These are people who have no awareness of the scientific understanding of life, and they don’t want to understand it.

Once upon a time, in a country small, up north, near close to sea and fjord,
so peaceful and pleasantly agreeable, there lived an innocent and friendly old man who loved to draw cartoons to express his thought.

If there was any doubt about the abject inadequacy of the conservative psyche to face modern life, the airport scanner controversy should erase it forever.

The courage demonstrated by a mild-mannered cartoonist in the face of global Islamic death threats is an inspiration. I wish I could say the same about our supposedly ‘free’ press.

I get the sense that, birthers, 9/11 ‘truthers,’ climate change deniers, Alex Jonesers and other New World Order nutjobs all have this one thing in common with fundamentalists: They think that wishing will make it so.
