Deepak Chopra doesn’t even pay attention to what he’s saying
And here is proof:

Hey, if it makes you seem really profound on a superficial level but is actually just the usual postmodernist drivel, it’s probably something Chopra has said. I’m just amazed he doesn’t get called out on that kind of stuff more often. Kudos to the red shirt guy.

Go back to Europe
This is brilliant. And depressing at the same time.
OK what happened is that this guy somehow got himself a chance to speak to a group of anti-illegal immigrant right wing fanatics at one of their little demos. He gets them on his side with some ambiguous language at the beginning, but it turns out he [...]

Jonathan Coulton
OK, Jonathan Coulton is a buddy of John Hodgman’s, and he plays guitar with him on his book tours. This is how I became aware of him. So he has a bunch of albums out, and his music deals with lots of important topics such as (but not limited to): zombies, love of laptop computers, [...]

Carl Sagan Day
As you will see from this picture, Monday would be Carl Sagan’s 75th birthday if he weren’t wormfood.

And the JREF is doing some Carl Sagan Day thing at a college near their headquarters in Florida.
So here is the Pale Blue Dot video:

And here is a video from Cosmos:

And here you can watch any of the [...]

Charlene Werner and Homeopathy
I try not to write about stuff that’s been dealt with by PZ Myers on his blog Pharyngula, simply because it’s the most popular blog dealing with science and atheism since, like, ever. But the subject of this post probably should be duplicated as much as possible for reasons which should become obvious soon.
About a [...]

More torture fun
You might remember the case of Maher Arar from a few years back. Arar was on his way to his home in Canada via JFK Airport. He had been on vacation. While at JFK, Arar was detained and eventually shipped to Syria in one of those “extraordinary rendition” cases. While being “interrogated” in Syria on [...]

Guys named Al
Here are some political videos from last week of guys named Al getting all up in the right wing’s grill on ACORN and health care costs.
Here is Al Franken going after someone from the Hudson Institute:

And here’s Allan Grayson raising some questions about the de-funding of ACORN. It starts out a little boring, but he [...]

Scientology
Start at 2:40

OK, since I spent tens of seconds at a Scientology Halloween party on mushrooms before being asked to leave, I feel I’m qualified to offer completely unsupported speculation on this issue.
First of all, this guy’s obviously a douche. You don’t get to pick and choose which questions a journalist asks you. And if [...]

The drunkest guy ever meme
Here are two great variations on this drunk guy trying to buy beer at a convenience store meme. First we have the silent film version:

And here’s it’s incorporated with an MC Trebek Mash-up:

LOL INTERNET.

Shpongle – Ineffable Mysteries From Shpongleland
I just got this and haven’t even listened to it yet, but I’m sure it will be good. Listen to it. Do it now!
And here is a video a weird fan made of a rare track:

Capitalism: A Love Story
OK, when I first heard the title of this movie, I thought Moore was going to try to restore Marx and talk about how misunderstood he is by today’s society. Of course I figured it would mostly be about the bailouts and the fatcat bankers and all that stuff, too. But the “love story” bit [...]

No wonder they grow up to be such nuts

Monday Music Recommendation
Do Make Say Think – Other Truths (2009)

This one doesn’t actually come out until October 20, but you can still download it by clicking on the artwork above. Do Make Say Think is a “post rock” band from Toronto. I really don’t like that term to describe the genre, but it just kind of stuck. [...]

Monday Music Recommendation
Bomb the Music Industry! – Scrambles (2009)

This album actually came out earlier this year, but I’m going to recommend it anyway because I couldn’t find anything decent that came out this week. I say that now but I know that in a month or two I will regret it.
If you listen to this album and [...]

Obama hates something I’m afraid to talk about
I have to admit I was pretty skeptical when Katie Couric took a top spot at CBS. She was taking the position once held by Walter Cronkite, and she had never even been in a war zone before. It looked exactly like CBS was just putting a purdy face on the evening news in order [...]
