In Which I Sit in Judgment: Pat Robertson is EVIL
In the past I have taken little notice of Pat Robertson. I largely write him off as a kook, or laugh at his extreme pronouncements. Last week I thought it was a great joke to post the first video below from him. Once again, here was evidence of my opinion that he's a...
Trevor Noah, Donald Trump’s Tweets and Third Month Mania: Round Four
The next round of Third Month Mania is upon us. The Tonight Show didn't make a video for it so I didn't get an e-mail alert. Therefore I'm late to the party and there're only a few hours left to get your votes in. Each bracket now only has one match-up left....
Simon’s Cat: Camouflage Challenge and Comments on American Health Care
What a combination! I should probably be opining on the fate of the American Health Care Bill. However, it's getting wall to wall coverage on every news channel and you're probably sick of it already. Of course, my opinion is that its failure is the best result. A...
Trevor Noah, Donald Trump’s Tweets and ‘Third Month Mania’: Round Three
We're down to the last sixteen tweets in Third Month Mania people! This competition is getting ever more exciting. There were half a million votes in round one but by the end of round two the total was five million. The Washington Post has even come up with...
Boycott American Women …
No, those aren't my words, they're click bait! Every day I delete multiple comments trying to get onto the website. Most are trying to sell viagra, football jerseys, or some form of sex. Quite a few I can't read because they're in Russian or a character language I...
Trevor Noah, Donald Trump’s Tweets and ‘Third Month Mania’: Round Two
Last week I posted Round One on this important event - finding Donald Trump's winning tweet from all 36,000 ever written. However, only today President Trump came out with new missives that are right up there with the best....
Simon’s Cat: Dinner Date
It's a gorgeous day in New Zealand. There's not a cloud in the beautiful blue sky, and the temperature and humidity are just right. Just the sort of day that reminds me how lucky I am to be born here whatever else is wrong with my life. 🙂 This is also the sort of...
Europe Benefits from the Trump Administration
Yes, you read that correctly: I'm saying something good is coming from the Trump presidency. Before you start questioning my sanity though, read a bit further. For some time Europe has seen a rise in ultra-right-wing nationalist political parties. Now this is Europe...
Simon’s Cat Logic: Do Cats Really Hate Water?
As I said in yesterday's post, but I haven't been up to doing much so. I am trying to write a proper post about Erudite Things, but I'm not getting far at the moment. This new Simon's Cat came out a week ago and many of you will have already seen it on Why Evolution...
Trevor Noah, Donald Trump’s Tweets and ‘Third Month Mania’: Round One
The old saying goes, "A picture is worth a thousand words". I'm a bit of a wreck at the moment, so this post will mostly be picture. They have this thing in the US they call March Madness. Everyone tries to guess who will win the NCAA men's basketball. I'm a big fan...
International Women’s Day and Simon’s Cat
I'm in New Zealand, so International Women's Day was actually yesterday. However, the rest of the world being a behind us when it comes to women's rights is nothing new. 🙂 We were the first women to receive the vote in 1893. In addition, currently we have the...
SPLC Lies About Maajid Nawaz. Again.
You may remember my posts late last year about the Southern Poverty Law Center's (SPLC) 'Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists'. Here are the links: Why Maajid Nawaz Shouldn't be in SPLC's 'Guide to Anti-Muslim Extremists' Why Ayaan Hirsi Ali Shouldn't be in SPLC's 'Guide...
