Can we go back to the Civil War and let the South win?

Dawkins is right; you can't argue with these people.

Creationists are the intellectual equivalent of the homeless guy who spits on your windshield and rubs it with a dirty handkerchief when you're trapped at a red light, but less warm and amusing.

Unless you're professionally trained, you can't improve either of your lives by trying to talk to him.

When writing about Blanche, the proper usage is not Democratic Senator, but "Democratic" Senator.

Mizz Blanche is stuck in a "Democratic" state that went for McCain by some 58%. The vast majority of her voters aren't smart enough to understand that, after Saint Ronnie, it's now accepted in the other parts of the Deep (ly Stupid) South that Abe Lincoln was really a Democrat, and that all those fine folks fighting against civil rights for the schwartzes (which is very much not the word still used in the local coffee shops) were really Republicans. But her voters know in their guts that no patriot would want to tax Massa who lives in the Big House.

Blanche has to continue to pretend to be a big-D Democrat, but she is not one, and dare not vote like one.

I have always said that I came to the Arkansas Ozarks for the geography, not the conversation. It still beats living in a concrete and asphalt beehive.

When Texas secedes, can they take Joe with them?

Didn't we already play out that little experiment in 1937?

Who knows? Maybe the economy will get lucky and we'll start a third World War. Nothing like it for expansionary spending.

Can we please, please quit talking about saving the planet?

The earth has been revolving around Sol some 3.5 billion years. We H. sapiens have only been able to spell our name for some 5 thousand. The planet did fine without us before we came, and it will do fine without us after we leave.

What we are really talking about saving is the scientific/industrial/technological way of life that started a couple of centuries ago, Sir Isaac Newton being a good a corner post as any.

Until we solve the problem of the massive and continuing overpopulation that science, industry and technology has made possible, all the temporary patches will do is put off the inevitable, and make sure that there are more billions of your children lined up for the massive die-off.

He could propose live conversations with Republicans.

Will someone from the state that no one knows where it is please explain themselves?

To read this.

Why should I do so for free?

We have to remember that our Congresspersons have the same level of arithmetic morality as your average street-walking crack-whore. They both give service in exchange for money, the more money the more service.

The difference is that the honest whores don't have to lie to people to get their place on the street.

People like Pat are rightly terrified that, when they become a permanent minority, as they surely will, the majority will treat them as badly as they treated minorities when they were in power.

What does it matter how long the bill is, when obviously most of these complaining folks can't read anything more complicated than a Wal-Mart ad anyway?

By the way, I just flipped my big-print King James open to the last page, which is number 1566. This, also, is obviously too much for them.

It is time that we gave our Congresspersons the respect that they have earned.

Like the most desperate street-walking crack-whore in east Little Rock, the honorable Congresspersons have given and will continue to give service on both knees to those who have given them cash.

If you have given less cash than the medical-industrial complex, you should expect less service in the big-bucks health-cash issue.

Otherwise would be dishonorable.

Toritto,

I read Malthus in the 60's, read the Club of Rome in the 70's, and decided that my carbon footprint (no one called it that then) would stop with me.

I am neither smug nor comfortable. I have five great-nephews whose grandchildren may come to piss on their parent's graves.

Making human children is a bigger self-indulgence than smoking crack.

It's time to declare a new Civil War, and this time drive the fools south.

The border wall we need in not on the Rio Grande, it's on the Mason-Dixon.

The correct usage is: Rep Mike Ross, "D"-Ark.

You can gauge the seriousness of this sudden apparent logic by the depth of his donations from the medical-industrial complex.

The Nobel Peace Prize committee reached its decision without consulting Limbaugh, or the Okie dumbass, or whomever the rest of them are?

Has there ever been so much looking backward as does the multi-millionaire media in America looking at Republicans?

from the state that gave us Ronald Reagan.

Why are we not surprised?

As we thoroughly chewed in the Reagan thread, the "wild-eyed redistribution of wealth" started under Saint Ronnie and ended at the edge of the deepest hole in the economy since the Great Depression.

If rich folks weren't so foolish about wealth, they would understand that undoing that redistribution will be for the long-term benefit of them and their children. Sooner or later, poor folks get tired of quietly watching their children starve.

Ask Marie Antionette how well that concentration of wealth thing worked for her.
