And by “we,” I mean brown people. Piyush “Bobby” Jindal is the new governor of Louisiana. He’s the first Indian governor in America’s history. While it’s great to see anyone break so many racial barriers, especially in the South, it’s unfortunate that Jindal could become the most prominent Indian-American in the country. Just like Mark Foley with gay people, Alberto Gonzales with Latinos, and Alan Keyes with African-Americans, Bobby Jindal doesn’t represent most Indians. Not me, anyway. He’s the anomaly,… Read more

Chocolate Jesus is back… it’s not the same as the original (which was eaten by mice), but this time, Jesus has chocolate-y friends: The exhibit, at the Proposition Gallery in Manhattan, will be accompanied by a set of chocolate Catholic icons created by Cavallaro, a group that includes the Virgin Mary and saints Francis, Augustine, Michael, Jude, Anthony and Fermin. The Catholic League isn’t protesting this time, either: “We don’t approve of the piece at all, but it’s not something… Read more
How many incorrect stereotypes can you cram into one letter-to-the-editor? Let’s find out: Atheism: A life without purpose The article “Atheists find sanctuary at gathering” (Oct. 12, Page A-6) leaves me puzzled. Doesn’t this seem like anarchists forming a political party? If they were successful in their goals, would our money say “In No God We Trust”? Or perhaps, “We Trust In No One”? (Should “No One” be in small letters to avoid any semblance of a higher being?) I… Read more
I still wish the Scarlet A wasn’t such a coy way to represent atheism… but since so many people have the image on their sites, maybe it can eventually reach a Tipping Point. I’ll do my part to help make that happen. The A image is now in the sidebar. If you want to add it on yours, the html code is here. [tags]atheist, atheism, Richard Dawkins, Scarlet A[/tags] Read more

A reader has this interesting question: I just received a flyer in the mail asking for donations to fund a Thanksgiving dinner for the local homeless shelter. I would really like to contribute but they are a faith-based charity and I’m worried that my donation will not be used wisely. I sent them an email… asking if the homeless people they help are required to participate in any religious counseling or if all who come to them for help are… Read more
I’m falling asleep as I type. I just came back from The New Pornographers’ concert at Metro in Chicago. Best. Concert. Ever. I was this close |—-| to Neko Case. My life is complete now. Read more
