Why Republicans Suck

Even if you get past their false allegiance of constitutional authority, their base is debased.

Does anyone really believe that the Republicans are for a democratic republic anymore? Has anyone seen them fight for constitutional ethics lately, or just for religious-based Christian institutionalization?

A logical assessment of the world is not likely to even be on the field in our next election battle. So once again, we will be left with 2 bad choices, both "guided by god" to do what's next (as opposed to what's reasonable).

I know it's Alexander Cockburn, but when he's right....

Dissidents Against Dogma

"Counterpunch editor Alexander Cockburn, in a scathing indictment of global warming hysteria, shines a light on how climate science is being manipulated by climate modelers and the media. His commentary includes the conclusions of many top climatologists, geologists, geophysicists, astrophysicists and meteorologists.

Counterpunch describes itself as offering “muckraking with a radical attitude” and Cockburn is no fan of industry. But he does understand what’s going on in the global warming debate:

Back in the 1970s, as the oil companies engineered a leap in prices, the left correctly identified and stigmatized the the conspiracy. Some thirty five years, here’s the entire progressive sector swallowing, with religious fervor, a far more potent concoction of nonsense to buttress a program which will savagely penalize the poor, the third world and the environment.

God Of The Universe: Lord Of Apathy And Neglect

I guess Madison, Jefferson, et al., are "right-wing Islama-phobic bloggers", as well

I've been watching this story for a while.

College's foot bath plans spark backlash
Project for Muslim students draws accusation U-M Dearborn is giving faith favored treatment.

It seems that not only are the administrators of the University of Michigan-Dearborn willing dhimmis, but the ACLU, as well:

Gallagher
[spokeman for the University] argued taxpayer money won't be used for the foot baths because the $100,000 total bill for the bathrooms is underwritten by a fee students pay for building maintenance.
...
The Detroit chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union isn't getting involved, arguing the foot baths are secular since non-Muslims could use them, said spokeswoman Rana Elmir.

One for Clyde

At the last public display of what remains of G.od's O.wn P.arty some mammal named Sam Brownback joined two other mouthbreathers in indicating they did not believe in evolution. The NYT then gave this homo erectus a few inches to further hang himself. Over at The Edge, a place we should all frequent, Jerry Coyne, a professor in the department of ecology and evolution at the University of Chicago, filets him in a response - Don't Know Much About Biology.

A brilliant filmmaker, & my favorite director


I ran across this while searching for an authoritative list of Dell Publishing Co.'s Alfred Hitchcock Presents books. If pressed, I would probably say that the "Reduco Obesity Slayer" newspaper ad in Lifeboat is my favorite.



List of Hitchcock cameo appearances
from Wikipedia

"Thirty-seven of director Alfred Hitchcock's 53 surviving major films (the second is lost) contain a cameo appearance by Hitchcock himself.... This playful gesture became one of Hitchcock's signatures and fans would make sport of trying to spot his cameos....

Hitchcock indisputably appears in all 30 features from Rebecca (his first American film) onward; before his move to Hollywood, his appearances were sporadic."

You History Buffs Prepare To Laugh Your Ass Off

I just flipped through TBN, my favorite comedy channel, and one of their "history" authorities was telling the son of the (homo) Paul Crouch that Alexeis de Tocqueville's seminal Democracy in America states that the reason the US was different from Europe was because of, get this, FAITH!

He even brought out the book and pointed to it! I guess that proves it then. Forget that crass property rights and common man/ anti-aristocracy shit THAT TOCQUEVILLE ACTUALLY WROTE ABOUT, it was Christianity that separated the US from Europe. I'm laughing so hard I almost spit up!

Jesus would be so proud...

Embrace The Inconvenience

Michael Behe, the biochemist who started the whole Intelligent Design thing with his book Darwin's Black Box, has a new book out. In it, he uses mathematical models to show how "Darwinism" can't produce certain biomolecular binding sites.

Several early reviews trash his mathematics and poorly reasoned premises, as to be expected. But this argument threw me for a loop: the "designer," who/whatever that is, specifically made malaria. Yeah. The argument atheists have been throwing up for decades, he embraces.

How do you worship such a beast? Creators of biogenic plagues are not looked kindly upon by modern history; deliberate spreaders of them are the villains of much science fiction. Behe's argument is not only logically vapid, it reaches a conclusion that is totally anti-theistic.

Brilliant! Good show, old man!
