WASHINGTON The chairman of the Federal Communications Commission held firm yesterday against pressure from senators who want him to delay a vote next week on a new media-ownership rule.

FCC Chairman Kevin Martin was joined by his four fellow commissioners for an oversight hearing before the Senate Commerce Committee, where the bulk of the questioning was directed at Martin and his media-ownership plan.

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., at one point asked the chairman “will you agree today” to postpone the vote. Martin responded, “No.”"

One of the biggest axes I have to grind is with "the universe is 'fine-tuned', therefore god exists" argument. It's all based on the premise that if an event has a very low probability of occurring, it must be "special" and therefore must have a miraculous origin.

The fact of the matter is that everything, from the completely mundane to the profound, is a product of low probability events. They aren't special. They are the norm. It couldn't be otherwise.

Using "fine-tuning" arguments, I could use the fact that I took a shit at 10:37 AM as evidence for the existence of god.

"WASHINGTON - The controversy over destroyed CIA interrogation tapes is shaping up as a turf battle involving the courts, Congress and the White House, with the Bush administration telling its constitutional coequals to stay out of the investigation.

The Justice Department says it needs time and the freedom to probe the destruction of hundreds of hours of recordings of two suspected terrorists. After Attorney General Michael Mukasey refused congressional demands for information Friday, the Justice Department filed late-night court documents urging a federal judge not to begin his own inquiry.

The administration argued it was not obligated to preserve the videotapes and told U.S. District Judge Henry H. Kennedy that demanding information about them "could potentially complicate the ongoing efforts to arrive at a full factual understanding of the matter.""

GravatarAll arguments for existence fail, ultimately.

I wrote a wicked cool paper for my Nature and God class frosh year that attacked Anselm's argument. I was pissed at the prof, one of my faves, not because of the grade (an A-), but because he didn't like the forumulation of the ontological argument I used. He was right, but I still think my approach was strong (and he intimated that he agreed). For 20 years I've meant to revisit it and tweak the argument, but I'm pretty fucking lazy.

Which proves my Dogz exist.

Gravatar the Xtian fundies will have campaigned abstinence-only back into being.

Congress, yes, our Democratically-controlled Congress, is doing its damndest to help them. But they've figured out that it's now a state-by-state battle. And, in a lot of states, the fact that that shit is a waste of time and money will doom it. Sure, they'll have a day when the teacher does a lesson on, "or, you could just not have sex," but it won't be, as it is now, the whole enchilada.

Gravatar"What standard of proof would be employed in "proving" a "belief"?"

You just stated that existence cannot be proven by logic, so it seems somewhat futile to try. What's more important, at least in my view, is how does a belief have an effect. Believing in God, for example, provides tangible, positive benefits in the lives of many people. It can also have obvious negative effects. The belief, and its effects, are independent of the reality - whether God exists or not. If God exists, one's belief or nonbelief has no effect on his existence. Same as if God doesn't exist.


GravatarI got nothin

That's not stopping the rest of us.


GravatarI'm a card-carrying physicist. Some days I believe in a deity, and some days not. It seems to me that if there is a deity, and if she/he/it wants human beings to believe out of faith, then she/he/it is going to be sure that there is no way to prove or disprove her/his/its existence.

All so-called "proofs" of the existence or non-existence of a deity seem to me nonsense. On the other hand, the nutty designs that some biological systems show today and have shown in the past seem to me very strong arguments against "intelligent design". It's certainly possible to believe in the existence of a creator without believing she/he/it takes minute care of every last detail. On the other hand, intelligent design presumes a creator.

Econ 102


You truly have a gift for stating the obvious and understanding nothing. Existence is, by definition, independent of perception (or, in this case, belief). But existence is a phenomenological concept that cannot be "proven" within the bounds of logic. Logic, in turn, cannot establish anything, only that the reasoning used to reach a conclusion based on premises is a valid conclusion.

Any argument for the existence of anything necessarily presumes the existence it seeks to prove. And existence itself is never established; at best only identity can be established.

But the question is: how does one "prove" a "belief." Strikes me as a contradiction in terms, that's all.


GravatarI slid my HaloScan comments panel over to the right... I suggest everyone else do the same.

GravatarOf course, nothing can ever be proven with 100% certainty. "Proof" is shorthand for degree of certainty or high probability. There's also a difference between proof by some formal standard and essential universal acceptance of a concept.

This is why one will probably never be able to "prove" global warming, certainly not in the time needed to deal with it. It's better just to focus on effects (and potential effects), the probability of them, and what to do about them.

God must exist because the odds of X happening is 10 raised to the power of minus 40 or some even smaller number. Well, if you follow ANY chain of events, and multiply the probabilities together, you'll always get a tiny number, always. By the same argument that these folks use to make the case that life needed a divine intervention, I can argue that my farting just now was a miracle.

Unless the probability is exactly zero, no miracles need be invoked.

Gravatarn fact, he may be a victim of the church's ex-gay reparative therapy program. Having failed to find heterosexuality through Jesus it appears that Murray was booted out of the youth program and out of the church. Crushed by this rejection and overwhelmed by rage and despair thanks to the curse of homosexuality, Murray went on a killing spree that ended with himself.

GravatarThanks. Your affinity for slanties has me slightly , uh, arou... I'd better be quiet now.

Gravatar Memo from the principal's office: "Our kids are dumb and poor, so lower your expectations accordingly. If you start passing more students, you'll get a $3,000 bonus"

Having spent years in public education, I believe every word of that except for the $3000 part. More like, a $30 gift certificate

GravatarTROY, Ohio -- Inmates at the Miami County Jail in Troy are under orders to paint the cellblocks pink to test the sheriff's theory that the color will have a pacifying affect on prisoners.

Sheriff Charles Cox said he's entering the academic debate over the color pink's calming abilities.


GravatarNTodd, email sent.let us hope?

I miss them both. And others.


GravatarThey did a study back in the sixties where they told one set of teachers that their students were dumb as rocks and told another they were gifted. The allegedly gifted students received measurably greater attention and performed better.


Gravatar"are under orders to paint the cellblocks pink to test the sheriff's theory that the color will have a pacifying affect"

"failed gay reparative therapy program"


Could there possibly be a connection?


GravatarI've known many a time when a little "pink" would soothe my nerves.


Gravatar"BTW, they're painting the cell bars purple."

Man, they all are going to on suicide watch.


GravatarHey now, purple is a good dolour!


GravatarWhere is agave, anyway?

He called me a dick one night, told me to delete his pic from the Atriots album, and stormed off.

I have the effect on people. No, really. Shocking, I know...

This is depressing on so many levels, from the psychological damage done to people like him by religious fundamentalism, to the future violence and repression against gays that this event will no doubt be used to try and justify. This is Reichstag fire stuff.


GravatarDid you go out to dinner last night?

Yep. Had the chicken parmesan w/ spaghetti and a Summit Extra Pale Ale.

Later, we met up with some friends (one who lives in NOLA) and I had some bubblejack Pale Ale. Terrific. Hoppiest beer around.

All and all, an okay b-day.


Gravatar"They did a study back in the sixties where they told one set of teachers that their students were dumb as rocks and told another they were gifted. The allegedly gifted students received measurably greater attention and performed better."

GravatarFor a pacifist you're awfully abusive.

1) I'm not a goddamned pacifist. Jesus tits, how many fucking times do I have to say it.

2) I'm nonviolent. Never said I wasn't vulgar or an asshole.

3) I suffer not lightly fucktards.

GravatarHarrum. Arthur wants these for Christmas. Or, in the absence of fuzzy he wants These. With various faces. The point is, they squeak and he can't break thru them.

I'm not going to say this again. You know and love Arthur. It's Christmas. Honor your responsibilities, eh?

Happy Birthday!

Doing something grand to celebrate the moment?


Gravatar"None of them are female -- or hot -- or from the past year."

Oh, I didn't realize there were qualifiers.


GravatarI have a party in my honor to attend, fucking may be an option! It is a racy crowd.


GravatarArthur still may get a toddler for christmas.

That's okay. We've got lots of soft, downy stuff to line his crib. And Arthur is certified "non-bite-followthru" which is a good thing. That means that he will nip the little Nipper the way he should go, without actually, you know, nipping him.
