And here is a photgraph from the event:
The Secular Coalition for America, the first lobbying group in Washington for freethinking Americans, offered 1000 dollars to whoever could find the highest ranking atheistic member of the US government.
He turns out to be a representative Peter Stark, a Democratic congressmen from California’s 13th district.
Stark is the first ever openly atheist member of congress, even though, if congress was a representative sample of Americans, there ought to be about fifty non-theistic members. Stark has consistently voted in favor of freedom and equality – he has a 100% rating from the ACLU. This is a huge step foreward for equality, kin to the first woman speaker, Nancy Pelosi. Hopefully, other atheistic congressmen – if there are any – will follow Stark’s lead. Hopefully, this isn’t the end of Stark’s political career!
Peter Popoff, alleged faith-healer who was debunked by James Randi is at it again. Watch here.
Pope Benedict (the Whatever) has been notified by the Archbishop of Bologna, who was was presumably talking to God (or Jesus? Or the Holy Spirit?), that the Anti-Christ will be a a pacifist, and ecologist, and an ecumenist. So some one who doesn’t like war, thinks it might be important to prevent the destruction of the environment, and would like to see the entire world live in peace and unity together! Well, it looks like you are in luck Bishop – you don’t have to worry because John Lennon is already dead. Because a psychopath conservative religious whack-job, like you, shot him in the head. And who is to fight this peace lovin’ hippy – er, evil beast? The Eastern Orthodox, the Catholic, and the Protestant. Way to mobilize the Christian right! I will be looking foreward to more bigotry, gas-guzzling SUVs, needless wars, and attacks on science and progress in the future. Ass.

I will definitely be attending Osheroff’s talk. He is a brilliant physicist, and we should be supporting our scientists. Not to mention, their is a recording of him finding out about his Nobel Prize – it’s hilarious
