Re: I thought words have meaning, but maybe that's just pastry.
 

Hank has now slipped into the bizarro-metaverse, where it's the people who opposed the war in Iraq who were yelling "Treason!!!"

In that world, Obama has a goatee and asks recalcitrant TPers for their agonizers.

Re: I thought words have meaning, but maybe that's just pastry.
 

what is an agonizer? Can it shoot down a SCUD?

Re: I thought words have meaning, but maybe that's just pastry.
 

Sorry, just trying to flush out the Star Trek geeks.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Richard Dawkins on Rick Perry. Good stuff.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

is the 38% number correct? I hope my cutting posts here showing that there are gaps haven't been the cause of the general public rejecting evolution, which is a theory Less, a strong theory, but still a theory. The scariest thing about the current right wing is the rejection of science, but they will never actually run the country. The saddest thing is the "intelligent" people who aren't really understanding the science, and that gaps do exist, and that it's okay gaps exist and write something that real educated people must find vapid on its face. Sad all around.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

how does the rest of the board feel? I do not think it fair to blame Obama for hurricane Irene just because he hasn't cured global warming. thoughts?

it's easy to be in favor of all sorts of green things when you pay your labor nothing. I've always said the greatest heroes in industry are CEOs that keep manufacturing here, somehow covering the cost differential. As the article says, Apple surely has the product line and profit margin to do it. The guy led a great company that makes products I love, but don't start sucking his dick over how much of a great example he was.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

The gaps in your understanding have saddened me for years.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

If evolution truly worked then people who hate would have died out centuries ago. Obviously that hasn't happened.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Can't we smart people just secede? Or let the dumb people secede and just keep the money.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Yes, you are a regular reminder.

(sorry. Too easy)

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

You smart people need us, and don't you forget it.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Who is John Galt?

Why the Republican candidates are so strange.
 

Murdoch as Galt?
 

Ty, if you wanted to reply to Less, you use that "quote" button.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Didn't Perry suggest that?

Romney
 

Didn't realize he called his California house "Gitmo".

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

There's too much money to be made off the dumb.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

The problem is "theory" to the common Fox News viewer and "theory" in scientific discourse have far different meanings. To the dim trailer trash who are excited by imbeciles like Bachmann, theory is a negative descriptive. To a scientist, in context, it is a way of describing a process the evidence supporting the existence of which is so overwhelming Dawkins is justified in arguing the thing is beyond dispute when writing to a general audience.

To the unschooled, or willfully ignorant, general public who misunderstand and abuse "theory," evolution is properly categorized as "fact."

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

One need only hear the tone with which the average Fox News presenter says, "theory" with a barely-controlled eye-roll to understand that this is exactly what is being communicated.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

None of this will change until Ailes dies. He's a paranoid madman who believes know-nothingism is the lamentable, but necessary last bulwark against an onsalught of moral relativism.

Thankfully, this is not a far off event.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

You be getting a visit from Fox News Security.

Also, I do not think they will have any trouble replacing him.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Hank, are you OK? If you won't rise to this bait, something must be wrong.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Ailes is irreplaceable. It's his magic touch - his feel for the Angry Ohioan in all disenfranchised white Americans - that keeps the know-nothing audience.

Murdoch's the genius behind the salacious headlines that bring in normal viewers.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

And rebut it how? Sometimes I'm more than mainly - some would even say entirely - correct.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

You are entirely correct, certainly.

What does that have to do with Hank's ability and willingness to respond, probably by calling you stupid and adding to his own personal scorecard?

Amazing
 

Cantor says that he can't use his credit card to fix his car because his hours have been cut back at work and he can't cover all of his existing expenses right now. Nevermind that he will be fired for not showing up for work because he doesn't have a car.

The brilliant thinking of the "fiscal conservative" mind.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

no. once I realized you took biology for Liberal arts majors freshman year at enormous state university I decided i really had too strong an opponent here to make the argument anymore:(:confused:

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Perry is Closer to the GOP Nomination Than You Think, Bitches.*






* Last word not technically part of the article title, but might as well be.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

wow, great post, and scary.
does it matter who is nominated? Yes, because he/she will likely be the next president.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

we need to decide what type of crazy is least objectionable. Fer instance, does believing in evolution really impact on any issue a president may face? I don't think so. Meanwhile, some recognition that reducing carbon emissions is a good idea might feedback into policy. Do we have one that loves the Baby Jesus, hates abortionists, knows the Devil planted dinosaur bones, but can see clear to trying to motivate development of hybrids or electrics or fuel cells?

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

In the Kubler-Ross stages, you appear to be stuck in bargaining. We don't get to decide what type of crazy is least objectionable. We will be stuck with the crazy flavor that emerges from the GOP primaries.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

we could try to influence, like going to tea party gatherings and going "I like X, cuz X is pushing for hybrids, I'm sick of all our money going to them Arab Al queda guys for gasoline." Hell, we could imply if we quit sending the Arabs money Obama's islam campaign money will dry up.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

Clearly, Hank, you should run. I would bet you could get the entire anti-evolution, pro-global warming vote.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

I'm pro choice:( Actually I'm pro-abortion in some cases, like I've been trying to convince Ty@50 to use his time machine and go talk to your mommy about getting it done.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

We're a million miles from the election. Minutes are days in the calendar from here to next November. And Obama has a big war chest.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

is it big enough to hire 5 or 6 million people, because he's toast otherwise.

edit: answer my question about buying decent wine in Pa please.

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

On the first, no. But these GOP candidates are fucking atrocious.

One the second, Hank 1, Me 0. (There are specialty stores, but you aren't going to find super, super high end stuff there.)

Re: My God, you are an idiot.
 

A few years ago, I showed you that your notion that I was a slip-and-fall lawyer in West Bumfuck was idiotic (or, pure Hankness).

So now you pretend that you know where I went to college and what I studied? What next -- you going to claim that I went to Bob's Elementary School and Tackle Shop?
