Dude, if I fall on you, I can guarantee that you will not be laughing. I weigh nearly 20 pounds and have fucking paws the size of catcher’s mitts with inch-long claws. And my teeth–go ahead, ask me about my teeth! You’d just better hope I’d be falling with my mouth closed (unlikely).

PS I am a cat, therefore I am always surprised, but never worried.

To the surprise of nobody, I’m sure, Noonan thinks the exact same thing. He goes into it in the comments to this Top Ten thread. He must put effort into figuring out the wrong position on a given issue because the law of averages says if he were just blindly guessing, he’d have to be right sometimes, right?

Ooh, modern medicine. That’s good. I’ll have a bunch of that. And gimme a big slice of that space program. Can I get a separate bowl for defense technology? I LOVE that stuff. Umm, I’ll start with jet fighters, stealth bombers, a submarine, an aircraft carrier and two nuclear ICBMs. What’s that? Oh, haha. Yes, I AM pretty hungry. Let’s see, what’s next. Evolution? Yuck. That’s nasty. I’ll skip it. Go ahead and hit me with some biblical creation instead. You what? None? Humph. Ok, what’s over here? High energy physics? Umm, that sounds kind of exotic. I’ll try a little. Cosmolgy? Can I get some Astrology instead? No? Sheesh, what kinda place is this? What? Climate change? I don’t want any of that! I’m not even sure that’s edible. Yuck. I’ll just eat what I have.

Y’know, my church is sponoring a Science Pot Luck Dinner next week. I’m going to get all my favorites there….

If your blog wasn’t so crazy, maybe some people would read it!

;o)

I will not be surprised for the GOP leadership to demand that lead by put back into paint and gasoline. Why else is lead still in NASCAR fuel, other than to guarantee future NASCAR watchers as parents expose their kids to lead-laden exhaust so as to make them as stupid as their parents?

The info about DDT stunting kids’ brains is interesting and new to me. Another good reason to keep DDT banned: Kids around it when it was being used grew up dull enough to think that spraying MORE is a good idea.

A local wingnut wrote a letter to the editor in the Des Moines Rag, blaming the spread of malaria on the banning of DDT. Yep, Rachel Carson caused malaria. Apparently, if we just hose the planet down with DDT, the malaria problem will be all gone.

And then he did the same for Iran, designing a forgein policy to entice Iran to make nuclear weapons.

At the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty conferences that have been held since the Bush crime syndicate has been given control over this once-great nation, the US delegation has obstructed every single opportunity to actually prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.

In 2001 the Bush junta decreed that all setteled agreements that any previous US aqdministration had made regarding international cooperation to prevent proliferation of nuclear weapons would be not only ignored by the new imperial presidency, but that the new administration would defy the law and do exactly th eopposite of what the US responsibilities are.

In 2005 the US delegation to the NPT Review Conference specifically rejected every single proposal and said that their orders from the Dept of State was to catagorically reject all attempts at preventing nuclear weapons proliferation.

The White House not only exposed a covert agent working to prevent nuclear weapons proliferation in the Middle East (where she was trying to prevent radical Islamic goverments from aquiring the Bomb), which in istelf is an act of treason, they also exposed the company she worked for as her cover, which then threw suspicion on all the other business’ they had contacts with. The White House also confirmed to the whole world that every Ambassador’s wife MUST be suspected of being a covert intelligence agent.

By analyzing the Bush administrations ACTIONS one can ONLY conclude that the Republican leadership WANTS more nuclear weapons in the hands of extremist nations. Why else would they so actively destroy 50 years of work to prevent nuclear weapons proliferation?

EVERY temperature the Earth has ever experienced, from boiling lava surface to global freeze, is “natural” and “correct”.

On the other hand, recent temperatures have been very favorable to many human civilizations (though not much of Africa which used to be far more productive when the Sahara was not a desert, but now will only expand further) and to many ecologies.

This is the most freaktarded backward line of questioning wrapped in a pseudoscientific sounding phraseology since I encountered some kook nutbag argued that global warming was caused by the heat from inside the Earth leaking out. (Short answer: the Earth’s interior contributes nearly zero to surface level heat.)

They hate us for “our” science. (And I am NOT joking!)

Mark? Think of it as “Global Scorching.”

They MEAN well. It’s just that they need help, you see.
