February 20th, 2012 Daniel Fincke So children, after he destroyed almost all of humanity with a giant flood, God gave us the rainbow as a symbol that he would never destroy humanity again and that instead things were going to be ‘FAAABUUULOUUUUSS!!!’ Your Thoughts?

February 8th, 2012 Daniel Fincke That’s right. Mitt Romney, America’s most famous representative of the Church of Latter Day Saints no longer belongs to the Mormon faith. His associations with the church were invalidated when a moment ago I took it upon myself to unbaptize him. So, spread the word far and wide, fellow atheists, Mitt Romney is now one [...]

February 7th, 2012 Daniel Fincke From his comedy album Werewolves and Lollipops, Patton Oswalt sums up many people’s disappointments with the premise of the Star Wars prequels: It’s weird that objectively I fully understand and usually agree with many of the criticisms of the prequels and yet still personally love them. Are they flawed? Absolutely. They could have been 15 [...]
Patton Oswalt on Arguments Against Gay Marriage
February 4th, 2012 Daniel Fincke Pretty hilarious: From Patton Oswalt’s Finest Hour. In the same show he is as funny as can be on romantic comedies and on “gay friend” tropes in movies. The DVD is coming soon. (Thanks to Leanna for the video.) Your Thoughts?

January 12th, 2012 Daniel Fincke …and this trailer is so Wes Andersony (Slate nicely breaks down how) that at first it struck me like he was descending into self-parody. But by the end I felt like I had just watched a charming two minute movie. Watching the actual full length film might spoil the charm. I’ll have to think over [...]

I’m a Muppet of a Man, I’m a Very Manly Muppet
January 11th, 2012 Daniel Fincke Life’s like a movie, make your ending, keep believing, keep pretending… As Tyler Cowen was talking about in the last post, humans are inexorably drawn to stories. I even like to think of every sentence as a story. It stars a subject which verbs something. And in my childhood there were two stories that loomed [...]

January 6th, 2012 Daniel Fincke As someone whose body must be made of at least 20% Dorito since I eat so many of them, the revelation of the secret ingredient made perfect sense to me.

December 3rd, 2011 Daniel Fincke I know Dan Barker claims to be only a former Christian minister but he still has a gift for bringing the Gospel message alive in a fresh, new way that makes powerful sense of it.

December 2nd, 2011 Daniel Fincke What kinds of philosophers choose the name for their school of philosophy from the word for dogs? The cynics, who were basically social-convention flouting performance artists and proto-south park scatalogical/philosophical satirists of their time.
