My memory may be faulty, but wasn’t that story broken by FoxNews?

Liberals opposed to the Iraq war were right but for all the wrong reasons, whereas we liberal hawks were wrong for but all the right reasons. Moreover, being wrong was the right thing to be at the time, so anyone who wasn’t wrong was simply refusing to be properly misled. Finally, while the right people may have been wrong about the war, those who were right were most decidedly the wrong kind of people, so the right people can ignore them now, just like we did then.

Makes so much sense it’s sensible.

10 hours at work today followed by 2.5 hours class. Then another 2 hours combined homework + chill-out and dinner……

Phew.

I’m not sure if this is pimping or whoring, but if you are one of the two or three peeps who wonder about string theory, you gotta read this…

mikey

is it actually possible within the realm of known physics to be wronger than david frum is right now?

Cue Wolfgang Pauli (a physicist, even!):
“This isn’t right. This isn’t even wrong.”

Frum clearly has his superior pants on, we better get off his lawn.

When was he born? Down here in the Lower 48, airborne lead particulate pollution peaked in 1973. Twenty years later, some institute graphed the amount of lead in the atmosphere as a perfect inverse curve against SAT scores between the 1960s and the 1980s. Low-level lead poisoning causes subtle damage to the fetal brain — it’s not the relatively few IQ points shaved away, it’s the long-term effects on the subject’s attention span, intellectual focus, and long-term reasoning skills. The late 1960s and early 1970s were also the peak years for smoking and drinking by pregnant women (nobody could have predicted that nicotine & alcohol would cross the fetal barrier, or at least that “insignificant” amounts of nicotine & alcohol would have a significant effect on the developing fetal brain). As a back-end Boomer, one of my few schadenfreude consolations against the following generation has been that some of them actually can’t help having the mental focus of a caffeinated hummingbird.

Fox Newts has shown the way. From now on any Republican Scandal will simply be marketed as a Democratic Scandal, after the perp has been thrown under the bus and given to the sciencetologists.

Not only is Frum historically wrong, he’s also currently wrong:

According to two conservative websites, White House political strategist Karl Rove has been promising GOP insiders that there will be an “October surprise” before the midterm elections. “In the past week, Karl Rove has been promising Republican insiders an ‘October surprise’ to help win the November congressional elections,” reports Ronald Kessler for Newsmax.

Dems are wondering if Karl Rove is going to do what he has promised to “Republican insiders”, but they are just paranoid and projecting?

Frum may just have entered language as an adjective for “bullshit that’s so amazingly divorced from reality it makes my brain hurt”. Nah…too many wingnuts claim that title.
