You’re watching the national/network news, unfortunately a dying activity in itself (we’ve got Facebook and Inside Edition, after all). The anchor sitting in Los Angeles or New York introduces a story and they go to video featuring an on-the-scene interview with someone from, oh, I don’t know, Georgia, let’s say. As the person begins to very clearly articulate their story, …
You do not believe in evolution
I think I can prove that. And conversely, that if you do believe in evolution, you’re an outlaw. Welcome to this week’s sermonette from Church of the Infinite Chasm. First, allow me to rip a headline from recent news near our international headquarters in Augusta, Georgia. Two months ago, a young couple, Wesley Spires (left) and Ashley Solesbee, had been …
Cats & Dogs
Earlier this morning – just like yesterday and the day before that and the day before that and the day before that and the day before that – it was pouring rain. Two inches one day, an inch the next, three the day after. It seems to be never-ending. In honor of our status as Rainfall Capitol of the World, …
The very latest issue!
To review, the regular 1st Friday issue date (July 5) was totally unworkable. We asked everyone to stay open on July 4th so we could deliver, but only 87 percent of all medical offices agreed, so we decided to postpone the Examiner by one week and go with the 2nd and 4th Fridays, this month and next. And so, without …
Another clue
The front page story in tomorrow’s Medical Examiner? Here’s Clue #2. It’s only obvious, right?
This week’s Medical Examiner
Loyal readers know the Medical Examiner normally is published every 1st and 3rd Friday. Careful and loyal readers know that during July and August, we’ll be switching to 2nd and 4th Fridays before resuming the normal schedule again in September. So this week, we have an issue, dated July 12. Its cover story is suggested by the following photograph.
Take a hiatus this Hump Day
That’s right: it’s another Hump Day. Seems like this week just started, yet here we are. Need a break? In fact, need another reason – or even one – to visit The Big Apple? Well, you’ve got it! Check out Manhattan’s new urban amusement park. Very cool. I’m going! NEW YORK PARK from Black Sheep Films on Vimeo. Why can’t …
PSA of the Week
Boy and girls, think before you tweet, IM, Instagram, Facebook, text or sext. The consequences can be far reaching. This is a commercial for a longer film, but even this brief clip offers some good advice and serious food for thought.
I Hate Monday
Few things are more annoying, at least to me, than people who constantly gripe about their jobs, or who hate their job so much that they basically don’t do it, forcing their co-workers to pick up the slack. They’re stealing from their employer with every paycheck, money that could be better spend in countless ways. No doubt about it, though: …
Got faith?
Welcome to this week’s services at the Church of the Infinite Chasm, where the goal is a bit unusual: to sow seeds of doubt, or at the very least to get people to really think about the theory of evolution. “The theory?” you say. “Evolution is no longer a theory. It is an established fact.” If you are right, evolution …
