What I am not, apparently, is a historian.  There is no truth behind this jocularity, but there is a serious accusation that needs to be addressed.  In a recent thread, posted by somebody who exhibits a severe naivety to logical discourse, I have been called out, as it were.  In any case, this is a response, although concise as it may be, to the presupposition of this little nimrod (used in the Biblical sense, of course) for everything abrasive.
 

Three headers, or points, are situated throughout the post.  They are so called “What is Research?”, “What is a Historian?”, and “What is peer review?”.  In all three of these categories, the author has listed examples of the criteria that need to be met in order to be sufficiently considered an expert.  In my examination of the three topics, I have not found a single criterion that would somehow invalidate my position as a Historian.

My First Conservative Thought

My First Conservative Thought

First of all allow me to briefly apologize that I am in fact drunk right now. I have had some good Cuban Rum (which is contraband by the way) and a delicious Pinot Grigio from the award winning Dellatorri winery. I am a little drunk.

Allow the record to show that it is 2:15 pm on Friday February 29, 2008.

Why am I drunk?

Well I got out of the lab by having my front caps fall off and having to go to the Dentist, but it is a good thing since I have probably slept a total of 6 hours in the last three days.

Those who know me personally and just read that can pick their jaws of the floor now because I usually go to bed at 10 and I get up at 6 in the morning. I am a healthy sleeper.

But my pod cast has been such a delightful labor of love, that I have been perpetually working on either recording, editing or promoting it in the last several days with few exceptions.

My pod cast is so much fun for me.

I decided that I need to start a business, and here is the impending conservative thought drawing ever nearer…

What do I do to start a business?

You can watch the video of my presentation "Misquoting Scripture" at the Freethought Society of Greater Philadelphia here. 

This is the Bastard Fairies. I heard of them from the Richard Dawkins site. I have sense downloaded the album, and enjoyed this song over and over.

The Bastard Fairies haven't given me shit, I'm just that stoked on their bizzare lyrics, sexually charged weirdness, and the fun of it all.

Plus, this is an atheist song if I've ever heard one.

I have certain aspects of my political philosophy that will always be rooted deeply in leftist thought.

I do not apologize for this.

I have a short list of basic leftist premises:

1.) Allowing extreme poverty to exist is unethical.

So lets discuss the institution of marriage. 

First lets all take a big disturbing look at the elephant in the middle of the room:

Why would anyone get married?

Lets examine some basic scientific facts.

If you don't listen...

That's not me speaking, but I wanted to get your attention. the author of that quote is none other than the late purveyor of bigotry Jerry Falwell's son, Jonathan Falwell, at WorldNetDaily. I was perusing the site in preparation for my upcoming blog discussion with Vox Day, another columnist for WorldNetDaily and owner of the blog Vox Popoli. (It should be an exciting exchange--I'm currently reading his book The Irrational Atheist. Stay tuned.) Apparently, Falwell is still clinging to the "Margaret Sanger was a proponent of eugenics" argument against Planned Parenthood and reproductive rights, but even more disturbing was another article I found at the same nefarious site authored by Bob Unruh, entitled "Planned Parenthood: Wanting fewer blacks 'understandable".
