Hey, Josh, you hate science right?

No, I actually like science. I hate how it’s used to push agendas, political opinions, and slam people with differing opinions. A lot of this falls on the reporting of science. Here’s an example from this week:

Same-Sex Behavior Found in Nearly All Animals

Now, I will say up front that [...]

I’m always amazed at how heated some people become when evolution vs. intelligent design/creation.
 
“I didn’t come from no damn monkey!”
“You sure about that?”
 
For me, evolution makes sense. However, I’m also willing to listen to the other side because I’m of the mind that the fact anything exists makes no sense. I’m comfortable with both ideas. [...]

I had to share this video. Comedian Joel Sanders has a very bad night in Johnson City, TN. 
 
Enjoy.
 

This is rapidly becoming old news, but I just heard it the other night and it’s really bugging me.
 
NPR’s “Wait, Wait, Don’t Tell Me” recently had White House advisor David Axelrod on to chat about some things. The guy made a joke about naming the White House dog. He said that as far as his input [...]

Somehow the “new” super food, acai berry is being made into a magical fruit. I’ll give that it’s probably a great source of vitamins and nutrients, but by no means is this thing the cure all that some people are claiming it to be. It won’t make you younger, it won’t make you thinner, it [...]

Lately, I’ve been watching the news as if it weren’t real. I don’t mean in the way that I don’t believe the “threat” from swine flu isn’t real. I mean, no matter what the news is, I just watch like it’s a movie and none of it will have any effect on anyone I know, [...]

I spent the past week fairly computer free. I only checked my e-mail a couple of times, but for the most part, I was free.
No checking news sites and surprise surprise, I missed nothing. Swine flu? Yeah, I’ve heard that before.
No MySpace, Facebook, Twitter or any other social networking. I didn’t feel less sociable. In [...]

I thought it was kind of cool at first, but now the whole idea is just boring.
What started as a cool idea for a quick Men’s Health page of “Hey, rather than having that Big Mac, did you know a grilled chicken salad will save you a zillion calories” kind of thing.  Since I was [...]

The more I think about it, the more excited I get about my son going to school. It’s not so much that I want him out of the house already, but I can’t help but get excited to plant in his head the questions I wish I had asked when I was a kid. A [...]
