Going blue for change, Cartoon Muhammad (again), and the big D!!!
Going blue for the cause
(JERUSALEM) — Palestinian protesters have added a colorful twist to demonstrations against Israel’s separation barrier, painting themselves blue and posing as characters from the hit film “Avatar.” The demonstrators also donned long hair and loincloths Friday for the weekly protest against the barrier near the village of Bilin.

I think it’s really sad that America view of Palestine is often one of Islamic fanaticism. Our imbalanced view of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is, in many ways, a real contributor to fundamentalist Islamic fervor.
Norway posts images of the Prophet Muhammad
The cartoon wars have returned! This time however, Muslims handled the situation with 21st-century rationality: they prayed and expressed feelings of dismay. They did not ( like 2006, when a Danish paper posted image of the Prophet) go on a burning spree shouting death to the infidels.

Darwin Day
Well, it’s already passed, but I just couldn’t leave it out. Love him, or hate him, Charles Darwin forever changed the shape of human existence.
Born on February 12, this year marks the 200th anniversary of his birth. Not only did Darwin’s explanations for the origins of life spurn endless religious debate, but it also fueled scientific advancement like never before. (Visit the Guardian to view a wonderful audio-slide show of Darwin’s life.)

Nothing has really changed, Mike. This is still an anti religious site for atheist to spew.
You know what they say about putting LIPSTICK on a PIG!
But at least the snarling DOG Iggy seems to be quiet.
And although comments have been shut off at the Tammeus blog, the upside is that he has lost his primary outlet for his rants.
Great look to the new site, but it seems like the comments have dropped off.
When I first looked at it, their was a discussion board, but that seems to be missing.
Is that still up?
I don’t plan on using it, I think. It just didn’t get the kind of traffic I wanted. And, it was too many clicks….I like the comments on the site.
And yea, comments are bad these days…too bad cause I love to read them!
