Links of the Day

Dean Barnett got a polite (really!) response from a MoveOn.org member about the “General Betray Us” ad, and he responds. They really need to more closely base their community on reality.
The eight most common sci-fi visions of the future and why they’ll never happen. I considered Cracked to be a poor man’s Mad Magazine as a kid, but their online site seems to have a ton of great articles. (hat tip Conservative Grapevine)
Mary Katharine Ham has has the top twoofer myths to be able to respond to. That’s more to explain to people who have just heard of that silliness; it’s not worth it arguing science with an actual twoofer because that’s just casting pearls before swine.
Here’s a Get Fuzzy comic my dad pointed me to that seems strangely political for the Sunday comics page (daily comic strips are probably the least risque medium left in America… with a few notable exceptions). If I remember right, that cat also hates monkeys, so maybe I should read that comic more. In the future, I’ll have to teach my dad that you can find comics online and send them in e-mail, as he still clips them for me from the paper. Then again, my dog still doesn’t know how to use a doorknob but I still love her.
But the dog never psychologically abused me.

  1. Why we won’t have:

    “An Invasion by Hostile Aliens:”
    Because so far the only aliens technologically advanced enough to visit Earth seem primarily interested in abducting hicks and probing anuses. These poor creatures cross the vast emptiness of space only to crash their saucers in New Mexico and have no technology to avoid detection by farm folk with disposable cameras.

    Now that’s funny right there.

  2. Get Fuzzy is hilarious, even though the pet’s owner is a lefty. Bucky the cat once decides he’s going to eat a real monkey 20 times his size with a spork. It’s a riot.
    Dean Barnett was more measured than the twit deserved. I’m suprised “Total” Dick Durbin got a pass for comparing real hero Petraus with Kerry and the swiftboat vets.

  3. Re #4 (Flag):
    (d) The flag should never be used as wearing apparel
    –4 USC Section 1 (The Flag Code)
    I know what’s coming: “That’s MY flag, I defended it, and no flag-nazi’s gonna tell me how to display it.” The flag is over-exposed; thus subject to easy defamation. It belongs on (some) government installations, our military, special occasions, and not your car antenna and made-in-China sportswear. Now, question my patriotism.

  4. You should have read the Get Fuzzy for 8/13. You cannot get to it on the site anymore, they only let you go back 30 days. The cat took a call from an environmentalist and told her to call back when Rob was home because he “would throw more money at her than a democrat at a gay atheists bake sale.”
