I mean, can anyone here seriously look at George Bush and say with all certainty that he did not evolve from a chimpanzee?

Now, personally, I'd go with devolved.

“Unfrozen Caveman Columnist” is teh funny. It’s just a little too long for common use. Sorry, dude.

Sorry for being OT, but what the heck is going on around here? Sadly, No is all white and blue and weird looking. Did you guys do that on purpose or should I be calling a guy?
you’ve got white and blue? I’m looking at black words on a dark grey background.

Man, I’m sorry. I thought everyone knew I had first dibs on wingnut anti-evolutionism.

You do. It just means I’m gonna have to get up extra early next time… :-)

I’m surprised that nobody ever picked up on my nickname for Jeff Jacoby (everybody seemed to love “Doughy Pantload” for Goldberg), especially since it fits in great with the subject matter of his asinine column… Ladies and gentleman, I give you:

I’ve seen double-think before, but hell, same paragraph? That’s goddam impressive that’s what that is.
Most nutters start with a flawed premise and don’t totally contradict it until near the end. This man may be the most efficient right wing columnist ever.

I think we’re missing some of the finer points of conservative philosophy here. Maybe it’s because we’re just not as high-falootin’ as they are, but this almost appears Hegelian. The synthesis of it not being a scientific theory juxtaposed to the antithesis which is science is not to be discounted. Maybe Jacoby also meant it in a Schopenhauerian phenomenon-noumenon conflict. Either way, this must be some very deep thinking on their part, much too deep for us Bush-haters to understand.

I dont understand why repuggies are pushing the monkey-human theory out of the window. There MUST be some truth to it.

Come on!

I am more disturbed and annoyed by the pieces of Cathy Young than Jacoby. Jacoby is a conservative who doesn’t pretend otherwise. Most of Young’s articles on the Globe are collections of Gotcha points from far-rightwing blogs. They are intellectually dishonest and extremely biased, yet she masquerades as a moderate.

Also, creepily, there’s no notation as to which of you boys wrote this, so I don’t actually know who to mock here. So, if it wasn’t actually as I suspect Brad, I’ll have to apologize to him for the following:
Duh. Dr Myers *always* gets to mock the anti-evolution wingnuts. Also, he gets first dibs on squid-oriented oddness, and anything involving invertebrate sex.
Honestly, Brad. Thou Shalt Not Poach Thy Non-Chordate Ancestors. (Though steaming is probably okay.)

Falsification is no good, as he would realise if he had considered the Flying Spaghetti Monster Hypothesis, which can't be disproved either. They now have a video game Sadly, my display has gone a pissy two tone blue. Where is the light on dark action?
