It has now been over a month since my last post, kinda sad.  You may or may not have noticed that my sanctuary of blogingnessity(?) was shut down for a few days, apparently I had too much traffic (my forum which was being raided by spammers….good times).

This short blog was brought to you by Twitter.com.  I have joined the twitter world…because sure all of you love to know what I’m doing every second.

I don’t consider myself the most prolific writer of our times,  my hope would be that most bloggers wouldn’t consider themselves great writers.  However, I would say I’m a great director of information and a rather experienced ranter.  Today, I’m passing along a great article by Jonah Goldberg, Editor at Large of National Review Online entitled The Church of Green. 

Mr. Goldberg brilliantly compares environmentalism with any other form of religion.  He even quotes Bjorn Lomborg, author of the great book Cool It.  This is truely an impressive article that every single person should read, regardless of where you stand on the environmental spectrum.

Here are a few quotes I personally enjoyed…

“At its core, environmentalism is a kind of nature worship. It’s a holistic ideology, shot through with religious sentiment.”

“Environmentalists insist that their movement is a secular one. But using the word “secular” no more makes you secular than using the word “Christian” automatically means you behave like a Christian.”

 ”Never mind that full implementation of the Kyoto protocols on greenhouse gases would save exactly one polar bear…”

Here’s the link.

Oh, and here’s a really funny “blog” that is riddled with sarcasm.  Gotta love it.

Well, I did it…again.  I just spent the past 3 hours looking for my new blog theme and for some reason this one caught my eye (it could be that its 4:30 in the morning and I just got done watching possibly one of the worst songs of 2008 on VH1).  I’m not sure what it was about the other one, it just really started to bother me.  If you’ve ever spent some time looking for blog skins or themes you realize quickly that alot of designers do alot of dumb things with their designs.  I’ll probably change it up again in the next week or so.  Just ask Thomas.  Anyway, enough about all of that.

Ok, I just realized that I’m this close to ripping bad on this kid I just saw on VH1 (the same one from above).  So here’s what’s gonna happen.  Sometime soon I’m going to dedicate a post ripping on stupid songs and the stupid musicians who sing these stupid songs.  Geez, I don’t know what my deal is.  I’m usually more docile at 4:41am.
