@raymitch7410 Apparently you haven't read Einstein or about Einstein. His thinking in developing relativity was greatly influenced by Immanuel Kant's "Critique of Pure Reason." Ever read Kant? Ever hear of Kant? You don't merely lack a grounding in a liberal education. You lack a grounding i...

@twooffour You're full of something but "glee" is not the word I would use.

Imagine paying a lot of money to look like that! Most people who look like that have been in a terrible automobile accident and need reconstructive plastic surgery to recover a normal-looking face. Joan paid to look like an accident victim!

For the life of me, I can't understand why people are dumping on Sheriff Babeu because he and his ex-boyfriend have had an ugly break-up. Who--straight, gay, or bi--hasn't? As a soldier, police officer, and now sheriff, Mr. Babeu has served America and Americans well. Why is he now a target of...

Sheriff Babeu opposes illegal immigration, not Mexicans. Only a careless bigot like Cenk Ugyar would confuse the two.

@beeblmeyer I don't understand how people think Paul Babeu is a hypocrite. He opposes *illegal* immigration but had a boyfriend who was and is a *legal* immigrant currently resident in the USA? Where's the hypocrisy in that? Last time I looked legal immigration was legal. That he kept his gay ...

Let us pray: God, Creator of the universe, please give us your loud-mouthed servant Rick Santorum as the Republican presidential nominee. Republicans deserve him. Fundie loonies deserve him. Dominionits deserve him. Catholic bishops deserve him. Let him be the raving anti-reality candidate ...

I really like the naked hypocrisy of Fox: Fox talking heads dump all over MSNBC for canning Buchanan AT THE VERY SAME TIME that Fox cans Judge Napolitano. But where are the Fox talking heads who will dump all over their employer for sacking another conservative voice?

A doctor who doesn't believe in evolution: his name is Ron Paul and he's running for president of the United States.

Is there no end to the parade of sexual neurotics in the Republican party? Does the Republican party seriously want to the be anti-sex party? Is there a political future in that?

So finally that sewer rat pretending to be a man, Pat Buchanan, has been expunged from MSNBC. At last! But sadly we haven't seen the last of him. I'm sure he'll end up on TV's toxic waste dump, Fox News, with a fat contract from Rupert Murdoch.

I had forgotten what a relentless bore that movie was. Now that I've watched the extended introduction, I remember.

One of the devices that Big Brother uses in 1984 is violent, extreme rhetoric. Mr. Bashir has adopted that Orwellian device to denounce Rick Santorum. Santorum sounds like Stalin? Hello? Such a charge is preposterous on its face. Rick Santorum is totalitarian? Hello again? There's plenty to cri...

Since Americans now buy T-shirts and garden furniture made in Vietnam, can someone explain why America fought a war in Vietnam? Why did millions of Vietnamese--from both North and South--die? Why did some 58,000 Americans die? Why did hundreds of thousands of Americans come home wounded and ma...

I've discovered an indicator that infallibly identifies anti-gay bigots and opponents of gay marriage: ugliness. Theoretical justification: ugly hate inside manifests itself as physical ugliness outside. Test case: Maggie Gallagher, a hideous, gelatinous blob of anti-gay prejudice and hate. Ta...

If liars should be arrested, DL, you ought to be doing a perp walk right this very moment.

Way too fast. Hello? Need to catch a bus? Church on fire? Somebody running the 100-yard dash? What ninnie thought that this tempo was appropriate for a hymn?

@DJCompoz I notice that my comments are slowly accumulating thumbs up from folks who think that fiction which offers itself as realistic should actually respect reality and its constraints. Harry Potter and Star Wars are light, inconsequential entertainments aimed at children. This movie aimed ...

If you read Dan Barker's books, you find that he was a member of that recent, largely American phenomenon of fundamentalism/pentecostalism, a bizarre amalgam of 20th century American social mores, enthusiasms, folklore and a mangled version of Christianity shorn of its historical context and alie...

CPAC sounds more and more like a Nuremberg rally.

Thousands of generations, huh? Then exactly how does this bozo know that back 10 generations or 20 or however many his great-great-etc grandparents weren't black? How is it possible that this racist BS still captures minds when biology and genetics have refuted it from top to bottom, inside and...

You need to read Thomas Huxley. You misuse the word he coined: agnostic. By that term he meant the question of the existence of God was not resolvable either affirmatively or negatively because the resolution requires knowledge that no possible human experience could acquire. It's really a logic...

@ReligiousUnderdog You don't read much, do you? Perhaps you haven't had enough time to read deeply what with you being only 15 and spending all that time in your orthodontist's waiting room. Read mythologies of mid-eastern ancient cultures. Earth, sun, moon, stars, rivers--everything in the wor...

Teach about creationism and creationists in a sociology class or a current affairs class or even a modern history class. Creationism is a social phenomenon and should be studied. Mr. Pakman is off-base. By the way, there's no reason why creationism shouldn't be discussed and critiqued in scien...

Cal Thomas is the best argument in favor of abortion.

How come people who spot Big Foot or mammoths or Nessie or whatever can NEVER focus their cameras? Hello? You'd think these fakers would try a new trick once in a while.

Add these three IQs up and the result still has only two digits.

@GoldenBrown169 In English it is. The comparative of "stupid" can be formed with either the "-er" suffix or the adverb "more" just as the superlative can be formed with either the "-est" suffix or the adverb "most." What language are you thinking about?

I guess drums and Widor were worth a try. You've tried it. Now never do that again.
