Happy 666th Post! Here’s Some Hitchens!
Technically, this is the 666th post in this incarnation of my blog, seeing as I’d deleted old posts spanning from 1997 until more or less early on in the previous decade. In any case, there’s often something rather amusing about silly superstitions attached to a number (and such was taken full advantage of during a certain Mass in Los Angeles on 6/6/06). So, in the spirit of having fun at the expense of someone else, here’s Mr. Hitchens doing what he does best: taking the piss out of stale and rather revealing beliefs. I’ll drink to that!
UA Variety Hour 02: Steve Sailer, etc.
Steve Sailer, blogger and author of America’s Half-Blood Prince sat down with host Kevin I. Slaughter for a discussion about the president and other concerns. From bullfighting to Modern English, the conversation covered a number of topics outside of Human Biodiversity, sometimes shortened to HBD, but covered as well… Before that are a few items of interest, two very short excerpts from two books – one being Pentti Linkola’s Can Life Prevail? – A Radical Approach to the Environmental Crisis, from the folks at corrupt.org. After the interview, Slaughter reads a selection from Robert G. Ingersoll that he recorded for infidels.org. Tune in NOW! Better yet, SUBSCRIBE!

An amazing amount of Lesser Magic examples in these video clips, and plenty of evidence that recipients for such are in abundance.

Randi: How To Fake Psychic Powers
James Randi (born August 7, 1928) (stage name The Amazing Randi) is a stage magician and scientific skeptic best known as a challenger of paranormal claims and pseudoscience. Randi is the founder of the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF). Randi began his career as a magician, but when he retired at age 60, he switched to investigating paranormal, occult, and supernatural claims — which he collectively calls woo-woo. Although often referred to as a “debunker”, Randi rejects that title due to its perceived bias, instead describing himself as an “investigator”. He has written about the paranormal, skepticism, and the history of magic. He was a frequent guest on The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, and is occasionally featured on the television program Penn & Teller: Bullshit!.
