Welcome.

The point of this blog is to highlight things that I encounter - in the news, in the blogosphere, in popular culture - that I think illustrate inconsistent or sloppy thinking. Of course, the outcome may be that I have these shortcomings pointed out in my own thinking. So be it.

There are two things of late that - to me - seem to be especially egregious examples of sloppy thinking. When deciding on something, it seems to me that points should be both factual and relevant. Quite frequently, people point to contrary evidence that may or may not be factual, but it is certainly irrelevant.

Also, this may be occasionally be fun.
