These aren’t really sick book reviews. I’m just not that cool. Rather, these are reviews of books I’ve been reading this past week while I’ve been sick. And since I’m feeling so crappy, these are not even going to be reviews–more like snippets of a review. Kind of a less cool version of what Armstrong […]
Jamie Heckert, PhD (University of Edinburgh), is a founding member of Anarchist Studies Network, a practitioner of integral yoga, and the co-editor of Anarchism & Sexuality: Ethics, Relationships and Power (and here’s a lovely link to the introduction: read me!!). Just imagine what would have happened if Emma Goldman popped out a baby with Michel […]
The only way to learn history.
In a not-so-rare move these days, the Son of God took some time off from ignoring the plight of almost one billion starving humans in order to help his main man, Tim Tebow, win yet another football game. In a nail-biter, Jesus (as apparent from the post-game shout-out) gave Tebow just enough divine aid to […]
First of all, I like St. Nick. At least I think I do. It’s tough work plodding through hagiography, but he seems all right. So, you know, no hard feelings Nicholas–this really isn’t about you.

This site/blog/whatever is brilliant. It’s brilliant because few people could pull this off well. Yet, this guy nails it. For instance, take a look at this particular review. I am also, it should be noted, completely unbiased. Just because he gave me a favorable five second review does not in any way dictate my feelings […]
Brian McLaren recently stopped by in order to, I can only guess, further darken my already dark towels (you better know that reference). McLaren is the author of a number of books including, A Generous Orthodoxy, A New Kind of Christianity, and his most recent, Naked Spirituality. Resisting the temptation to ask if he enjoyed […]
I have to be honest, you’re not getting the post I had originally written. The fifteen hundred word diatribe, connected to the rather snarky title, was shot down by my fiancee. Her response of, “Do you really want to drive away your last eight friends?” made me reconsider the content. Thank the Norse gods for […]
This is to sort of piggyback on the previous post. Bodybuilders for Jesus and all that. For an insane interview on how to “exercise” demons (get it?! I’m so damn funny), check out the second chapter of this devil-dealing book. But for now, here you go: I agree with everything she is saying between […]
