Been trying to make a PRO-miscegenation argument. He was supposing the study of Swedes and Finns reflected that such populations are less genetically varied and hence the supposition regarding rates of dementia are, as a result, not transitive or comparable to the US population. Essentially he seemed to be supposing that a greater deal of interbreeding might create a greater diathesis for mental disorders.

He sure sounded like an idiot and his nomenclature was off (and offensive), but it does sound as if he making a simple point that the study might not be applicable in other genetic pools, and no conclusion can be made without further study... At least, trying to read through the jibber jabber, that's what i heard.

I have much to say on this subject, but I have to go walk my husband. He's 'gone' on the carpet again. Inter-species mating has its downsides!

You can count on my vote for group moderator of all Salon comments! Finally the voice of reason speaks!

So a Finn and a Swede walked into a bar,

In the suburbs of Saskatoon.

Said the Swede to the Finn, "Is it hoping too much

To wish to be married soon?

A Swede for you and a Finn for me,

With love in our hearts, and baby makes three,

And a sweet little house on an acre or three,

With a fine front door with a lock and a key,

In a cul-de-sac at the edge of town,

And we'll climb on our roof as the sun goes down

At the edge of the prairie in Saskatoon,

In the long twilights in the month of June,

We'll climb on the roof and howl at the moon

On the edge of Saskatoon, eh?

We'll lay on our backs and bay at the moon

In the suburbs of Saskatoon.

We'll play all night and we'll work all day,

Mowing the timber and chopping the hay,

And on fine summer evenings we'll howl at the moon

In the suburbs of Saskatoon, eh?

In the sweet, hot suburbs of Saskatoon

In our twilight hours in the month of June

We'll get up on the roof and howl at the moon

In the suburbs of Saskatoon."

He has Manchurian girlfriend (not candidate!) and he fumes at the money she wastes on perfumes with names like "Rollinthehay" as she cannot spell American very proper. Daphne, who is Australian, is helping with my spelling but I prefer Aaron myself. How the KGB lapped up "Di-nasty" and "Focking-Crest" but best of all was that one about JR Busch in Dallas (Texas). I well remember my didouchka Gregori getting very happy about the charming American ladies like Miz Ellie, I think. He had tingling in the leg.

Here in l'Aquila I take delightful picture of Barack looking at nice rump and Vlad is pleased but the Germans have gone wild as they always do because "german" means "cousin" and they marry each other. Disgusting! Daphne is Australian (did I tell you that before?) and can't stand Austians as they are cousins of Germans who are cousins of each other and nobody else. Now I am Russian FSB and know my onions. Those Swedes were Berserkers with horns on their heads (Daphne says "helmets" is right) and they made minced meats of those fonny peeple in Scotland, Ireland and England- the Walsh not so much. They ravished the women too and left lots of small Svens behind them. Now they live in Minnesota. I am so proud to be Russian and not Egyptian as the Pharaohs were completely mad with sons of the Pharaoh marrying Mom when Daddy died to keep bloodline pure. Russian royal family best of all until marrying daughter of dumpy English queen called Victoria. Then they get hemophilia and maybe H1N1 so it's curtains for them.

Mr. Kilmeade very interesting man. I've been thinking about Dmitri and Daphne calls him "Spudnik" as he has head like potato so his Mom could have been making "beast with two backs" with tuber. Now for more frolics at G8. Mr. Nanki Piu is wearing sarong now instead of dress as he nervous when heard Dmitri has the what you call "the hots" for him after seeing picture of delicious lady.

Oh yeah, let's bash poor rural people and Waffle House employees. You letter writers are so classy. No wonder rural parts of America vote Republican, at least the GOP tries to hide their contempt for them.

I'm sorry. I must have missed something. If I understand your post correctly, I have to be a Democrat to post here? Because everyone here votes Dem, right???

And BTW, most rural parts of America DO vote Republican against their own best interests but not because someone with an unknown political ideology called them "hicks" or made fun of the damned Waffle House. It's because they get their information from places like Fox News and people like Rush Limbaugh. "Information" like the subject of this article.

We already knew that the "big tent" of the Republican party pandered quietly to racist bigots, neo-nazis, skinheads, etc. Maybe they're just getting less subtle about it.

author something. maybe.

I was responding to several letter writers who said this Kilmeade should go to rural Georgia to see what happens when people inbreed, and who were making fun of Waffle House employees, specifically.

I was gonna say "Wow. Just . . . wow." but TreeRol beat me to it, so I'll say instead:

Ho. Lee. Crap.

Good stuff. I have to read more of your posts.

...and to the Gatsby quoter, yes, good old Doctor Goddard... used to "train" his staff to recognize miscreants and imbeciles as they came off the boats. We can thank him for those lovely Kallikak studies (worth a read... at least the critical analyses of his misrepresentation). Too bad he is dead. He could have been a guest on the show.

I hope I didn't offend anyone the way I stated my last message lol

why does calling out fixed news ignorance putting down rural americans to so of the letter readers think rural americans that vote republican are ignorant ?
