Ah, Monday Monday

Monday has approached, and greeted with ambivalence. On the one hand, I'm one day closer to the next weekend. On the other hand, I'm one day farther from last weekend, which progressed much too quickly. I got some of the things done that I wanted to, but also didn't get things done. Hopefully I can make up for some of it this week in the evenings.

Here's an interesting article on the election results in Iraq. It is interesting to note that the Sunni's didn't want to support the elections, but the Shi'ites showed up quite well. And the group that is gaining majority results based on exit polls is not the same group that Iraq's Interim PM is in. That group came in 3rd. Of course, we'll see how the counts work out. I wonder if there will be different results.

I'm concerned about the Sunni reaction. You would hope that they would want to participate in such a voting opportunity. I wonder if that's going to be a recruiting pool for more insurgents bent on destabilizing Iraq.

Some links for my reference and yours

In light of dslartoo's post on recent legislation in Mississippi to allow for Intelligent Design to be taught along side of Evolution, here are some links to consider:

More Links on Evolution and Intelligent Design

I recently had the opportunity to discuss 'intelligent design' with one of the major proponents of the "theory," a Senior Fellow of the Discovery Institute, Dr. Stephen Meyer. Dr. Meyer is also the Director of the Institute's Center for the Renewal of Science and Culture, which has subsequently been renamed to the less informative--and less honest--Center for Science and Culture. The occasion of the encounter was the taping of an episode of Faith under Fire, a new television talk show hosted by Lee Strobel, the self-professed "ex-atheist" and author of such books as The Case for Christ.

Comics, comics, comics!

Okay, I have finally posted some comics up for sale on ebay from patricks's comic collection. These are Teen Titan annuals, so far.

After putting up five listings, I realized that what I need to do is bundle them. Most future comics put up for sale will be bundled in packs of five. This stuff is tiresome!

Anyway, to look at the items I have up for sale, go here.

Stay tuned for more, kids.
