Simon BrownWall of Separation It seems that closed-door negotiations between the U.S. House of Representatives and U.S. Senate have produced a defense spending bill with a provision that could allow for discrimination against gays, lesbians and other minorities in the military. This is a truth that we can’t handle. Read moreTodd Akin, 2013 defense appropria […]

Bork, the former federal appeals court judge and failed Supreme Court candidate who died yesterday.

Simon BrownWall of Separation Louisiana officials have often been far from favorable when it comes to church-state separation, so today we are particularly happy to salute school officials in Orleans Parish for doing the right thing. This week, the Orleans Parish School Board voted to reject any science textbook “which presents creationism or intelligent des […]
Rob BostonWall of Separation The broken record that is Mat Staver, founder of the Religious Right group Liberty Counsel, is at it again: Christmas is under attack. Christmas is under attack. Christmas is under attack. You could have fooled me. I stopped in a local mall last weekend, and it sure looked to me like Christmas was in full swing. On my way there, […]
Simon BrownWall of Separation What sort of person would use a tragedy like the massacre in Newtown, Conn., as an excuse to advance an extreme, theocratic agenda? If you guessed William J. Murray, you’re correct. Murray, who heads the Religious Freedom Coalition in Washington, D.C., doesn’t blame Adam Lanza for taking the lives of his own mother and 26 others […]

It didn’t take long. First out of the crazy box was former Arkansas governor and erstwhile presidential candidat […]
Simon BrownWall of Separation A Kentucky lawmaker seems to have given church-state separation advocates an early holiday gift: a promise not to push creationism in 2013. Sen.

Rob BostonWall of Separation If you’re like me, your email inbox often contains items of a questionable nature. Despite spam filters, I still get the occasional message from a Nigerian government official offering me millions or notice that I’ve won a European lottery that I never entered. But as far as I’m concerned, chain emails of a political nature are t […]
How long ago did bacteria invade the one-celled ancestors of plants and animals to become energy-producing mitochondria and photosynthesizing chloroplasts? Researchers developed a statistical way to analyze the variation in genes common to mitochondria, chloroplasts and the eukaryotic nucleus to more precisely date these events. They found that the cyanobact […]
