternoon, I have decided to start what should become a regular series of posts. She is a cat person from a cat family, and like any other cat person she goes to pieces at the sight of any cute cat (which ultimately remind her of her own cats). So I will retain her love not by getting a cat myself, and not by giving her a cat to keep her company at school. No, I will leverage my lazyweb mindset and simply post pictures of other people’s cats.

So going forward there should be a new cat each week, so buckle up, grab your allergy medications, and enjoy Feline Update…

Those of you who can grasp the underlying humor in this fantastic bit of freestyle hip-hop can have a second tasty treat ;)

Penn Jillette by Nubar Alexanian

The talkative side of Penn & Teller has posted his NPR essay entitled: There Is No God. He has struck the nail on the head for those of us who try and articulate why faith can feel unnecessary.

Reading the transcript is one thing, but you should really do yourself the favor and listen to him read it.

Thanks Washington Post. Apparently you have some particularly geeky people on your staff, and you’ve aimed them at a goal that doesn’t involve further bullshit registration in order to attain useful information. Instead, we the public can now track our allies and enemies with the greatest of ease.
