Maggie's FarmWe are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for. |

re: "Sokal-style hoax"
I'm tickled by the "sustainable childhood." Does that mean that one can survive the childhood or that childhood should last forever? I'm favoring childhood lasting forever for anyone involved with this article. "I'm tickled by the 'sustainable childhood.' Does that mean that one can survive the childhood or that childhood should last forever?"
Allow me to present "Stefonknee": http://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-3356084/I-ve-gone-child-Husband-father-seven-52-leaves-wife-kids-live-transgender-SIX-YEAR-OLD-girl-named-Stefonknee.html that needs to be beaten about the face and neck solely for the
spelling of 'steff o nee'. "Erdogan’s Self-Serving Purge Has Gone Too Far"
Is there now any doubt that this whole "coup" was a set-up by Erdogan? A fake? A Potemkin Village, designed to set in motion Erdogan's Stalinist/Caliphate purge? Don't get caught up in the conspiracy theory that the coup in Turkey was a false flag coup. This is real. Their military does this every ten years or so and often winds and overthrows the government. While Erdogan may be a turd in the soup of NATO he is Turkey's turd and they support him. His anger and vengeance are inconsistent with our beliefs but they are accepted in Turkey and the rest of the Middle East.

Trumpiness prevails. DENIAL ain't a river in Egypt there, Zach (aka Pid DNC troll)!
While truthiness means believing in something because it feels true, Trumpiness means believing in somethin without even caring whether it is true or not.

B. Hammer: When was the last time someone sang Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer, while trying to kill as many people as possible?
And what makes you think the people on the subway were engaging in anything but peaceful expression? Come on Zac, you where trying to equate 'peaceful Muslims', yelling Allah Akbar, with people singing carols on board the subway.
In the west, when you hear Allah Akbar, something like this generally follows: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3708394/Two-men-armed-knives-people-hostage-French-church.html If you don't want to follow the link: Peaceful Muslims behead a priest, in his church, while saying mass, screaming Allah Akbar! B. Hammer: Agreed. If I am a partisan democrat, I would have a hard time looking at that list too.
Truthiness prevails.

Only for people who live in cocoons. The Takbir is recited many times a day by millions of people, and is even often said by non-Muslims, "God is great."

So far the Dems haven't addressed ISIS or other mideast terrorists.
Here's an idea for the Dems to solve the problem: Pass laws that: 1. it is misdemeanor (punishable by an up to $500 fine) to slit the throat of a priest celebrating mass, unless the priest is not in favor of abortion, or is non-muslim subject to jihad. 2. All knives of people who are not registered democrats must be reported, and there shall be a 2-year waiting period for any knife purchase by non-democrats. 3. a hundred billion program to "reach out" to muslims to apologize for the way american women dress, and for the existence of churches. 4. it is a felony (punishable by death) to object to importation of radical jihadists intent on killing US citizens. That should take care of the problem, and restore the Dems as the true "law and order" party.

OOPS - I forgot to add the most important part of the new law the Dems should propose for their new ISIS platform:
"Anyone who has made a "donation" or paid a bribe to the Clinton Foundation, or has paid Bill over $16 million to serve on the board of any organization receiving federal funds, shall not be found guilty of any crime of priest throat-slitting, or any other crime, and shall be automatically pardoned for any crime, whatsoever."

Protect wolves or hunt them? Western states are in the crosshairs
QUOTE: "The larger society has made the call that they value wildlife," he said, "and our job is to steer (wolves) toward recovery. Wolves are doing quite well. Is there an option not to have wolves in Washington? That is not in our foreseeable future." http://www.sacbee.com/news/local/environment/article91860157.html It is apparently in the national interest to have a large wolf population and to hell with rural areas that are dependent on the livestock industry. The left are always willing to risk other people's lives and property for no good reason. Will these lefties ever go to the woods to see these wolves? What benefit does the wolf bring to rural areas? Are the left willing to financially compensate the rancher or livestock owner for all the animals lost due to predation by wolves? Are the left willing for people's dogs and cats to be eaten by wolves? What does that say about the left's concern for 'pet children'?
I would so much rather have PEOPLE hunt the wild animals and keep the numbers in check, then allow wolves to roam free throughout rural areas to destroy livestock and decimate elk populations. When wolves are roaming the Seattle suburbs, maybe these dummeis will have a change of heart. But until then, it doesn't affect them, they don't care what happens, and they think wolves are 'majestic.' "Embattled dean retires after unrelenting protests
And this is in the USA, not a totalitarian state" Socialists eating socialists. It is to be encouraged. This dean is from the early usurpers of quality education and is now reaping what she sowed. the plan is clearly to develop students as a "Red Guard" destructive force like that which overwhelmed the existing Chinese communist elite. The Red Guard imprisoned and destroyed the academic and government elite.
A major difference in the US is that mayy citizens are armed in the US, thanks to the 2nd amendment. And funding can be shut off to the university so-called social science departments by Congress, as has been recently done in Japan. |
