Philosophy
Your stuff has a dark and secret life, and it's not just, as Colbert fears, that your bean bag is gay. If you've ever wondered where your stuff comes from before you buy it, where it goes after you throw it away, how it affects people all over the world, or the kind of environmental footprint it causes, or what it ultimately says about you (and it's not how cool you are, by the way), then you should watch the short, educational and entertaining animation film The Story of Stuff. Hell, you should even watch it even if you've never wondered any of these questions.
After you've watched the animation, why not read the book too?

- If Fifty Shades Of Grey Is Not Dirty Enough For Your Taste, Try The Bible, But Don't Say I Didn't Warn You
When I was a little boy, the Bible was one of my favorite books. No, it's not because I was a goodie-two-shoes... it was because I loved the story of Sampson and how he would kick major ass and cause havoc wherever he went. I also liked the apocalyptic...
- Bill O'reilly Proves God's Existence?
It kind of sucks when some of us spend years of rigorous disciplined training and research trying to understand the nature of reality only to be one-upped by the supernatural theo-philosophical powers of pundits like Bill O'Reilly. As part of this...
- Tiny Triumphs - Lethal Drug Shortage Irony
No, I'm not talking about the fact that the standard practice is to sterilize the needle for a lethal injection (it does make one wonder, though), or even about the fact that the lethal drug has an expiration date... I'll just let Stephen Colbert...
