Life of Pejar: February 2012
http://pejar.blogspot.com/2012_02_01_archive.html
Monday, February 13, 2012. Comment on Comment: Council Prayers. As is the practice in a number of Councils, Bideford Town Council put a prayer at the start of the agenda for its Meetings. A Christian minister of some sort was invited along to lead the prayer, and the councillors were expected to go along with it. Until one refused. Tells the story of what happened next:. Thank God Eric Pickles was on hand to give his well-informed opinion! The judgement is here. That would seem an obvious instance of the...

Life of Pejar: Wanted: A (Rather) Critical Review
http://pejar.blogspot.com/2009/01/wanted-rather-critical-review.html
Tuesday, January 20, 2009. Wanted: A (Rather) Critical Review. WARNING: Loads of spoilers for the film 'Wanted'. Bear with me, I'm going to try to justify all of my comments above. So, I said that Wanted fails to be the Matrix. This is despite the fact that it follows closely to the structure of the Matrix, at least for the first half:. It's certainly enough for Wesley, however, who just wants an excuse to shut off his conscience and revel in his new lifestyle. No good fight for him: His new purpose ...

Life of Pejar: June 2008
http://pejar.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Thursday, June 12, 2008. Time to Jump Ship. Hmm Six weeks. Try to remember where you were six weeks ago, and all the time between then and now. Then imagine being imprisoned without for that length of time without any evidence being presented against you, nor any official accusations made. Quite a thought experiment. Or perhaps something more imaginative? Why not ride the wave by getting through all that ID Card legislation he's been itching for? Members of other political parties, start asking yourselve...

Life of Pejar: Comment on Comment: Introduction
http://pejar.blogspot.com/2012/02/comment-on-comment-introduction.html
Monday, February 13, 2012. Comment on Comment: Introduction. I love Guardian's Comment is Free. I love the fact that it aspires to provide interesting and provocative commentary from a range of different viewpoints (including those anathema to the Guardian's political viewpoints). I love that when someone writes a column that is, actually, nonsense veiled by fancy words, the chances are that someone else will write a column to point it out. I love it. What I loathe are the comments beneath the Comments.

Life of Pejar: Comment on Comment: Those Pesky New Atheists
http://pejar.blogspot.com/2012/02/comment-on-comment-religion-in-news.html
Monday, February 13, 2012. Comment on Comment: Those Pesky New Atheists. A bit of a digression, of course, but it leads up for the first link of the day, " Even atheists must recognise the importance of a sociological study of religion. By Philip Ball. Comment is Free seems to love bashing atheists, both new and old, and this is a perfect example:. Okay Well, atheists have been saying that pretty much forever, so chalk that up to the atheists, right? Yes, apparently atheists doggedly refuse to recognise ...

Life of Pejar: September 2009
http://pejar.blogspot.com/2009_09_01_archive.html
Sunday, September 13, 2009. In Which I Agree With David Cameron. David Cameron has announced that he wants to cut the salaries and perks of MPs, and David Mitchell here attacks this. As a crowd-pleasing but ultimately hollow and counter-productive measure. But the best and the brightest! I hear my friends cry. 'They go for well-paid jobs, and we will lose them from political life! Nonsense, says I. Nonsense stemming from the idea that everyone cares only about money. Even looking only at the grad...Unifi...
