Ever notice that the more "bipartisan support" there is for some policy in Washington the more likely that policy is to be an unmitigated disaster?

I wonder why that might be?

Clemons presents totally unpersuasive cases for Bloomberg and Hagel in particular, and a less then persuasive case for "Unity '08" in general.

Nor, it seems, did Clemons actually persuade himself, either.

Nonetheless, Clemons presented the strongest possible case for "Unity '08" - - so his presentation is worth looking at.

A historical note on when not to take advice from Clemons: Remember that, if the voters in Rhode Island had take advice from Steve Clemons in 2006, they would have re-elected Lincoln Chafee, instead of electing Sheldon Whitehouse, who has done some bad things but who is better than Chafee, and Chafee would have made Trent Lott the Senate Majority Leader, which would have been worse than having Harry Reid. Clemons has, perhaps, a bit too high a regard for certain certain self-styled "moderate" "maverick" Republicans. But at least Chafee had voted against the AUMF, so he was more worthy of respect than is Hagel.

They all look alike.

A few days later, Bloomberg was offering to campaign for Lieberman

Chant to the muted video of Michelle Malkin or the flat-footed cheerleader of your choice . . .

Gimme an "A", gimme a "I", gimme a "P", gimme an "A", gimme a "C". . .

Boy, was this one easy to join the dots on.

Hell's bells, now I've seen everything. I'm supposed to vote for Michael Bloomberg--a neocon, neofascist, everything-for-Israel lunatic--and I'll get something DIFFERENT?

Bullshit.

Dr. Ron Paul for President--now more than ever!

This is devastating:

Ron Paul: Quackery enabler

Wendell Berry often gets poetic when he writes about the earth and all that grows on it, and he champions the idea of eating well, and so on. But I've never been able to wrap my mind around the fact that the elephant in his living room is the fact that he grew up in a family that for five generations grew tobacco.

@ 6:43 & 6:44~

Remember the 9th grade drop-out nixing college desires based on Phy.ed requirements, typing class, music fundamentals, periodic suspensions for smokin' between classes, a flunky at typing, and those necking's behind the locker door reported? Yep. The cafeteria fights were messy.

Neill is still all locked up? Barred.

i'Ting I-Ching @ 9:06 is not 100% honest.

As A. L., The Cheers Guy always fool/sage reminds to say without fail,

Cheers.

Or, 'Just maybe you left something in your pants back pocket that came out in the washing machine? Mommy's wondering what's going on?' Who's is that?

Ya's Not Confusing everybody around this dang joint on a daily basis. Blame Neill and not anyone silly-else.

Neill. You aint so darn stupid as ya's looks.

Neill. Remember when the Lady you were with at the amusement park...[?]...

Neill. She was a pregnant beauty. Her water broke at the top of the Ferris wheel. That was a nice shower. Who will forget that champagne cork pop sound? Wild. Sauvage. Yep.

Cheers.

P.S. Neill, I've two sons, one daughter, and one honest-fun Granddaughter. My year's wish is at this latter age in Life that no one, no one, and not even the devious government agents (hush. too nasty. shush. believe you me. diabolically. slanderous. premeditated. malice. have no respect for their daily aforethought shenanigans. do not respect 'um. character assassinating) blames me for the rolled up round 'rubber' in the washing machine. In the appliance 'washer' there was a wrapped in colorful (cellophane-bingo) ...I get blamed. A loon

He addresses that in novels ans essays, profoundly. He's not in denial. He can speak. He's old enough to talk for his self. He has no stone to throw at you? Ask him.

Just let him address the tobacco issue.

He's very clear. In Catonsville Md, there is a winding road named 'Rolling Road'...Barrels of the harvested 'smoke' was rolled up and down hills by slaves toward the Patapsco River and train rails...the smoke went to white man's coops for sale. huh-motto. Farmer work. Sell harvest cheap. And buy everything retail.

Okay- How about your local economy? Let's hope Pall Mall and Pizza Hut aren't down the block? No smoke or breath those residual chemicals in tobacco, or air because a polluter was permitted into your village, town, or urban sprawl neighborhood? He will deal with how rural people survived back then in Kentucky.

A Mr Giuliani wants a cigar etc., and the demand?

Read WB and stop casting stones...

From my perspective, it appears that she does this to enhance the apparent contrast between current thought (which is really a pretty broad spectrum) with her ideas about symbiogenesis. But when the dust settles, I'm not sure the positions are necessarily as diametrically opposed as suggested.

That is the worst hatchet job you have done in a while!

The quote above, with no attribution, is pure fantasy. Dr. Margulis is pointing out the vast difficulties real scientists have in overcoming the religion of Darwinism. This is not a fight between uneducated TV preachers and evolutionists; rather a fight between evolutionists and dogmatic Darwinists.

She consented to take questions on her revolutionary theories in a most hostile venue, and was asked about HIV!!!

Jesus, Joseph, and Mary.

It seems a similar dynamic is happening here.

Ron Paul ( a physician and hence someone who knows better) says he doubts evolution. He's doing so because a significant portion of his base object to science on religious grounds and he doesn't want to alienate them.

This is clearly dishonest.

The dishonesty is all yours, what a hack you are.

Ron Paul claimed that Darwinism is not a 'fact' and that he did not enter politics to discuss such trivial matters. Do you really think he would force public schools to teach Ted Steele's neo-Lamarckism?

You present the false choice of the church of Darwin v. the church of the rabid creationist fundamentalists.

Shame on you, to toss your honesty overboard over such a trivial matter. (to the state of the nation)

Bucky, who has made it clear that he DOES believe in evolution has nevertheless found himself in a position where he needs to defend Ron Paul so he pretends that there's some rigid orthodoxy that I am defending other than a belief in the lawfulness of nature and the validity of the scientific method. In doing so he creates a controversy that needn't exist all of which is needed to provide cover for the pandering of his hero to his base.

This too, is clearly dishonest.

-- Paul Dirks

You fail as a mind reader; but you do OK for a liar.

Both the rigid orthodoxy of the church and the rigid orthodoxy of the Darwinists is standing in the way of scientific progress and in the way of science education.

You would do much better in an attack on Ron Paul to bring up the latest immigration commercial. That was pandering to the base and you would get no disagreement from me --- and yet you lie about him and evolution!

You do understand that he thinks education is a state matter and the Presidency should have no authority over local education matters, no?
