ABOVE: Don Surber in front of his newly-remodeled
home


Don “Jim Bob” Surber impresses the yokels that read him by scanning most of the least reputable British tabloids and linking to them, safe in the false assurance that everything you read in a newspaper from the country that gave the world crappy cars, bubble and squeak, and milk in tea would never publish anything of less than the highest journalist standards. Today Jim Bob has put on a fashionable ascot, brewed himself a cup of hot tea and surfed over to the website of the Daily Fail, best known for its vigorous support of German fascism in the 1930s.

Jim Bob is particularly taken with an article claiming that the evil conservationists are running around claiming that non-extinct animals are actually extinct, all apparently for the purpose of shaking pennies from gullible grannies to contribute to the conservationists’ lavish lifestyles. So Jim Bob quotes the article at length in his own post titled “Extinction is Forever . . . Not!”

Some of the more reclusive creatures managed to hide from sight for 80 years only to reappear within four years of being officially named extinct in the wild.

The shy okapi – which resembles a cross between a zebra and a giraffe – was first discovered in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1901.

After increasingly rarer sightings, it vanished from the wildlife radar for decades from 1959, prompting fears that it had died out.

But five years ago researchers working for the WWF found okapi tracks in the wild.

Why, hello, Mr. Google. Do you have something you’d like to say? No, you’re kidding! There are okapi in the San Diego Zoo, The Philadelphia Zoo, the L.A. Zoo and many, many more? And a worldwide population of 10,000-35,000. No, that doesn’t sound like extinct to me either. Well, thanks for letting us know. Perhaps you could go visit Mr. Surber and let him know? What, you said you’ve tried that before? He called you what? He said you were a liberal? Oh dear, I’m so sorry you had to go through that. Well, thanks for your help. We’ll see you again soon.

Of course, Surber is never content to leave stupid alone, but has to pile on and say something even more foolish:

I am always amused by the fact that some of the most ardent supporters of evolution are the save-the-critter crowd. Isn’t extinction part of this whole evolutionary thing and if your species cannot adapt, well, tough?

What part of “natural” selection does Surber not understand? Population extinction by hunting, poaching and habitat encroachment aren’t mechanisms of “natural” selection, and even if they were, that doesn’t mean that it should trump biodiversity in terms of wildlife management.

This has been installment number 12,206 in our series as to why Don Surber, political columnist for the Charleston Daylee Male, will never win a Pulitzer Prize demonstrates that his level of competence (which he continues to try and exceed) ended at “doorstop.”

Fecksed.

 
 

But as long as he can make it to the Charleston Chik-Fil-A, he’s always guaranteed to get the Pullet Surprise.

Naw, you don’t actually have to get to the Chik-Fil-A for that. Just the alley out back next to that dumpster that always smells like rotten mangoes…

 
 

Trig is having a very good day.

 
 

It’s times like these that I think, “I could be a conservative columnist.” Then my soul jumps in to interrupt that line of thinking.

 
 

Don’t be too quick to predict who will and won’t get a Pulitzer. They gave one to Kathleen Parker, after all.

 
 

I’ve always considered trying to fake up some Repub columns and sell ’em to RenewDuhmerica or somewhere, just to earn a little extra scratch. I just wish there was a way to do it without it showing up on my resume somewhere… :/

 
 

Oh, am I an “ardent supporter” of evolution now? Because it’s gotten along fine for 3.5 billion years now without my support. Do I have to make a contribution now?

 
 

Scott, why not use a pseudonym? Oh, wait, I see, you want to get paid. In that case, I suggest you give the articles erudite titles that don’t sound wingnutty. Like, “Macroeconomics Variables in Industrial Output,” or “Mortality Statistics for Australian Endodonts.” Of course, they’ll change them for publication. For example, “Krugman Wrong Again” and “Evolution Disproven.”

 
 

“Mooooommm! You can’t come in – I’m… I’m ordering Pullet Surprise!”

 
 

“Supporters of evolution”, indeed. Never ceases to amaze me that folks insist on describing belief in scientific theories in sports-fan language.

Still, if I had to, Team Heliocentricity would be my nostalgic choice, and maybe I’d get a season ticket for Team Second Law of Thermodynamics for its propensity to attract the really stupid opponents.

 
 

For example, “Krugman Wrong Again” and “Evolution Disproven.”

New Game!

“Republicans continue admirable “Free Breathing Air” policy for all citizens”

 
 

“GOP endorses “Water From The Skies” initative”

But they’re gonna charge you double for the ground you stand on.

 
 

“GOP Hails Filipinos “Can Do” Spirit in Landfill Food Acquisition Program”

 
 

Tailpipe Sex “Perfectly Normal” GOP Declares

 
 

“Do As We Say, Not As We Do” Declared Non-Hypocritical By GOP Leaders

 
 

That second quote is…somethin’.

 
 

I am always amused by the fact that some of the most ardent supporters of evolution are the save-the-critter crowd.

I am always amused by the fact that some of the most ardent Christians and Biblical literalists completely ignore God’s commandment to Noah to fill his ark with two of every creature on earth, which would seem to indicate that no species is unimportant in God’s eyes, and that letting any of them die off would be a stewardship fail.

I shot an okapi once, in my dinner jacket.
In those days we didn’t worry about whether there were enough okapi to fully staff the Nashville Zoo. We shot ’em and we were proud of it. There was an okapi around every corner, or a gnu. Some of those gnu were wiley. Wiley, you could see the cunning in their gnu eyes. I shot a gnu once, in my jodhpurs. That gnu had doubled back down the side street parallel to the boulevard, trying to make it to the mall before I caught up to him.

 
 

I’ve heard Pascal Picq two hours ago on our secular, government controlled radio. He’s a paleo-anthropologist, and he spent 30 seconds of the 50-minute program to diss creationists with a simple question: what evidence have they ever shown to prove their theories?

None, that’s how much. I remember my exchange student years in the US, under the last year of Reagan’s reign, and my complete amazement when I found out that the people I lived with believed literally in the Bible. They seemed normal, but then… I got a lengthy reply from my grandfather (biology professor AND conservative Catholic guy) who gave me many arguments to prove them wrong. I never brought them up, as I had understood that it’s impossible to disprove faith-based brainwashing.

It seems that “debating” with creationists is akin to necessarily having a representative of the Children Killers and Rapists Association when doing a report on Jeffrey Dahmer for the sake of “balance”.

The shy okapi – which resembles a cross between a zebra and a giraffe – was first discovered in the Democratic Republic of Congo in 1901.

After increasingly rarer sightings, it vanished from the wildlife radar for decades from 1959, prompting fears that it had died out.

Whoever wrote the original article obviously went to Wikipedia but skipped most of it and made up the rest. The 1959 final sighting mentioned is in a particular park, not throughout its habitat. I can’t find that its status was ever listed as extinct. For Christ’s sake, it’s not even listed as threatened.

It’s not just that Don is wrong, of course, but that when one of his own commenters patiently explains to him why the Daily Fail article is wrong, he ignores it. Instead, he frets about some comedy short about climate change denialists blowing up. If Don hates it, how can it not be good?

I hate to say this, but Obama’s going to get creamed for the state of health care in the future, not entirely undeservedly so.

The bill that passed back in March, the feds are now legally obligated (or will be soon) to provide funds to help people pay for their health insurance. But if I understand correctly, there are no price controls included. Is that correct?

Because if it is, that means insurers are going to be able to simply make their prices skyrocket – hey, if the client can’t afford it, the taxpayers can. Which means we the people are going to be paying more doctors’ bills AND more taxes. Not hard to see where this is going.

While we’ve got British people apologizing for shit, how about apologizing for RyanAir? You know what every nook and cranny of Eastern Europe doesn’t need? Limeys on stag-do’s/hen-do’s vomiting in them.

Also, Elastica never putting out a 3rd album. I’d like an apology for that one, too.

 
 

I would apologize for RyanAir but it’s an Irish company. There is a little bit of history there.

Ah yes, the stag bashes in Eastern Europe. Great times….

ANOTHER gay youth suicide.

Just. Damn.

I wanted post this on the yesterthread, but was too busy kkeping the corporate maching humming:

I have something to say to the vile peice of dogshit who drove his roommate to suicide:

No, you are NOT a murderer.

You did not take a gun and shoot Tyler Clementi; you did not push him off the GW Bridge; you did not take his life. If you had, you would be a murderer. What you did, and what you are, is something much, much worse.

You drove a confused, sensitive, artistic young man to a despair so black and deep that he took his own life, rather than go on living in the hell you made his world that night. What that makes you is a monster.

Nothing you can ever do, no act of contrition, confession, penance, no absolution can ever erase that stain from your soul. For the rest of your life, every day when you wake up, you will face that monster in the mirror, and know that you can never, ever consider yourself a “good person” again. Until one day, hopefully soon, you will realize what a loathsome creature you have become, and you will choose to take your own life, too.

And this might surprise you: I hope your suicide attempt fails. I hope it leaves you paralyzed and helpless, but with your mind intact. Because, as an atheist, I don’t believe in hell, or an afterlife of eternal damnation, so I want you to live a long, long life, with nothing to do every day, for years that stretch out ahead of you like an endless desert, but to contemplate how horrible you are, and what a monster you will always be.

That is all.

I don’t blame Obama for the crap bill that got passed, though. It’s the combined work of go-along-to-get-along Dems and selfish Repugs who were worried that anything that didn’t give the insurance companies OBSCENE profits (instead of just outrageous) was Stalinist Communism.

I disagree on only one point. I think hunting and habitat destruction are evolutionary forces. Humans being part of nature, I don’t think you can count what (throwing an anchor to windward) beavers, say, do to their environment as natural, but not count us.

On the REALLY BIG other hand, though, I don’t see where accepting the scientific evidence for evolution means we have to help it along, wherever possible. It’s not like I think we have an obligation to create antibiotic resistant bacteria, or three-eyed fish, or giant fire-breathing lizards just because we can.

If Don was Noah he would have taken two of every animal aboard the Ark… but they’d both be male.

 
 

It’s da jooooooooooooos! The Jews run CNN!

*slump* We NEVER have any fun around here.

 
 

“Humans being part of nature, I don’t think you can count what … beavers, say, do to their environment as natural, but not count us.”

Facts vs Values. The fact that we are a part of nature doesn’t help us in deciding what we should do. In a universe of 80 billion galaxies I am sure that there are or have been many intelligent life forms that have nuked their planet till it glowed. That doesn’t mean we should do the same.

 
 

On the REALLY BIG other hand, though, I don’t see where accepting the scientific evidence for evolution means we have to help it along, wherever possible. It’s not like I think we have an obligation to create antibiotic resistant bacteria, or three-eyed fish, or giant fire-breathing lizards just because we can.
I think the issue is less about creating species of critter and more about how we destroy existing species. Clearly extinction is a natural process, but there is no need to create the largest mass extinction since the K-T event just because we are collectively too lazy or greedy to control our own breeding and consumption.
After all, those plants and animals we are so busy bulldozing under each represent the culmination of a billion plus years of iterative evolution. Each one is uniqely adapted to its own (sometimes very fragile niche) Who’s to say, maybe that protein in some endangered plant or animal could be the cure for cancer, or for an example closer to Don Surber’s interests, explosive diarrhea or impotence.

 
 

Wow. I can’t believe that I found something that I actually agree with you liberals on. In addition to being a conservative, I am also an avid conservationist. I don’t see a contradiction here. To me conservative means to conserve and protect tradition. And what is more traditional than Our Nation’s wild places and wildlife that so enthralled the early heroes of Our Republic such as Thomas Jefferson, Meriweather Lewis, and William Clark?

The answer, not much. Our Nation’s wilderness areas and wildlife do need protection. Laws that conserve Our Nation’s natural and historic heritage are justified and are indeed conservative. America is the greatest Nation on earth, and part of what makes us great is our bountiful natural heritage.

 
Lurking Canadian
 

Well, you could argue that we are creating a new criterion for “fitness” in an evolutionary sense. Used to be, if your species wanted to survive, you had to be able to withstand season variation, predation and the odd asteroid impact. Now you also have to withstand pollution, overfishing, habitat destruction and climate change, but those are still evolutionary pressures, is all I’m saying.

But once again, that does not mean it’s a good thing we do it that way. And it’s utterly stupid for somebody like Surber to claim that “liberals” (or “leftists” or “progressives” or “scientists” or “sane people” or whatever’s blowing up his skirt) should be in favour of doing this because they “believe in evolution”. The observation that we interact with our environment using methods copied from the Shadows from Babylon 5 does not imply support for this practice.

 
 

I pick my guns from trees. Therefore hunting to extinction is technically natural.

 
 

giant fire-breathing lizards just because we can
Until we breed giant fire breathing lizards, we will be unable to stop the unchecked growth of Japanese megalopolises. In Asian island ecosystems, the atomic fire breathing lizard has come to occupy the niche that in America is filled by giant skyscraper climbing gorillas. Without regular pruning from atomic monsters, megalopolises quickly outrun their resources and wither. With regular pruning, these megalopolises can remain vital for centuries.

In 2007, the deputy mayor of New Delhi was killed when he fell from his balcony during an attack by wild monkeys, while 25 other people were wounded when a monkey went on a rampage in the city.

some of the most ardent supporters of evolution are the save-the-critter crowd.

Supporting evolution? I must have missed the street marches from the Coalition for Speciation Events.
“What do we want? Sharks with Lasers on their Heads!
When do we want them? NOW!!!”

If in fact he meant “believers that evolution is true”, then I wouldn’t be surprised if there were a large overlap with the “save-the-critter crowd” (and I’m quietly confident that Surber has some survey in mind and is not smugly spouting his stereotypes as evidence). Though it’s not that one causes the other, so much as both resulting from a third variable, i.e. intelligence.

Isn’t extinction part of this whole evolutionary thing and if your species cannot adapt, well, tough?
So Surber is one of these people who would be happy if his children inherited a world occupied solely by human beings, rats and cockroaches. He can die in a fire.

We’re certainly doing that, though I had always imagined that people were splashing antibiotics around out of greed and stupidity, rather than out of deliberate support for evolution.

Speaking of antibiotic misuse,

The United States apologized on Friday for an experiment conducted in the 1940s in which U.S. government researchers deliberately infected Guatemalan prison inmates, women and mental patients with syphilis.

I am amazed how many medical researchers saw Dr Mengele and Unit 731 as inspirations.

The answer, not much. Our Nation’s wilderness areas and wildlife do need protection.

Careful, Steve. The Objectivists will kick you out of the club house for saying this. Baby Rand sheds a tear every time a spotted owl doesn’t die.

I don’t know quotes, but my understanding is that she was, literally, pro-pollution. She didn’t just take the Milton Friedman position that it’s a negative externality and corporations shouldn’t be responsible for it and we shouldn’t have regulations because if the public really cared the market would take care of it and blah, blah, blah. No, she actually thought pollution was a good thing, because it showed Man’s Triumphant Conquest Over His Environment or some such bullshit.

 
 

I must say I’m somewhat shocked by Steve. Course, you realize, any deviation from The Movement marks you as a flaw in the pattern, a stain that must be wiped out. But… take it from me. Not being a True Conservative isn’t so bad.

Isn’t there a line from Crazy Ayn about how useless trees are, unless they’re cut down and used for Man’s works?

Other than recycling carbon dioxide into the oxygen we need in order to exist at all, what have trees ever done for us?

 
 

You will not find more avid and dedicated conservationists in this country than hunters. We are the ones who pay for the protection of wildlife habitat with the purchases of hunting licenses, firearms, bullets, hunting gear ect…

Being a conservative and a conservationist is not a contridiction. Just ask Theodore Roosevelt.

…he would have taken two of every animal aboard the Ark… but they’d both be male.

That is so hot.

 
 

Don Struber is a complete idiot if he believes that animal species should be allowed to go extinct.

The man is no conservative. He is a corporate elitist in the same manner that destroyed American jobs by supporting trade with the communist Chinese. Corporate elitists are just as much the enemy of this country as big government elitists.

That maybe, but I give you both an equal invitation to stick your dicks in the nearest light socket.

There are many conservatives who are conservationists.

Also, make sure to check out the cofcc’s statement of principles. Scroll down to the very bottom of that page to read their position on conservation.

 
 

Laws that conserve Our Nation’s natural and historic heritage are justified and are indeed conservative.

Like the Endangered Species Act, signed into law by President Richard Nixon on December 28, 1973

Being a conservative and a conservationist is not a contridiction. Just ask Theodore Roosevelt

Theodore Roosevelt was not a conservative. The man was a trustbuster who regularly “shook down” Wall Street in ways that would make Obama cry tears of capitalist outrage. He led the Progressive revolt against the conservative wing of his party (the only such revolt), actually broke away to form his own party in the 1912 election (and got a bigger share of the vote than the conservatives), and was a not so small inspiration of Franklin Roosevelt’s government a generation later.

If someone really wants to bring back Bull Moose “conservatism,” they’re welcome. It’d be a huge improvement in at least one area over the madhouse that is the current conservative movement.

I heard a campaign commercial being discussed on the radio in which the Republican astroturf/dessert topping group scolded Joe Sestak for supporting the healthcare bill because it was going to cost too much, and in the very next sentence lambasted him because they claimed he voted to “gut” Medicare. It was surreal.

because a species is so rare that specimens haven’t been seen in 80 years,but there’s still one or two out there means that it’s not endangered and needs protection?

Well, I think this particular example is more like “because lied and said people thought an animal was extinct when they never did, when it turns out not to be extinct I can scoff at everything they say about actually endangered species, etc.” but he probably believes yours, too.

 
 

it vanished from the wildlife radar for decades from 1959, prompting fears that it had died out.
Sadly, No!

[Capturing okapi for export] continued until the early 1960s, when the country became independent … De Medina’s replacement, Jean Bosco, collected okapis until 1973, and after that time only one okapi was exported until 1984. Since 1987, the Epulu Conservation and Research Center has been run by a Swiss couple, Rosemarie and Karl Ruf. The majority of the research on the okapi in this area has been undertaken during their tenure.

Drs John and Terese Hart … began their work on okapi in 1986 with funding from the Wildlife Conservation International Division of the New York Zoological Society. Their research focused on the status, biology, and conservation of the okapi in the Ituri Forest … Between 1986 and 1993, the Harts placed radio collars on 25 free-ranging animals. Twenty-two okapis were monitored systematically for periods ranging from three months to over four years.

 
 

(and I’m quietly confident that Surber has some survey in mind and is not smugly spouting his stereotypes as evidence)

Smut: Right again.

According to a new study from Australia’s University of Queensland, up to one-third of all mammalian species believed to be extinct are actually still around and hiding in the wild. The study, published in the journal Proceedings of the Royal Society B, finds that 67 of the 180 species thought to be wiped out over the past few hundred years are still alive, suggesting that conservationists are overestimating the threat of extinction. The okapi—aka the “forest giraffe”—is the poster animal for the study, re-emerging in Africa five years ago despite being labeled extinct in the 1950s. In recent years, the Christmas Island shrew, the Vanikoro Flying Fox of the Solomon Islands, the Australian central rock rat, and the Talaud Flying Fox of Indonesia have also come back from the dead. Authors also found invasive species—including humans—were likely to be the main cause of extinction. “If you think that a missing species is extinct and the main cause of decline was introduced predators such as feral foxes, cats or rats, then you are very likely to be right,” said study author Diana Fisher. But, she noted, “If the main cause of decline was habitat loss, you are quite likely to be wrong if you say that it’s extinct.”

Ah, so that’s the source of the Daily Mail piece that Surber is recycling.

Not good for the study, then, what with the Harts studying okapis in the wild through the 1980s.
Looking further down the list, we find the Vanikoro Flying Fox. Turns out that there were concerns about its continued survival in the 1990s, and “Further surveys are urgently needed to confirm the existence of this species”… further studies were evidently conducted, and found it.

How about the Talaud Flying Fox? Was that thought to be extinct, only to come back from the dead? Evidently not, though it was listed as Endangered in 2008.

He contributes regularly to Big Hollywood and FrumForum, and is a member of the Independent Gay Forum.

Oh, I can classify them, but probably not according to normal understandings of politics.

Which poses the question – if his beliefs are so “unclassifiable”, WTF are the NYT and NPR and CBS having this yutz on? Aren’t they worried he’ll spout off about teaching fetishes to high school kids, like he did to us yesterthread? Are they that hard up for page space or airtime which could be better spent on stuff that’s, you know, worth our attention rather than a Randroid Vulcan who’s mystified by human emotion?

 
 

I still can’t find any evidence the okapi was ever declared extinct; the IUCN site evaluated it as “near threatened” in 1996 and again in 2008. They say it is regionally extinct in Uganda, that is the only time the word occurs in the record. And as Smut and the IUCN record point out, people have been studying them for decades now, so how on earth can the okapi be the poster beast for Lazarus species?

Theodore Roosevelt was a conservative on social issues. He was one of the Nation’s early opponents of abortion he would have been appaled at the modern gay rights movement, which of course wasn’t even spoken of in polite society in those days, he also didn’t believe in evolution. He was a White Nationalist who opposed illegal immigration and believed that English should be the official language of the Nation.

Some of his economic issues leave much to be desired, however he was a great man and a great patriot who stood firm for American supremacy on the world stage, for White Nationalism (he coined the term white masculinity to describe our superiority) and for traditional values.

 
 

Okay, Racist Steve is goin’ in the kill file.

 
 

how on earth can the okapi be the poster beast for Lazarus species?

I’m beginning to suspect that the paper in Proc.Royal Soc.B never actually mentioned the okapi, and the connection was made by lazy / stupid journalists.

Teh library doesn’t give me access to the paper until that particular issue is actually in print, but the academic summaries suggests that reports such as the one from CNN (“claims that conservationists have been overplaying the number of species driven to extinction”) are simply lying about its contents.

Then I got sidetracked reading about the evolution of tetradotoxin resistance in garter snakes.

 
 

Some of his economic issues leave much to be desired, however he was a great man and a great patriot who stood firm for American supremacy on the world stage, for White Nationalism (he coined the term white masculinity to describe our superiority) and for traditional values.

So where do Jewish people fit in the whole White Nationalist thing? I mean besides in cattle cars and ovens?

 
 

But regardless of our differences on every other issue except for conservation, it looks like we are allies now.

Well, at least on this one thread.

Preserving Our Nation’s wilderness resources is important. We owe it to our children and grandchildren to leave them with our wildlands and animals to be enjoyed by them and for many generations to come.

I grew up hunting and fishing. If I ever have kids I want them to enjoy the same pastimes I grew up with.

 
 

Adolph Hitler was a conservative on social issues. He was one of the Nation’s early opponents of abortion he would have been appaled at the modern gay rights movement, which of course wasn’t even spoken of in polite society in those days, he also didn’t believe in evolution. He was a National Socialist who opposed illegal immigration and believed that German should be the official language of the Nation.

Some of his economic issues leave much to be desired, however he was a great man and a great patriot who stood firm for German supremacy on the world stage, for National Socialism (he coined the term Master Race to describe our superiority) and for traditional values.

 
 

“So where do Jewish people fit in the whole White Nationalist thing? I mean besides in cattle cars and ovens?”

Who ever said anything about cattle cars and ovens? White Nationalism is simply the defense of Our Nation’s White heritage. America was founded as a White Christian Nation, White Christians have shaped our unique American civilization and all of Western civilization. And as white people and part of the greater Judeo Christian tradition, Jews are considered our own.

While we certainly believe in the superiority of our own race, we don’t advocate the murder of anyone. We simply advocate for White people to remain in the majority, and we seek to accomplish this by using our Christian religion to encourage the births of more white children, a ban on interracial marriage, the deportation of all illegal aliens, and the ban of all non white immigation to America.

 
 

He was one of the Nation’s early opponents of abortion he would have been appaled at the modern gay rights movement

About half of America was founded on an economic system entirely built around slavery. The man who penned the phrase “all men are created equal” was a slaveowner, Steve. Does that justify it, since our founding fathers were slave owners? Nationalism rises out of a temper tantrum over the fact that being white doesn’t give you privelige above all others. It’s no different from white supremacy.

You do realize, old man, that the very term “Judeo Christian” is a concession to political correctness and modern social pressure?

A hundred years ago, you couldn’t have found anyone in Real America who thought of this as a “Judeo Christian” nation. Back then, we were a Protestant nation God damn it, and if those filthy Mary worshippers and Moses worshippers on the other side of the tracks didn’t like it, they could GIT OUT!!! (The word back then would have been “Christian heritage,” with the tacit understanding, still true today in many churches, that Catholics aren’t real Christians).

But the Jews and Catholics just wouldn’t go away, and the political changes set in motion in the thirties and forties made them respectable despite the best efforts of the old order. So after the sixties, even committed nationalists had to start using that ridiculous phrase “Judeo Christian heritage.” It has all their ancestors rolling in their graves, but what can I say? Even bigots need to evolve once in a while.

If an idiot like Struber ever walked into my gun club spewing this nonsense about “survival of the fittest” and “animal extinction” he would be walking out of their with some broken bones and minus a few teeth to boot.

Especially after we’ve been drinking.

Well then…..stay drunk assole.

this one.Why are you liberals attacking me? I am on your side on this one. I support conservation and I agree that Don Struber is a complete idiot and an unpatriotic one at that for advocating the destruction of America’s wilderness areas.

So why the hate? I’m on your side on

Yeah , Okay, Stevo, so you got the loaderd guns , and You can Go put Struber out of his misery …if you want…….on your own volition.

I bet the moderators will pick up on it , make a thread with your pic.

Arrrghhhh!

This guy and his minions scour the sea enough to find Sasquatch aready. That’s how you know sasq don’t exist. He hadn’t showed up in the nets yet. Not even a floater.

Hey Steve- Go hunting with DickCheney , Make sure he gets to play wit the flame thrower!

 
 

A few thoughts very, very late to the thread:

1. This thread, along with the Kneedeepinstupidler one are why I love this place. So very, very much win. I keep interrupting The Boy’s Dinosaur Train and I think he’s going to kill me with his toy Diplodicus.

2. I’m concerned that this …

This one I like because it gets rid of all evidence of the offender.

and this:

… require more geek than I currently (and perhaps, ever will) possess. HALP!

3. To Chris: You, sir, I’d like to have a drink with instead. Even though I can’t drink alcohol (I like to breath) and you probably live somewhere I’ll never visit, and vice versa. But the invitation stands.

4. Really? She’s a candidate for our national legislative body? We’re DOOOOOOMMMMED!

 
 

Mark –

Re item 2: Use Firefox as your browser, install the Greasemonkey add-on, then install the script. Personally, I like having badgers perform jumping jacks every time an asshole speaks.

 
 

N_B–
Already use Firefox, so will do that here in a few (I tagged the script pages).

And, yes, badgers will be the choice.

No if I can just do that with my work email when it comes from my boss …

Explain to him that the most efficient method of sending intra-office messages is to post them on S,N!
You do work for the pointy-haired boss, right?

Kinda.

Make him a her, and add in some issues — specifically, the belief that no one should have a family and sacrifice everything for their jobs, and it’s spot-on.

Just installed Greasemonkey and the dancing badgers script.

Fucking. Genius.

**standing ovation**

They should give Nobel Prizes for shit like that.

 
 

Question: How do you add users to that thing?

 
 

On the date line for each comment, below the commenter’s name, should be the word “kill”. Click on that and that name gets badgered.

 
 

First!

But without a family, you have no-one for the sacrifice. Boss needs to think again.

 
 

Damn – it seems my comments at the World’s Bestest Charleston Daily Mail Blogger™ site are forever being blocked. ‘Tis a brave man who can successfully wield comment blocking.

Conservationism – save those critters and fishes! I might want to kill them later, for fun! And to build character!

Environmentalism has different motives. They often have similar goals, but the motives affect the methods, and the outcomes. Duh.
