- Sign the petition at Sense About Science, and tell the UK not to let its libel laws quash scientific debate. (If you don’t sign, the terrorists chiropractors win.)
- Teens and young women who attend religious schools have more abortions than their public school peers. (It’s good to know they’re exercising the rights they want to take away from everyone else.)
- John Lynch agrees with “Intelligent” Design proponents, who point out that ID isn’t actually a new idea. (Revealing that they’re ignorant AND unoriginal.)
- U.S. General who retired over Abu Ghraib calls for truth commission. (Fox News uses the word “traitor” to describe a 30 year Army veteran in 3… 2… 1… )

Congratulations All Around
June 4th, 2009 by Oskar Kennedy
Congratulations to Suburban Panic contributor Foo-Foo McKinley. She’s been added to the roster of ass-kicking skeptical ladies over at Skepchick. I feel like a high school coach watching his star player get drafted to the major leagues. And I’d like to point out that I predicted this right from the beginning. Here’s hoping she doesn’t forget about us when she scores the winning run in the Super Bowl, or whatever.
In completely unrelated news, congrats also to Foo-Foo and her husband, who are expecting their first little “skepling” in January. While there’s no way it will be as cute as my daughter, I expect their child will come in a close second. And I’ve already reserved the right to do this to any ultrasound pictures they publish.
And finally, congratulations to regular commenter catgirl, who pointed out a distinction between the sincere deceit of religion and the knowing fraud of Scientology. In the process, she left our 1,000 (non-spam) comment. I know that celebrating big round numbers is entirely arbitrary, but something about all those zeroes makes me happy nonetheless. We’re trying to figure out a prize for her; if you have suggestions, you can leave them in the comments.
