Posted on 17. May, 2010 by Skunk Ape.

In response to an online argument whether modern Jihadists are more dangerous than the Nazis were…
Jihadists are not more dangerous than the Nazis. Not by a long shot.  More unpredictable – yes. Harder to identify – yes. Harder to kill – no. More dangerous – certainly not.

God vs. Global Warming

Posted on 28. Apr, 2010 by Skunk Ape.

Allow me a moment to throw in a completely new monkey wrench into the whole global climate change/global warming/ clean air conversation. The way I see it, you are all arguing the wrong issues.

Nuclear Disarmament

Posted on 08. Apr, 2010 by Skunk Ape.

The Obama decision to limit the use of nuclear weapons is another piece of useless political theater. It is designed to make the No Nukes crowd happy and vote Democratic in November. But it is also designed to make the hysterical Right come out frothing at the mouth and acting like the lunatics they are.

Health Care Shennanigans

Posted on 03. Apr, 2010 by Skunk Ape.

So, despite all the hype, lies, attacks and ridiculousness, the silly Democrats managed to pass major health care reform.

Now begins the long road to actually finding out [...]
