They probably faked that proton thingy. Who could tell if they're fooling us, cuz them proton thingys are so teensy-weensy that you can hardly see the dang thing to break it with a 21 oz. hammer.
The growing consensus on global cooling. Yeah, I was for global cooling before I was for global warming...or is it the other way around?
OMG. Canadians afraid Palin's example might reduce the number of abortions. God forbid!
Palin takes a couple of days off to send off her son to serve the USA. This is real. No styrofoam.
Repubs were hopeless two months ago. Now the Dems are fearful.
The NYT busts its delivery unions. Nice greedy liberals.
Freddie and Fannie had multiple personality disorder
Vanishing American barns. Sad. Same thing in New England. h/t, Flares
USA Today says Palin busts feminist template. Indeed she does.
Foreigners do not understand the real America. And here's Melissa on Sexy Conservative Women
From Stop the ACLU:
Did you know:
Senator John McCain routinely physically abuses his wife, Sarah Palin is a devil-worshiping satanist, Governor Palin wants to secede from the Union, Baby Trig was actually stolen from another couple in a complex scam at the hospital, Governor Palin slashed funding for special needs kids, and (as everyone on this site already knows), banned every book ever written.
Where did I learn these things? The Daily Kos? Andrew Sullivan? MSNBC?
No, I learned these things from the Barack Obama campaign website.
UK Update: Don't litter, but please kill the old folks
Roger Kimball goes after the NYT, and other easy targets. A quote:
One lesson–hardly a new lesson, but still worth mentioning–is that Democratic candidates get one sort of treatment from the Times, Republicans get quite another sort of treatment. Sarah Palin supposedly lacks the experience to be Vice-President; but what experience does Obama have to be President? What has he done? What legislation has he sponsored? What executive experience has he had? What does he stand for–beyond, I mean, the calculated political expediency that will advance his career? Where, for example, does he stand on the war in Iraq and the Surge: adamantly opposed–until it became too expensive politically, at which point he declared that the Surge succeeded beyond his “wildest dreams.” Where does he stand on offshore drilling? On taxes? On Russia’s invasion of Georgia? On an nuclear Iran? On Israel?
Roger Stone: Obama hurt himself badly. Americans are not stupid. We may not all study Sartre and Marx, but we know how to clean a carburetor or a deer or a gun, and how to drink beer. We are quite unsophisticated.
Obama rattled. Or On his heels. Or flailing. Gotta feel badly for the guy. He's never had a contested election, and he's not ready for this. How's that executive experience going, Obama?
The NYT discovers the Annenberg Challenge. One of the few things Obama has done, and it was a failure and waste of $150 million of money another person earned by creating real jobs and real products that people wanted.
Dems are smarter than Repubs, right? Further, Bainbridge considers the sophisticated Dems. Me? I am a redneck country bumpkin, moved to NYC and growing more sophisticated and conservative by the day.
Gender gaps around the world. A quote:
A husband and a stay-at-home wife in a patriarchal Botswanan clan seem to be more alike than a working couple in Denmark or France. The more Venus and Mars have equal rights and similar jobs, the more their personalities seem to diverge.
What is "the war on terror"? We have saved Iraq, and are chipping away at the sick craziness in Afghanistan - but what is it? In my opinion, it's only a "war" in the sense that there is a "war against cancer." It's a cultural cancer: If it stays where it is, who cares? But if it invades us, we do care.
