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.

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.

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

Why the Republican candidates are so strange.

Quote:
Let’s take the present presidential election cycle, in which you have a list of candidates in the Republican party. [You look] at these people and think, “how did they get here? These are the strangest group of national candidates ever assembled, how did this happen?” The answer, most obviously, is because of Fox News. It has two million viewers who want to be entertained by politics, who need exaggerated figures to entertain them. You can only be a viable Republican if you speak to the Fox audience. They demand exaggerated figures, therefore we have conservatives who are unelectable in America.
