I either woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning or have a mild case of the rage virus from 28 Days Later.
I’m pretty sure science journalism actually makes you dumber from reading it.
Stephen Hawking has said that physics, not God, was the reason for the Big Bang, a pronouncement that should shatter religious views among those who’ve never spent more than three minutes in theological thought. I mean, he might be smart at science, but this is dumb teenager level on theology.
“Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing,” said Hawking. So I should I point out the obvious? If you have gravity, then it wasn’t nothing, dummy! I mean you can say physics causing something to come from nothing, but where did the laws of physics come from? Did they spontaneously arise? If so, what caused that? Were they around forever? Are you saying physics just is, like God?
The fact is, if the universe were pure nothing — no energy or matter or laws governing them — then science would be very much able to explain everything. You don’t need God or forces outside science for nothing. But as soon as you have something — anything — you get a whole bunch of uncomfortable questions about where did that come from. Existence isn’t rational. And that’s when you move from science to Science! to try to get the square peg into the logical round hole.
So the reason we get crazy people like the Discovery Channel hostage taker is people have extreme views and stuff, and they probably shouldn’t have those. I don’t know where people get extreme views from; maybe it’s from kids on the playground. Anyway, parents should be very careful your kids don’t have extreme views, and if their views get extreme, you should give them a spanking.
Perhaps some people don’t know their views are extreme. That’s silly. It’s very easy to tell if you’re views are extreme. If every time you tell people your views, everyone is like, “That’s crazy!” That means your views are extreme.
But what if people just aren’t enlightened enough on the subject?
That’s not the case. Your views are extreme. Get better views.
I’m pretty sure I’m right and everyone else is just an unthinking sheeple!
No. You are wrong. You have extreme, crazy views and you should stop that.
RON PAUL!
I said stop that! Stop that now!
Wait, who am I talking to?
Anyway, test out your views and if people say they’re crazy, they probably are. But test them out with lots of different people. Like if you’ve only told your views to professors and students on a college campus and they all think you’re super correct, that’s actually a sign your views are both extreme and hugely moronic.
So go out there, and don’t be extreme!
The left keep saying that all of the right’s talk about not liking taxes and big government is going to lead to violence or something, but then it seems like it’s just the left that’s been going crazy lately. Which makes sense. Why do people become violent? Often because they feel voiceless and powerless. Why would the right feel like that, though? They have people like Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck constantly annoying liberals so they don’t feel voiceless, and they’re on their way to trounce the left in November, so there is no reason to feel powerless.
What about the left, though? They’re starting to feel voiceless as the MSM is losing influence and all their big lefty heroes like Olbermann have pathetic audiences compared to FOX News reruns. Also, all the issues the left has been doubling down on like the Arizona immigration law and the Ground Zero mosque has only increased the support for the other side, showing Americans are very actively not listening to the left. And how powerless the left must feel as they head for November. The election of Obama with a filibuster proof Senate and a huge majority in the House is the most power liberals will see in their lifetime, and they only got a couple things done which Americans are now itching to tear down. When you look at it that way, there is a huge risk of the left becoming even more unhinged and possibly violent.
The solution: Shove liberals into boxes marked “Do Not Open Until Christmas.” By then, most of the craziness will have passed. Also, now we’ll have a new gift for bad children other than lumps of precious precious coal.
Just make sure to put the liberals into the boxes gently so they don’t accuse us of being violent.
No amount of actual left-wing violence will stop the whining about potential right-wing violence.
A big part of that is no take the left seriously as a physical threat. Or as anything else, for that matter.
From the Discovery Channel hostage taker’s manifesto, the guy sounds pretty crazy… almost enough to fit in at the Daily Kos.
So how do they make this guy right-wing? He hates humans… which means he hates minorities which are a subset of humans!
Kinda sounds like a manifesto one of the V would write. “Filthy human children!”
Did Obama once say something about people being punished with disgusting human babies?
The solution is that people shouldn’t have like extreme views and stuff.
So did the left learn their lesson now or are they still claiming Stack was a right-winger?
No reason to blame Lee on left; the despicable morons who tried to blame previous crazy people on the right just need to apologize.
Trying to get people to shut up by saying their views could lead to violence is antithetical to the idea of free speech.
The left who try to shut up people by dismissing them as racist or saying they’re violent hate free speech.
I guess its possible that all the nonsense talk about the right being violent could make the left more crazy and violent.
It just seems like we should be able to discuss taxes and the role of government without worry about what crazy people will do.
I’ll tell you now what crazy people will do: Crazy things!
Anyway, expect the left to get crazier and more desperate as November approaches. Possibly violent!
All of society agrees that software agreements are just theater and no one actually reads them, right?
It just occurred to me it’s someone’s job to write those software agreements. Guessing high suicide rate for that occupation.
18 months paid paternity leave in Sweden? What the what? I’d like a week off when our kids is born, but how could I take 18 months off and not feel like a complete bum? Also, if your company can do without you for 18 months, you must not do anything very important in the first place.
I’m pretty sure most of Europe now only exists because America is around to do everything useful.
Here’s an awesome action sequence:
I’ve always wanted to make an action movie. I figure I’ll come up with some cool action sequence ideas and then I’ll just build the movie plot around it. It’s pretty simple; you just have everybody after a MacGuffin or something. Doesn’t matter what.
Anyway, here are some of my action scene ideas:
* Submarine gets attacked by scuba diving Tyrannosaurus Rex.
* Kung fu fight between a man and a grizzly bear with a chainsaw.
* Epic lasergun battle with vampire Hitler.
* Giant robot punches out the moon.
* Old west shootout with sharks with guns.
* Ninjas beat up zombie hippies.
* Main evil villain finished off by being shot with a baboon cannon (that’s a cannon that fires baboons, not a cannon that turns people into baboons — that would be a baboon transfiguration cannon).
I don’t know if I can put all that action in one film as the MPAA might object; probably wouldn’t let me do it unless I put in some message about saving the environment or something. I hate them.
What do you want to see in an action sequence?
There has been a resurgence lately of bedbugs, especially in New York City, so I thought I’d do everyone a favor and get my crack research team to find out all they can on the menace known as bedbugs.
FUN FACT ABOUT BEDBUGS
* Bedbugs live on mammal blood, though they sometimes eat at Arby’s.
* Among the college-age, they’re known as futonbugs.
* Bedbugs sleep all day and then come out at night and drink your blood. Sometimes they don’t even leave marks so you wouldn’t even know the next day. You’re probably covered in bed bug bites and bed bug eggs right now and don’t even know it. Stay away from me! Unclean!
* Despite the name, bedbugs are not true bugs. Nothing is a true bug to scientists, in fact. To them, “bug” is a title you strive for but can never quite achieve.
* If you know your home has bedbugs, whatever you do, don’t tell anyone. People will assume you live in filth and shun you like an Amish man with an iPod.
* Bedbugs had mainly died out in the first half of the last century, but then had a resurgence starting in in the mid-nineties, probably reintroduced by Bill Clinton sleeping around with people.
* In a fight between Aquaman and bedbugs, Aquaman would be pretty safe because he sleeps underwater. And frankly, Aquaman doesn’t care if you’re itchy.
* If you find yourself surrounded by bedbugs, whatever you do, don’t fall asleep. Especially if they’ve teamed up with Freddy Kruger.
* Bedbugs have had the biggest resurgence in New York City. Apparently, the things that repel bedbugs are smoking, transfats, and salt.
* Many people will tell others, “Goodnight; don’t let the bedbugs bite.” But they’re not like vampires; you don’t have to invite them in. They’ll drink your blood even without permission.
* Actually, since they already drink blood, how could you even tell if a bedbug had become a vampire? I’d sleep with some garlic just in case.
* Are you feeling itchy right now? A little itchy somewhere? I bet you’re feeling a little itchy. Bedbugs!
* If you think you have bedbugs, spray with DDT. The EPA may object, but you can just bind and gag the EPA agents and throw them in your crawl space as that’s completely environmentally safe.
* There are dogs trained to sniff out bedbugs and they are very efficient at it, though not as efficient as the dogs trained to find cooked bacon.
* A serious bedbug infestation can cause anxiety, stress, insomnia, and, if the the bedbugs are radioactive, superpowers.
* I bet you’re feeling itchy. Bedbugs!
So Obama gave a speech about the Iraq War because it’s like over or something. I don’t know; I didn’t watch the speech since… well, it was a speech.
Anyway, I think we need to give some credit to Obama for not screwing things up in Iraq. He has shown an ability to really screw things up, but, for some reason, he just never decided to screw up the Iraq War and that was awesome of him. Instead, he just continued the policies of Bush who, though he may have been a sucky president at times, was superior to Obama in every conceivable way.
So Obama says he’s now going to focus Afghanistan, but I hope he isn’t really going to focus on it. Like, he’ll leave it to generals and stuff while he fiddles around with other things. That would also be awesome of him. We really need to find something Obama can focus on that none of us care about. Like the environment. I don’t care if his bumbling destroys the environment, as I never really liked it. Especially squirrels which are a part of the environment.
Anyway, since it can’t be said enough, thanks to all those who serve in the military and keep us safe so we can blog stupid stuff.
If Obama is not a Muslim, why does he keep lying about being a Muslim like we know all Muslims do?
Eh on “The Blaze.” Current headline is “Explicit Poetry GPS Phones Help Illegals”. I don’t even know how to parse that sentence. News sites need to scream something on the homepage to get me to click, not confound me.
If I ran a publishing company, my default rejection letter would be, “Your book is stupid and so are you.”
So has anyone tried dressing up as a cowboy pirate before, or can I copyright that?
The opinion is the Sarah Palin robocalls in Alaska had a big effect? I don’t know of any robocall that did anything other than make me mad.
Wait: There was that robocall from the police about break-ins in the area that motivated me to buy a $200 shotgun from Wal-Mart.
Do people like me for me or do they only like me for how incredibly awesome I am?
I was hoping the country wouldn’t be returning to 1930s depression conditions, but the resurgence of bed bugs isn’t encouraging.
