Mind-Brain
This morning KQED broadcast an interview with John Searle, author of Mind: A Brief Introduction. I caught a few snippets during my commute, and plan to go back to listen to the rest. In particular, there were some very good questions from the radio audience.
Must be a bunch of blue county "elites" and their fancy "knowledge".
Carnivore Mentor
Mugatu was at my back window tonight demanding a meal upgrade from kibble. The cupboard is bare, but Ive got some eggs. Is anything as simple yet decadent as scrambled eggs cooked in a bit of fresh butter?
I've cooked fried eggs (over easy) for Mugatu before, but he was confused by the whites. This time I munched on the eggs while Mugatu watched me through a window pane. I do this sort of tasting sometimes with Gracie over a bit of chicken or salmon, to convince Miss Picky Eater that I'm eating the best food on the planet. Mmmmmmm, cooked meeeat.
The mentoring worked for Mugato. He was face down in a bowl of warm eggs last I looked.
Mandatory Eye Gouging
The Christian Taliban never rests in their quest to make U.S. law reflect the will of God. R-rated movies will now include mandatory eye gouging of all patrons. Pocket pool will be punished by amputation. And divorced women will be banished to nunneries.
28: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.
29: And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
30: And if thy right hand offend thee, cut if off, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
31: It hath been said, Whosoever shall put away his wife, let him give her a writing of divorcement:
32: But I say unto you, That whosoever shall put away his wife, saving for the cause of fornication, causeth her to commit adultery: and whosoever shall marry her that is divorced committeth adultery.
At a loss
Tonight the Daily Show highlighted a clip of Under Scty of State Richard Armitage telling a huge fucking whopper to the national press. Richie says that the American troops are being led into Fallujah by a force of 2,000 Iraqis. Um, okay. If that's your story.
Now that the media have been publically slapped at the first press conference of the new man-date by the elected lying sack of wet cow droppings, are they going to respond with a little spine, or are they going to roll over and submit?
Knight-Ridder, can you save us all?
