  1. It’s them thar Bilderberg Boys that’s is responsible.
  2. From the Huffington Post: With a snowstorm blanketing the Northeast, deniers of global warming jumped at the opportunity to disprove Al Gore. Many of those deniers were over at Fox News. And those deniers were mocked by Stephen Colbert last night. After showing clips of Fox News correspondents explaining that the weather is burying Al Gore's "hysterical" theories, Colbert joined in on the ridiculous logic, deeming it "simple observational research: what ever just happened is the only thing that is happening." Using the same rationale as Fox News, Colbert couldn't help but point out that,
  3. Check and mate: http://mediamatters.org/research/200912010002 http://www.examiner.com/x-29137-Tallahassee-Environmental-News-Examiner~y2009m11d27-Climategate-debunked What sort of amazes me about you, is that you appear to believe in things for which little to no credible evidence exists, but in cases where there is plenty of evidence, you’re skeptical. In one of your other threads, I asked the following question: You responded with this, more nonsense having to do with the UN, a New World Order and global governance. Tired claims for which zero credible evidence exists:
  4. With all the other bullshit out there masquerading as truth, I no longer find this sort of shit funny - as you’ll notice if you read the comments following the video, lots and lots of people agree with the Viking dipshit. Science is, like, real. Warmest January on record http://climateprogress.org/2010/02/05/hottest-january-in-uah-satellite-record-roy-spencer-global-warming/ Climate scientists have long predicted more turbulent winter weather as a result of climate change. http://www.ucsusa.org/global_warming/science_and_impacts/impacts/early-warning-signs-of-global-3.html
  5. Well then, it makes even less sense. The dude made a video to point out that there's snow in MN, where there has always been lots of snow, and that supposed to serve as some sort of evidence of...well, what exactly?
  6. Oh jesus fucking christ...you're right, a snowstorm does blow that whole climate change conspiracy out of the water.
  7. I know, I’m just as surprised as you - I didn’t think it was possible, but the GOP went and found someone even less qualified and/or suitable for office than Bush – of course, they had to go all the way to the wilds of Alaska to find her, but find her they did. If she doesn’t work out, there’s a rumor that for the 2016 elections, the Republicans have their eye on one of them there strange life forms that live off of and around deep, deep fucking ocean hydrothermal vents.
  8. Those five or six words are, presumably, the platform on which she will run for president, as she has hinted. Alone, if we were to completely disregard the million and one other ridiculous things she is guilty of, the note on hand thing would be less of an issue, but taken together, with all that other stuff, it simply cannot be ignored. If you need to write your political platform on your hand, to remind yourself of that platform, maybe you’re not quite ready for prime time, or maybe even an elementary school level debate. She is the worst politician of my lifetime, and considering the com
  9. I’ve been sort of playing with the idea that the diverging timelines are related to the Schrodinger’s Cat theory, which, after attempting to explain it myself, and failing, could thus be summed up using someone else’s much more lucid explanation: There aren't two timelines or parallel dimensions or alternate realities happening on Lost. Remember the Single Timeline Theory, Course Correction and all of that? Keep that in mind because it's all going to go back to it. The question is which Course it is going to be Corrected to in the end. Many people are at least familiar in passing with the
  10. But seriously, I'm going to create a list for him.
  11. One of my favorites, largely responsible for kindling my interest in literature.
  12. As someone has already pointed out, in the short term, this decision may result in extra scrutiny being paid to corporate donations and influence, etc – sort of like the atmosphere following 9/11 – it would have been extremely difficult to pull off another hijacking with all the vigilance out there on account of Bush telling us all to be all vigilant and shit. However, a few years later and standards begin to relax, folks pay less attention, and people generally are not as concerned with security as they were on 9/12. That whole, throw a frog in a boiling pot of water and he’ll jump out (or
  13. And you know this because? I’m not particularly worried about how this decision will affect the immediate future, but ten, twenty years out, and the results could be disastrous.
  14. I didn’t catch it as it happened, but Glenn Greenwald has blogged about its effect. http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/index.html?story=/opinion/greenwald/2010/01/28/alito
  15. At 10 hours vs. 10 + days on the Kindle, they’ve already lost the battery usage war by a huge margin. Given that they’ll never rival an e-ink device where battery life is concerned, I think it would have made more sense to focus on other attributes, by and large, multitasking. As a (happy) itouch owner, I just don’t see a strong need for a much larger, less portable, in some ways, less functional version of a device I already own. I’m also sort of flabbergasted by the continued lack of Flash support. There’s a lot of talk surrounding HTML 5, but it will probably be quite a while before it is w
  16. The lack of multitasking is an absolute killer – for roughly half the price of the starter model, one could score a decent netbook that does everything the pad can do, plus a good deal more. Apple doesn’t fumble too often, but I think they really dropped the ball on this one.
  17. As a great fiction consumer and an even better regurgitater, you, I guess, would know.
  18. Quite a loss, as they don't make many like Zinn nowadays. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/01/28/us/28zinn.html
  19. Hey – you can count me among those seven, though, it’s Amazon’s best selling device, so there are probably a few more of them out there. I own the original Kindle, and couldn’t be happier with it – as someone who reads a lot, it is the best gadget I’ve ever owned.
  20. Some voters were angry because she identified Curt Schilling as a Yankees fan – those voters should probably never vote again.
  21. 100 years? Are you kidding, his indignation only goes back as far as January 20, 2009.
