Cry "Havoc " and let slip the douchebags of pseudoscience

While you Brits have been celebrating Darwin Day for a few hours already, it's now midnight in my neck of the woods, and that can only mean one thing: BPSDB.org is now officially open for business. The internet is full of all sorts of woo, so let's get to blogging on it! Creationism and Intelligent Design have already been represented, so perhaps some of you can weigh in on some HIV denial, homeopathy, and 9 / 11 troofism. I'll soon be creating a "Blogging on Pseudo-Historian Douche-Bags" graphic (and a corresponding "Lite ™" icon) for those of you wanting to blog on Holocaust Denial and Civil War Revisionism. There's still a few minor bugs to work out on the site, but for the most part, everything is working satisfactorily. I'll be setting up a Feedburner feed in the next few days in order to maximize the efficiency of BPSDB.org 's RSS Feed, and tweaking the Stylesheet to add a little bit of color to the site. Thanks to everyone who has thus far participated in the project, and those of you who have offered moral support. I'm far too cynical to think that we're going to someday eradicate pseudoscience, but I think we can all have a good time pointing out and laughing at the idiotic things the pseudoscientists are promoting. And like a very special episode of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, we just might learn a thing or two along the way … Happy blogging, friends!

Denyse O'Leary is like a goldfish, constantly surprised to to find herself stuck in a bowl. At Mindless Hack, one her several dozen absurd blogs, she is staggered and amazed to learn that not all white born-again Christians are Republicans. She quotes a Zogby Poll: "In both Missouri and Tennessee, white evangelicals who ranked jobs and economy as the most important issue area in deciding how to vote far outnumbered those who considered abortion and same-sex marriage most important.

Advanced Creation Science, or simplistic propaganda?

Here's a historical tidbit about me that some may find interesting. As a teenager, I lived in Libya for a couple of years. My dad was a Gas Lift Specialist for Exxon, and we lived in the little town of Marsa al Burayqah, located about halfway between Libya's two capitols, Tripoli and Benghazi.
