The Jewmanist

Last Monday, June 23, Eric (my hubby-to-be) & I went to the Second Annual IIG Awards at CFI West.

Keep in mind, I am rarely star struck, but James Randi truly lived up to the title “The Amazing”. I remember watching him on the television, performing tricks and debunking psychics. He is still full of energy and very, very entertaining.

Randi performed the rope tricks he made famous on the Tonight Show, with Johnny Carson. On this occasion, I had the honor of assisting the legendary magician and skeptic. The video proof below was captured by Rose, with my new point and shoot camera.

Read his full post here.

Eric was lucky enough to be called on stage for a trick at the end of the night. I recorded it with his simple point ‘n shoot …and it shakes every time I laugh. At one point, I laughed so hard, I started to cough.

I try to stay away from politics as much as I can, but really I just try to try. In Bart Simpson’s famous words “I can’t promise I’ll try, but I’ll try to try.”

In any case, I found the following vid via Truthdig. Here it is, “O’Reilly in One Minute”:

The title of the post “38 Seconds In…” refers to… well, watch it and you can see for yourself.

EDIT: This video is no longer available… hmmm.

Thanks to Alonzo Fyfe for starting The Pledge Project:

In the near future, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals gives its decision on “under God” and “In God We Trust”, This is one post that I must make available before that happens.

I have written this series of essays for you to use as a reference when they go out amongst the people and debate the issue. You’re going to need a way to easily get to the post that covers the issue you may be debating at any particular time. So, I want to provide this directory to Pledge Project articles.
