ABOVE: P.J. Gladnick circa 1965


The funny thing about P.J. Gladnick is that when he tries to be funny, such as when he posts at Dummie Funnies, his supposed comedy blog, he is about as funny as a whoopee cushion or a squirting carnation or, frankly, the title of his blog. But when Gladnick tries to be serious, such as when he posts over at Bozell’s Circus, well, he’s pee-in-your-pants, fall-down-on-the floor funny.

Even though PJ’s entire background in science is that he’s got every episode of NCIS on VHS, he has recently been donning his lab coat and expounding upon climate science over at Newsbusters. In particular, PJ has been yelling “Blizzardz, bitchez!” and then explaining how the most respected climate scientist has renounced his former beliefs and now completely debunked the liberals’ global warming conspiracy.

Imagine if the Pope suddenly announced that the Catholic Church had been wrong for centuries about prohibiting priests from marrying. Would that be considered big news?

Of course.

And yet something like that has happened in the field of global warming in which a major scientist has announced that the world, in contrast to his previous belief, is actually cooling.

According to Gladnick, that major scientist is Mojib Latif of Germany’s “Leibniz Institute.”

Being highly skilled, as we are here at Sadly, No!, in the use of a cutting-edge technology called Google, we can tell you, even if PJ can’t, what Dr. Latif actually said:

“Just to make things clear: we are not stating that anthropogenic climate change won’t be as bad as previously thought”, explains Prof. Mojib Latif from IFM-GEOMAR. “What we are saying is that on top of the warming trend there is a long-periodic oscillation that will probably lead to a to a lower temperature increase than we would expect from the current trend during the next years”, adds Latif.

Fortunately for Gladnick there is no penalty at Newsbusters for being flat-assed wrong, and so Gladnick needn’t fear that Bozell will subject Gladnick to a public humiliation or to a cut in his paycheck. But, you know, Gladnick might really want to stop calling his own blog “Dummie Funnies” because it’s rather like the guy in the back of the short bus telling jokes about the developmentally disabled.

The Earth is definitely cooling, because the people sailing through the new shipping lanes in the Arctic still have to wear jackets and stuff.

 
 

It’s definitely been getting colder lately, and I can’t quite put my finger on the reason, but I’m positive it means that global warming doesn’t exist.

Also, calling your blog “Dummie Funnies” is just one step away from sticking your fingers into your diaper and fingerpainting the walls with the rich pigments found therein.

 
 

It’s sort of a third wave of climate findings. At first, it was noticed that the Arctic ice was melting. Checking the mean temperature (by dissolved gas in ice cores) showed that there was indeed a warming trend. This theory was called “Global Warming”. But when the focus shifted from narrowly about the poles to the whole globe, scientists began to find that what would really happen was an unsticking from the chaotic entrainment we call weather patterns.

You’ve probably seen some local chaotic entrainment: ever experience a week where it rained every day around the same time in the afternoon? These little patterns seem to persist inside chaotic systems because the state-space is made up of lots of unstable orbits. If an orbit has a small (but positive) eigenvalue, it can take a long time to drift away, resulting in a kind of entrainment.

So anyway, it was decided that a better name was Climate Change. Old average values — rainfall, temperature, etc — wouldn’t hold true as the polar warming kicked the system out of the quasi-equilibrium it was in.

All of this climate study really refined techniques for determining the past temperature of the planet and for modeling the climate on a large scale. This has lead to better understanding of the lower order, slow modes of climate change that are not anthropogenic. That’s what Dr. Latif is referring to.

And the sun is going to bed earlier! And the trees are dying! We have never seen this before! Perhaps the billionaires can save us!

Hm, its a puzzlement…

Better question: what if Alan “Ayn Rand In Drag” Greenspan declared that laissez faire capitalism was bullshit in a publicly broadcast Congressional hearing; would it cause you selfish assholes to shut the fuck up for maybe five minutes?

 
 

File under “Things you saw coming: when wingnuts and statistical modelling collide”.

This here is the nugget:

“on top of the warming trend there is a long-periodic oscillation”

Have yet to meet a single ‘nut who can comprehend the difference between cyclical changes and long-term trends. Here’s Doughbob from earlier this month:

This overlooks the fact that solar cycles are permanent “periodic occurrences,” a.k.a. a very long-term trend.

Perhaps it takes someone with my slacktastically nerdy background in econometrics to appreciate the essential stupid in this field of wingnut blartology, but the FAIL here has a Keystone-like predictability.

 
 

Imagine if the global scientific effort had some sort of grand authority, like the Pope, that every scientist had to obey.

Because, y’know, it doesn’t.

“This overlooks the fact that solar cycles are permanent “periodic occurrences,” a.k.a. a very long-term trend.”

DURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR.

Good God, are these people really that dumb, or are they just refusing to face reality?

Ironically enough, there was an ad for Priuses at that link.

 
 

on top of the warming trend there is a long-periodic oscillation

Well that certainly sounds more effective than “up on the backstroke”.

Also from Goldberg’s article: “For instance, when we have terribly hot weather, or bad hurricanes, the media see portentous proof of climate change. When we don’t, it’s a moment to teach the masses how weather and climate are very different things.”

Maybe because most members of the media are just as scientifically illiterate as you, asshole? And what the fuck does what they’re saying have to do with what this scientist is saying?

Jesus Christ, these people aren’t just wrong–they’re fucking stupid.

 
 

aren’t just wrong–they’re fucking stupid.

A medical professional would call this “co-morbidity.”

 
 

Indeed, the one saving grace of either global climate change for the warmer or cooler is they may mitigate the other.

However, it will mean more extreme weather swings. You know the old saying about being a mouse in an elephant fight.

 
 

Jesus Christ, these people aren’t just wrong–they’re fucking stupid.

And that’s why we must laugh at them.

The dichotomy of long term cooling versus intermediate term warming has been known for about thirty years. You can look at old issues of Time Magazine warning of the Ice Age to come.

These are not inconsistent, however. Global warming due to man-made pollutants is real just as the cyclical nature of long-term cooling is real. We will have another ice age, and fairly soon (it’s been tens of thousands of years since the last one, so we’re due), but before that happens in the year 10,2009, we might want to think about how to survive our own mess to get there to worry about it.

 
 

““What we are saying is that on top of the warming trend there is a long-periodic oscillation that will probably lead to a to a lower temperature increase than we would expect from the current trend during the next years”, adds Latif.

In other words: “The complexities of climate change and the determinant forces driving the climate itself are such that if one approaches the topic without respect for these inherent complexities you will end up looking like a fookin moron.”

Also.

 
 

Yeah, I read about this in a blog post by a reporter for the BBC last week. The best part of that post was this bit towards the end:

Professor Philip Stott [you can listen to the interview with him in the linked article] believes climate sceptics may seize on the research as evidence that the whole global warming hypothesis is fundamentally flawed: If natural cycles can interrupt, or even reverse climate change, maybe we don’t need to take it so seriously.

It’s not a view shared by professor Latif, who points to the resumption of warming as the cycle completes itself in a few years. The best we can hope for, he says, is a brief respite from global warming.

You know that scientists are torn. They’re inclined to publish data, because that’s how knowledge gets disseminated and progress happens. At the same time, they know that stupid people work for news orgs, and have exactly zero interest in understanding the complexities of what they publish; also, there’s stupid/venal people who are eager to discard all complexity to get the money quote that supports what they’re looking for.

It’s a bother if they’re just talking about diet research or whatever; it’s depressing when it involves something that’s likely to make the world way harder to live in in the next 100 years. Sigh.

 
 

Imagine if the global scientific effort had some sort of grand authority, like the Pope, that every scientist had to obey.

Wingnuts as a rule can’t think for themselves 99% of the time. Therefore they always look for the silverback baboon that’s squatting on the highest knoll in the area; he is taller and has a louder voice than everyone else. Therefore he must be in charge and know all the right answers.

This is why the GOP is in such a mess right now. Nobody left is smart enough to actually lead the party in a coherent direction. They had themselves a purity purge and got rid of everyone who knew fuck-all about anything.

 
 

The global warming theory has been based all along on the idea that the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans would absorb much of the greenhouse warming caused by a rise in man-made carbon dioxide, then they would let off that heat and warm the atmosphere and the land.

This is like a FAIL sandwich, with FAIL chips on the side, and a frosty mug of FAIL to wash it down. Then barfing to taste all that FAIL mixed together.

 
 

None of which matters, since, as been said here before, these nitwits speak to themselves. They’re like a herd/pod/whatever-the-plural-noun-is of seals. One starts barking, and then they all reply with barks and claps.

Oh, and: that there’s some damn fine Photoshopping, son. Wingnut Trailer Villa indeed.

 
 

I do like the idea of a Pope of Global Warming Science. I imagine his pontiffical mitre would be sublime.

Imagine if the Pope suddenly announced that the Catholic Church had been wrong for centuries about prohibiting priests from marrying persecuting Galileo. Would that be considered big news?

Yup, that was the biggest news story EVAR.

 
 

What is it with wingnuts and their unability to understand what they read?

How does “…will probably lead to a to a lower temperature increase than we would expect from the current trend during the next years”

turn into
“…the world, in contrast to his previous belief, is actually cooling.”

???

Because someone should really use this in political discussion:

No-one is increasing taxes, we are in fact decreasing the speed with which the taxes are increased.

No-one is adding regulation to finanial sector, we are in fact removing the the blocks that were hampering creation of new legistration.

Etc.

By the time your average wingnut manages to read the sentence properly the law has been in effect a decade.

And that’s why we must laugh at them.

🙂 I thought about doing this a while ago, but was far too lazy.

OT, but I just found out that Blue Cross/Blue Shield has starting requiring physicians at my institution to get pre-authorization for echocardiograms AND are requiring a massive amount of paperwork to be completed after the echos are performed. Insurance companies not only explicitly act like dicks by denying claims and procedures–they also make simple procedures and tests more difficult to perform so that doctors are reluctant to take the time to perform them if they’re not sure about the results.

In other words, they fuck you coming AND going.

 
 

They had themselves a purity purge and got rid of everyone who knew fuck-all about anything.

I think you are being way too generous, unless the purge you are talking about happened forty years ago. Remember James Fucking Watt, Ronnie Raygun’s EPA chief? Christian fundy, who believed the Rapture (Rupture?) was nigh and as a result thought any type of environmental stewardship was a waste of time and thought instead we should scour each and every terrestrial asset available with all possible speed so that we could live in as much excess as possible before Jeebus came and swept the Chosen off to the Big Ice Cream Stand of Goodness in the Sky. Modern know-nothingism has been a central element of the Republican party since 1980. Evil Dick Fucking Nixon at least had some respect for science.

Man, I remember the Gland-dick when he used to post random political screeds over on alt.showbiz.gossip in the late ’90s. Good to see that a decade of failure hasn’t changed him, aside from him not being quite so obviously screamingly gay-in-denial as he was back in the day. I mean, aside from that cigar-that’s-not-just-a-cigar that his “comics” website’s mascot has in his, er, mouth.

Anyway, he hasn’t gained an iota of talent since, so Bruce Tinsley’s job is still safe, barring further DUIs of course.

 
 

Nein! Nein! Nein!

 
 

Because someone should really use this in political discussion:

No-one is increasing taxes, we are in fact decreasing the speed with which the taxes are increased.

Actually, that’s precisely what Newt did in the Nineties.

He claimed the GOP had pushed a budget thru that had “tax cuts” in it, when in point of fact, all the budget did was slow down the rise in taxes that a previous budget had projected.

Al Franken called him on it in one of his books, can’t recall which one tho.

 
 

Oh, OK, I found the cite, and I need to take more Ginko:

GINGRICH (8/11/95): Now most of you probably do math well enough that you know if you’re at 4800 here and you’re at 6700 here, that’s called an increase. Now I want to go real slow for a minute because we’ve got a lot of reporters who are listening.

Now I don’t want to be too negative, but you might even have one or two liberals who show up who claim that going from 4800 to 6700 is a cut. Now, this is not because they’re bad people; this is an early sign of the educational dysfunction which has hit our society.

FRANKEN (page 225): At one point Novak was extolling Gingrich’s “masterful” speech, and I objected, especially to the patronizing crap about the $4800 versus the $6700. So I turned to Kasich:

“By the way, are those constant dollars?”

Margaret jumped in. “Of course they’re constant dollars. They wouldn’t be that dishonest.”

“Sure they would,” I said. Turning back to Kasich, “Are those constant dollars?”

“Al…” Kasich’s voice has a touch of annoyance, “we’re increasing funding for Medicare.”

“But the $4800 to $6700, has that been adjusted for inflation?”

“Al, the dollars are going up.”

“I just want to know if those are constant dollars.”

“Al, we’re going from 178 billion [total Medicare budget in 1995] to 283 billion [total Medicare budget in 2002].” Kasich gave the others an exasperated look. When will this guy stop?

“Look. Gingrich is going like, ‘Hey, you’re a fucking moron if you can’t see that 6700 is more than 4800.’ I just want to know how big a moron am I. Are those constant dollars?”

A pause. Then. “No, Al, they’re not constant dollars.”

Kasich slumped in his chair and admitted, “I guess we’re being a little intellectually dishonest about this one.” And I took a few victory laps around the table.

Margaret was slightly embarrassed and begged me not to repeat the part about her assuming it was constant dollars. I knew she was kidding, however. She’s a terrific journalist and she knows a good story.

Indeed, this had been precipitated by Gingrich claiming Medicare was *not* being cut because they were allowing benefits to rise, but that rise was not keeping up with inflation, thus creating a de facto cut in benefits.

 
 

That would be a double-barrel

Global warming is, indeed, a myth:

Here’s Positive Proof

 
 

We will have another ice age, and fairly soon (it’s been tens of thousands of years since the last one, so we’re due),

Is that necessarily so? Before the Pleistocene, the Earth was relatively warm, so maybe the Earth is just warming up again and won’t glaciate for a long, long time (even geologically speaking) even in the absence of global warming.

This is not to provide aid and succor to wingnuttia or cast doubt on well-established evidence for anthropogenic warming, and I don’t know enough about the field to know the evidence for or against the current climate being “interglacial” vs. being out of the ice age entirely, but it seems to me that there is no particular evidence that we are not emerging into a regime of already warmer climate.

“And yet something like that has happened in the field of global warming in which a major scientist has announced that the world, in contrast to his previous belief, is actually cooling.”

He elevates this scientist to the level of power of the Catholic church? The similarity between the two is that the foundation of beliefs of either are so strong and widely supported by 1)in the case of the Catholic church, an entire belief system and 2) in the case of global warming, nearly every environmental scientist in the world.

So in either case, one small change would effect no one. The church is still patriarchal, global warming still exists.

Idiot.

 
 

Yes, that’s him.

Just read those links. Words fail me.

 
 

And they should use that approach if they are going to make a film of Atlas Shrugged.

Cripes, that brings back memories of reading “Starlog” magazine in the early years (’78 or so) when the editor was peeing himself over the idea that someone was, indeed, working on a movie version of Atlas. Thank god I never took the bait (“oooh! a SF book I’ve never read!”) and read the thing back then; I would have fallen for it hook & sinker.

If I read that scientists who studied weather and climate were concluding that there were weather cycles we couldn’t control that could have unforeseen effects on climate on a planet that was experiencing anthropogenic warming, I might urge that we re-double our efforts to replace dirty fossil fuels with clean energy sources with no carbon footprint, because any changes in climate and excessive weather patterns would require more energy.

DAS, as I understand it, so long as North and South America stay connected, the Earth would (but for mankind) remain in an expanding and contracting glacial age – because the ocean currents get turned northward and then back south, rather than circulating at the equator and staying significantly warmer. In a few million years, this will change (and depending on where the continents line up, Earth could go Jurassic hothouse or could go Snowball). But that’s long term – me, I’m more concerned that Greenland’s glaciers are melting underneath (underside conducting ocean warmth into the interior). If that all slides off land into the Atlantic, my fair Baltimore will look like it did after Isabel – but all the time.

We will have another ice age, and fairly soon (it’s been tens of thousands of years since the last one, so we’re due),

Is that necessarily so?

The standard theory says that interglacials occur for about 12,000 years, and we’re about 11,000 from the last glaciation.

Yes, prior to the Pleistocene, there’s evidence the interglacial was 28,000, but that is not proven.

I guess being a steaming pile of worthless excrement means never having to say “I’m sorry,” or, “Jeez, I guess I was wrong about that.”

Fortunately, excrement can be removed. You just need a good high-pressure hose, some industrial cleaning fluids, and a clothespin.

Last I heard, she was staring down a huge fine by a pissed-off Federal judge and disbarment. Did she manage to wriggle out of it?

World-O has an article demonstrating how her paranoia has gotten the worst of her. She’s taken legitimate criticism of her husband (he wrote some software that is used by Big Pharma) and somehow twisted it into criticism of her as a tool of the Obama administration, or some such

 
 

criticism of her as a tool of the Obama administration

Well, she IS a tool, you have to admit.

 
 

Orly is being beaten like a redheaded city comptroller:

“The biggest issue we have today is that evidence is disappearing,” said the Laguna Niguel dentist, lawyer and real-estate agent who is attempting to sue President Barack Obama out of office. “We have a number of parties that had evidence, that had knowledge that might be detrimental to the defense, that were found dead. . . . We have the most important, the most crucial witness. We have to be able to work something that they [the U.S. attorney representing Obama] can hear what he says, that you can hear what he says, that there is a record of it. . . . If, God forbid, something happens to this witness, at least we will have his testimony here.”

 
 

This eplains why her hair looks the way it does: the wig doesn’t fit right over her tinfoil cap.

Last I heard, she was staring down a huge fine by a pissed-off Federal judge and disbarment. Did she manage to wriggle out of it?

On September 18 the judge in Georgia ordered Taitz to show cause why she shouldn’t be fined $10,000. He gave her 14 days to do it. Her client in that case told the same judge she was planning to complain to the California bar about her attorney. Taitz and other birthistas say the letter is a forgery. Taitz’s next date with destiny is October 5, when Judge David Carter in California will hear arguments regarding the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss yet another birther case, this one with a huge list of plaintiffs.

I’m afraid the FEMA Gulag looms in the near future for Taitz because the United States is just like Soviet Union.

Everybody loves Orly Taitz, including the OC Weekly.

In an affidavit posted this month on Sinclair’s website, Sinclair says Taitz asked him to testify at her Sept. 8 hearing. He flew to Orange County from Florida, but the night before the hearing, Sinclair says, Taitz told him to testify he knew about three people who had been killed by Obama—a charge that Sinclair says isn’t true. The next day, he told her he wouldn’t testify and would be flying home.

City comptroller indeed.

Yeah, that’s why Sinclair said to Taitz I break with thee, I break with thee. Lucas Smith said the same. Funny thing about Sinclair, here’s sentence previous to “In an affadavit…”:

In June 2008, Sinclair held a press conference at the National Press Club claiming he’d been lured into cocaine-fueled sex with Obama in a limo in 1999. He also has said he believes Obama had Donald Young, a Chicago choir conductor, killed.

So he has no trouble saying crazy shit about Black Caesar, as long as it’s not in federal court and under oath.

Let us take a series of numbers that double each year.

2, 4, 8, 16, 32

Then, the next year, instead of getting the exptected 64, we only get 50.

50 is of course still a larger number than 32, but this nitwit is arguing that since 50 < 64, that 50 must also be less than 32, which of course it isn't.

Please, can't we enroll him in an adult education course to teach him enough basic calculus so that he can understand the difference between the first and second derivative.

Dear Dr. Taitz,

There is a very simple way to quickly change Judge Clay Land from a bullying tyrant into a meek little lamb.

If the judge keeps his promise to impose a $10,000 dollar fine on you, simply say to his honor, — For the record your Honor, in what form of payment does this court demand payment? Is this court demanding payment from me in the form of unconstitutional Federal Reserve Notes, or some other form of unconstitutional money, or is this court demanding payment in Constitutional money, which is ONLY gold and silver coinage, minted by the U.S. Mint according to the Constitution?

If payment is demanded in any form of money besides Constitutional gold and silver coins, then your Honor is in serious breach of his sworn oath to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America. If this court is demanding Constitutional money, then such a demand for payment is impossible for me to comply with, since there is no longer any Constitutional money in circulation.

—Pasco

I recently saw the first video of the school kids singing the Barack Obama song in class. At first I thought it was the promo for the new “Children of the Corn” film or perhaps another remake of “Village of the Damned”, but alas, it is not. It is real. But I think it’s way scarier than either of those two retreads will be. This is the single spookiest thing I’ve seen since “Jeepers Creepers” in the theater. It’s a bigger freak show than that Nancy Pelosi press conference where she lied about the CIA.

But, it tells us a lot. It is another nugget of insight into the twisted logic and belief system that plagues the modern left. It should be analyzed, discussed, and studied like the Zapruder film.

Meanwhile, were those kids to have sung songs to Dear Leader back in 2002, it would have been perfectly okay and appropriate and patriotic ’cause he wasn’t a scary black guy and was a WAH PREZNIT and shut up that’s why.

Me, I thought the “W” stickers on the backs of cars were creepy, but then again I don’t recall that Obama’s waxed lyrical about the political benefits of a dictatorship recently, either.

Low-Rated Shows Dominate Emmys, Again

Once again, low-rated shows, largely with a negative attitude toward American institutions and the conventions of bourgeois life, dominated Hollywood’s Emmy Awards for primetime television programming this year.

In the awards announced on Sunday night’s telecast, the industry’s elites once again demonstrated their disregard for their audiences’ preferences and their intent to continue using their bully pulpit to turn the nation into a banana republic.

O noez! Emmy’s done gone to good shows and not stuff what everbody liks! We just like Honduras I mean but they were totally not a coup I mean Chavez or somethin’.

And also, too, nobody watches that fag show “Mad Men” no way, and if they did, somebody good ort to write it so it gets all more positive and more better about business & stuff instead a’makin’ it look all seedy and weird. Sort of a Leave It to Beaver / Mel Gibson’s The Patriot version of “Mad Men”, that would be better.

How come they ain’t got no awards what is based on just how many peoples is watchin’? You know, you could prolly come up with a ‘ratin’ system or something. Pffft. But, nooooooo.

The commander of the Metropolitan Police of Cartagena Wednesday pledged to capture the gang of youths who raided a small circus and raped its dancing donkey Paola.

Ringmaster Olascuaga Janner said that the thieves looted the Triumph Circus, taking everything and leaving the performers with nothing but their tent and the clothes on their backs, “as God brought us into this world.”

Describing himself as broken-hearted, Janner explained that the gang stole “amplification equipment, lights, costumes, money and even makeup,” reported newspaper El Universal.

El Cid’s link. I am assuming that CY was the mastermind unless proven otherwise.

“I am nothing. What is a clown without makeup? He is not a clown,” said circus director Isaias Acosta Montes. “Without music, we are not a circus,” he said from his perch on a trapeze, voice breaking.

Even more distressing than the material losses was the rape of the circus’s beloved donkey Paola, ‘the dancing donkey’.

Wilfrido Junco Castilla, a clown in the circus, stood by the dancing donkey. “They abused Paola like a woman,” he told Colombia’s Caracol news.”

I wish we’d all stop dancing around the main issue and get a worldwide compact going to cut global population, via family planning and government and aid incentives, to roughly half what it is now within the next 75 years. Not only would that have a more meaningful impact on climate change and general global pollution than any cap n trade or other policy will, but we probably could provide some halfway decent life for half as many people. Fewer people in every country should be the goal. Sure, those nations already so overcrowded that millions cannot even eke out a bare subsistence need to reduce their populations – but so do we. Every first-world citizen not born represents a reduction in strain on the planet of a magnitude of at least x 10 compared to one less third-world subsistence farmer.

We can make the decision or it will be made for us.

 
 

The most effective way to control population growth worldwide is to better the legal autonomy, education, health benefits, and work and business opportunities of the world’s poorest women.

Anyone who talks about serious population growth who doesn’t start there may not really be serious about it. It would do the most good at the lowest cost with the highest effectiveness.

This is a big debate, but in terms of what such a rhetorical / policy focus would likely achieve, no, not in my opinion. And the poorest people are generally struggling to survive and better their lives, and so it might be a nice change for once if the wealthy, resource-devouring West really gave a shit about seriously bettering the lives of the world’s majority, rather than once again hectoring the majority of the world’s inhabitants that they needed to learn to restrain themselves in the midst of poverty so that we could continue to overconsume.

Hmmmm, not sure where you got that from, since my comment was about the need for ALL nations to reduce population, with the premise being that there should be incentives for voluntarily reducing family size. I didn’t spell that out but what I had in mind was some kind of guarantee to parents (again, all nations) that if they agree to one child only, that child will be guaranteed adequate nutrition, health care, and an education. In other words, the consumption would get spread around. At least that was my thought, and reviewing what I said initially, I think I pretty clearly spelled out that population reduction is just as, if not more, important in first-world nations, since they produce the most pollution and global warming per capita. I would hope that when I go to such detail and care to make an argument that it wouldn’t be misinterpreted by folks who should by now kind of have my drift to the point that they wouldn’t expect me to be less than even-handed and reasonable.

 
 

Tbogg’s got a winner.

 
 

Jennifer, maybe if you were designing and administering such a program, that’s how it might be. I was giving the version as I think it would actually happen, based on the sorts of programs already imposed upon most of the world when the West and lenders have their way to affect social policy.

However, I would reiterate that I was saying that the most effective way of reducing family size was to first concentrate on bettering the status of women, who are actually pretty good at being careful about family size as their autonomy and capacities improve; in my view, all else has secondary effects at best.

A part-time census worker found hanging in a rural Kentucky cemetery was naked, gagged and had his hands and feet bound with duct tape, said an Ohio man who discovered the body two weeks ago.

State police had announced the cause of death was asphyxiation, then clarified Friday that was a preliminary determination pending a full medical examination of the body. Rudzinsky said investigators hadn’t yet determined whether the death was a homicide, suicide or accidental.

A part-time census worker found hanging in a rural Kentucky cemetery was naked, gagged and had his hands and feet bound with duct tape, said an Ohio man who discovered the body two weeks ago.

Rudzinsky said investigators hadn’t yet determined whether the death was a homicide, suicide or accidental.

Fuckin’ what?!? Suicide? Accidental? Rudzinsky (whoever the fuck he is) clearly leads a much more interesting life than I do, if he can think that hanging naked in a tree with hands and feet bound might be accidental.

 
 

Jennifer, El Cid: I recall reading somewhere that the single feature most strongly-correlated with lower birth rate was status of women. That’s right: not technological sophistication, not national wealth, not availability of health care. Just relative position of women vis a vis men.

In societies where women are treated as chattels, birth rates are high. This includes places like Saudi Arabia, which, while indubitably rich and with access to high quality medical care, gives women no ability to decide when they choose to have children. The US, oddly enough, was toward this end of the scale: not as extreme as the Saudis, but still with less freedom to decide their own reproductive destinies and a correspondingly higher birthrate than most other western democracies.

In societies where women are considered fully equal with men (and the laws and customs reflect this), birth rates are fairly low, regardless of technological level. This end of the scale includes very primitive tribes whose highest technology is the spear (roughly speaking).

The upshot: where women are considered fully equal humans, and know where babies come from, birth rates are lower. Yes, good health care and access to contraceptive measures help, but they’re not the main determinant.

Food for thought.

From the #2 comment there..
” One of two things happened here: he stumbled into the wrong place at the wrong time in that drug infested Kentucky backwood place (who does a census there) or this is another case of them doing the dirty work and blaming us”

I can see how this is going to turn out.
Even if it turns out that the dead man was not lynched by liberals in a false-flag operation, it SPEAKS VOLUMES about the moral turpitude of the left wing, that we could believe them capable of such a thing.

 
 

“Just Alison, aka Snail Joust said,

Give the man a benefit of the doubt. He could have come across something like dead republicans wearing two wetsuits and a dildo before, so it could be they don’t want to rule out sexual perversions.

You see, Watson, I’ve deduced that this man is a suicide who was quite seriously depressed, since he stabbed himself sixty-five times in the back with a butcher knife.

I suspect there is a fair bit of political pressure from higher-ups in Kentucky to try and downplay the degree of racist and anti-gummint ugliness in the state. “Lynchington, Kentucky” may not be what the Commonwealth of Kentucky had in mind when it adopted the state marketing slogan “Unbridled Spirit.”

I knew it would come to this.
According to GayPatriot B. Daniel Blatt, even nature has turned against big Socialist government:

“Left-wing blogs have made much of the death of Bill Sparkman, a Kentucky census worker found asphyxiated by a tree in eastern Kentucky.”

If FreedomWorks forges an alliance with the triffids, we’re fucking doomed.

As a gay man, Mr Bla(r)tt should realize that overheated eliminationist rhetoric is dangerous. The very same individuals who killed Bill Sparkman would be those most likely to do the same to Daniel Blatt, although the two out of the three letters scrawled on the body would differ.

Does he ever consider the persons with whom he’s chosen to make common cause?

 
 

As a gay man, Mr Bla(r)tt should realize…

But Mr. Blatt is NOT a gay man. He is merely a homosexual.

I stand corrected and humbly ask for your forgiveness.

Mr Blatt is obviously thinking of the short story by Patricia Highsmith, Please Don’t Shoot the Trees. Once again life irritates art. Or possibly vice versa.
