Interestingly, yesterday I was trying to choose between two different ideas to make into a comic today and this is neither of those. “The Donald’s” dialogue for this one just sorta wrote itself and I couldn’t pass it up. Hope you all enjoy!
That really would be an awful video game. Imagine the problems for social development: Quick shoot everyone before they get too close!
So, as some of you are very aware, I’ll be starting law school in the next couple months. As a result, I’ll be putting Radical Rationalist on the back burner, which shouldn’t really come as a galloping shock to anyone. I won’t have time to research material for this site when I’m knee-deep in casebooks. However, I think what I will probably need on occasion is some sort of creative outlet that has a shorter turn-around time than screenplays. One way I hope to fill that need is by making things like this cartoon. They won’t always be Doctor Who-themed, so don’t any of you get your hopes up. They also WILL NOT be put up on anything resembling a schedule. If you’ve visited the site before, you know I update it precisely whenever I damn well please, and once classes start it will probably please me even less frequently. Let me know what you think and any tips or advice from any of my artistically-inclined friends is all sorts of welcome. I recently was witness to a quasi-argument on Facebook over biblical literalism. A friend posted a video of Rep. Jack Kingston disavowing evoltuion on Bill Maher’s HBO show, which led to a flurry of comments.

The problem I encountered was that a literal interpretation has its knees taken out from under it before the end of the first chapter of Genesis.
By the second verse we have three things: the earth (though it’s void and it doesn’t have any form yet, so I guess we’re playing it fast and loose with the word “created”), liquid water, and the heavens. Except there can’t be liquid water, because there aren’t any heat sources. (Sure, I guess it could be liquid because the deity willed it to be so until he got around to making stars as sources of energy, though I can’t help but wonder why he didn’t just do all of it together.) Continue reading… Google really needs to work on their audience-targeting algorithms because when I popped over to the site a moment ago, I found this ad just under the site header:
Yes, that’s “Quantum Jumping”, which, if you were to visit quantumjumping.com, you would quickly discover to be exactly what I’m sure you are dreading: self improvement through interdimentional jumping. Somewhere, there is a universe in which you are a billionaire. Why should you be denied the opportunity to capitalize on your own success?! Seriously. Here’s a quote:
If this is a poe, it’s an incredibly thorough one. Continue reading… First, let me say that I love Rachel Maddow. She and Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert make up my nightly dose of TV news. I have a bone to pick with her, though, for an issue she has touched on frequently since Tuesday’s State of the Union. Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy |
