yeah, phd level climatologists who have worked in the field all their lives have yet to realize that the sun affects climate; good thing we have alert laypersons, most of whom by coincidence are republicans, to remind us! After all, the IPCC fourth assessment working group 1 report only has five full pages discussing estimates of the magnitude of the effect of the sun, how they were derived, and their reliability.

the bible doesn't say a word about lesbians either way. if they're good enough for the good book they're good enough for me and that school with their new fangled "modern religion" is defying god.

yeah, that's the stinging indictment of the self-proclaimed "conservative" movement we've been saying for quite a while now.

rush limbaugh's the conscience, gwbush is the coldly logical intellect, and dick cheney is the warm caring humanism.

why the hell is o'reilly finding it necessary to attack alba's intellectual credibility? does he see the fate of the nation locked in a battle of wits between himself and her?

oh yes, definitely.

jews are also required to fart at moslems, sweat on hindus, weep onto shintos, throw ear wax onto jains, bleed onto confuscians, and i can't describe what they are supposed to do to zoroastrians in a family website.

say what?

from my personal experience, it's apparently because so many of them have unfinished business of some kind with their fathers. i can't see any other reason why i would be convicted of so many things that i am manifestly innocent of. (for the record, i seem to be pretty good at attracting to myself accusations i don't deserve, absolutely as a result of unfinished business with my own family of origin. every duck finds his duckess.... but we were psychoanalyzing women here, fortunately)

i also see a similar pattern in my various relationships and most of my friends':

"you were out there fooling around with the car all day while i'm in here cooking dinner for you and the kids!"

"honey, it needed a brake job, you can't just put that off; i'd be just as happy cooking if you wanted to do the brake job, but the fact is you can't, so we both contribute what we can"

"well you could pay a mechanic to do the brake job!"

"honey, for what a brake job costs, we could eat out or get takeout food for a long long time, if you felt you didn't want to cook"

doesn't cut any ice, though. bottom line is, women's domestic work is valued; men's contribution to the domestic upkeep, not.

the other problem: as some fictional wife on some random tv show said it last year at some point, "the problem isn't that he doesn't do the housework, the problem is that he doesn't do it exactly like i would do it". i've gotten in trouble not only for being too lackadaisical on some aspects of housecleaning, but for being too thorough on others. and i have to say that that's something that transcends gender, having had the same sort of conflicts with same sex roommates in college, and noting within myself the same feelings towards the housework efforts of room/housemates of either gender.

well, for some (but not all) matrilineal hierarchies, that seems to be an effective way for the mother to maintain control of daughter forever, attempting to "pay mom back for all her sacrifices", and trying to show mom that she grew up worthy; and typically the same pattern gets tried out on the next generation. who here hasn't seen the stereotypical mother cliche, "oh just let me starve to death here in the dark, as long as you're happy", etc. doesn't work as well on sons, for whatever reason; not effective on all daughters either.

guys, once a nation decides to exile and/or execute a large segment of its best lawyers, doctors, scientists, writers, artists, musicians, statesmen, even soldiers and war heros, the question of whether parts of that plan make sense or don't make sense is kind of moot.

let me put it this way; if hitler had been nice to the jews instead of nasty, germany would probably have gotten the nuclear bomb long before america did. next to that decision, does the decision to use your military to kill jews seem so weird that nobody could possibly make that decision?

for any company, any executive compensation over 250K or 1 million or whatever seems a "reasonable" cash salary, ought to be in long term stock options. the only way to stop this short term bleeding and tie executive's agendas to those of the companies and the stockholders. i'm continually amazed that stockholders don't insist on it.

if you get rid of the things which make finance so attractive a career for greedy incompetents, they will end up going into medicine, or engineering. not a good idea. maybe more of them will go into law than already do.

all our base are belong to them!

i urge everyone reading this to investigate their family and friends to ensure that none of them are communist moles. but first, to ensure security, we must all investigate ourselves. i have found some holes in my own life story which i am currently prying into to determine if i am lying or not. until i provide myself with the original copy of my birth certificate, i would take everything i am saying with a grain of salt.

how come if so many jews were killed by the nazis, you never meet one who was? only those who survived? aha, the achilles heel of their plan for world domination, starting with gaza. as is well known, the nation which controls gaza controls the world.

(this is supposed to be sarcastic, but i know i can't come close to what the nutcases post in all seriousness)

after john paul II, the pendulum has indeed swung in this, as so many other matters.
