Regarding a Dumb Criminal Story about someone who tried to pay for a false hooker with a salad Michael Medved said "Well I'm sure he'll have plenty of salad to eat... in the pokey." I don't think it was intentional because this is a guy who will tell you exactly how many swears a movie has if it peeves him off enough.

Dr.Zeppelin posted:All properly-designed scientific experiments have a control group. Without an identical copy of Earth where an industrial society never develops, you have no idea if the current climate trajectory is different from a control group, therefore You know the above sounds like a joke, but I actually went to SAS training in DC taught by some former Columbia professor who's now and a consultant and also public health worker for the UN that appeared to doubt the evidence for climate change and cited the lack of a control earth as a legitimate issue.

I've heard that Venus and Mars, together, actually make up a half-decent control group. They are both Earth-like in physical make up, with Venus showing how a natural version of global warming occurs and Mars showing how a thin atmosphere can retain heat.

Would Fox New's version of "The New Colossus" be: "Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free....except the Mexicans, gently caress them"? I do wonder if judging by their coverage of the Mexican immigration scandal, they'd have been on the "No Italians, No Irish" side of history back in the day

It's impressive how openly racist the conservatives are allowed to be. I know it would have gone over terribly but I'd have loved her response to have been "who's the head of the Christian peace movement?" to get whatever asinine answer they would come up with on the spot.

quote:But it was Gabriel, a Lebanese Christian by birth, who was most vitriolic when Ahmed asked her question. Gabriel dismissed as “irrelevant” the “2.3 million Arab Muslims living in the United States [when] it took 19 hijackers — 19 radicals — to bring America down.” She mocked Ahmed’s “point about peaceful, moderate Muslims” by making quotation marks with her fingers when she said the word peaceful. the scary part isn't that the Pam Gellers and Brigette Gabriels exist, it's that the other people didn't feel this was out of line. is anti-Islamism a 9/11 thing, an always thing, or frustrated racists looking for a group they can hate on in a socially acceptable matter? do these people not remember the worldwide outpouring of support for the US after 9/11? of course despite their obsession with Benghazi they probably haven't even seen images like this.  Gabriel's hatred is palpable. You can tell she'd love to drop the code words.

FMguru posted:This is mostly my privilege talking (because its unlikely that if such talk gets out of hand that it'll be my head that gets cracked open), but I'm kind of delighted by all this crazy talk. Every year, another several million Millennials reach voting age - a cohort that's increasingly non-white and non-Christian - and they look around and see one of the two main political parties proudly pulling poo poo like this. Every year that goes by where Republicans cater to the rapidly dwindling electoral sector of scared old white conservatives at the direct expense of appealing to, well, anyone else is another load of bricks with which to build their mausoleum. They just keep digging that hole. They're so trapped in the sealed Fox/Limbaugh information cocoon that they can't even recognize basic facts of demographics - to them, there will always be a nigh-unlimited number of conservative white voters Out There who just need to be energized to go the to polls and then all will be well, for ever and ever, amen. Yeah I agree I'd (as an admitted white male that is privileged to not face the insult of these things) rather them be outward with this stuff so that people can see them for what they really are. Anytime some Republican starts talking about not being so racist or sexist you have to parse what they are saying correctly. They almost NEVER say that their party members should stop enacting policies that hurt minorities or women, just that they shouldn't be so open about saying what they are doing. Those guys are the real evil since they know what's up but willingly try and mislead people in order to enact their lovely goals.

You remember Dinesh D'Souza who did documentary called Obama 2016 and is about to be sentenced to prison? He said this last night quote:As D’Souza sees it, Obama comes from a generation that views America as “a force for evil.” He did not mention that both he and the president were born in 1961. “You can say this group believes in American Exceptionalism, but instead of believing that we’re exceptionally good, they believe we’re exceptionally evil,” he added.

You guys were in the deep end a decade ago, you're drilling into the Marianas Trench now. This should be fun: http://www.washingtonpost.com/world...2a52_story.html quote:U.S. Special Operations forces captured one of the suspected ringleaders of the terrorist attacks in Benghazi in a secret raid in Libya over the weekend, the first time one of the accused perpetrators of the 2012 assaults has been apprehended, according to U.S. officials. Taking bets now on how this is actually a bad thing, immediately disqualifying "too little too late" and "what convenient timing" as too easy.
