  1. Re:This is the problem with Hate Speech Laws by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Insightful · on Rackspace Shuts Down Quran-Burning Church's Sites

    It's not illegal to build it there, even if 98% of Americans don't want it. Guess what, I don't want it. It offends me. It pisses me off. It's a victory mosque. The imam is doing this out of spite. Did you know there was a Greek Orthodox that's nearby and destroyed when WTC fell on it? Do you know that they haven't been given their permit to rebuild but the city has given one to the imam? They've been trying since it was destroyed.. There's that double standard again. How long do we have to put up with it?

    98% of Americans, eh? Only if you consider the Sarah Palin definition of Americans i.e. People who agree with what I have to say.

    And I thought the myth of "Ground Zero Greek Orthodox church liberal conspiracy" was fairly debunked. It was nothing but more right-wing hate propaganda.

    Also, it's not a mosque, but a cultural center. And nothing about it says victory. But I digress. And frankly, at this point, this is a lost cause.

    You really should look into other news sources besides Fox News.

    http://www.sadlyno.com/archives/5125.html In the USA, atheists are obviously distrusted even more than homosexuals. I guess that communists would have similar ratings. Perhaps his feelings aren't just "feelings"?

    The parent poster links to a press release from Sen. James Inhofe. For an amusing take on the OP's "citation", read this. For a science-y take, read this. The money shot is that out of 528 papers (576 in the Deltoid search) in the Inhofe press release, only 3 reject the consensus. From the Deltoid article

    The three that do reject the consensus are Gerhard, which was published in the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Bulletin; Shaviv arguing for cosmic rays, which doesn't explain how they could make a difference over the past 50 years when the cosmic rayflux hasn't changed over that period; and Zhen-Shan and Xian, which is just a rubbish paper that should not have been published. (What is the next number in this sequence? 60. Their answer is 60.)

  5. Our choices are sometimes not that choicy. by Grendel+Drago · · Score: 1 · on Cheap, Safe, Patentless Cancer Drug Discovered
    There's a lot of hiding behind the volunteer nature of the military when someone mentions that the troops are sort of on indefinite stay in the desert, that they're being used as meat-shields for the President's ego, or something of that nature. Put slightly more crudely, it means that we use the poorest among us as meat-shields, and pretend that they weren't shuffled into the military by lying recruiters, by economic circumstances, or by anything else. No, no, they volunteered, so if we want to throw them all into a monstrously expensive face-saving gesture, well, they signed up for it.

    but certainly, a true warrior would go through all of toughest moments of their respective career without wanting to be thanked for it each step of the way.
    Absolutely. If you've never seen Bill Whittle's TRIBES, possibly the most disturbingly masturbatory piece of jingoistic military-worship ever typed, I suggest you read it. (It's been called an "interminable 5500-word pronouncement about Dorito-stained resolve".)
  6. Re:More interesting will be to see who lives there by NoTheory · · Score: 1 · on Rebuilding New Orleans With Science

    New Orleans is the only major city now with a miniscule number of blacks.

    Would you like to substantiate this with something other than totally fucking wild speculation, and an inability to do basic arithmetic?

    We'll give the DMort teams the benefit of the doubt and say there were actually 40k people killed in New Orleans. We'll further give you the benefit of the doubt and say they're all african americans. When you subtract 40,000 from 1,300,000 what do you get?

    Oh that's right, numbers that aren't going to substantially change racial demographics!

    You're going to need to extricate your ass from your predjudice before you can get your head free out of it.

  7. The Poor Man by andrewagill · · Score: 1 · on Your Favorite Political Weblogs?

    Personally, I'm a fan of The Poor Man, Sadly, No!, and uggabugga. I hate Atrios, but at least he keeps you abreast of what's going on. For election coverage, there's Andrew S. Tannenbaum's electoral-vote.com and the polling report I have a whole list of `em. I'm not gonna give you all the links, that's what Google's for: World O'Crap, Matthew Yglesias, the All Spin Zone, Hullabaloo, Daily Kos, This Modern World, War Liberal. Democratic Veteran, The Al Franken web site, The Majority Report, Media Matters for America, TBOGG, democratic underground, hoffmania, and a few others...

  8. Re:Wait, what? by AEton · · Score: 2, Interesting · on Katie Jones Interviewed

    It's kind of like what happened to satiric "The Pet Goat" reviews - most of them are gone now, deleted into oblivion.

    Happily, the classic "The Story About Ping" review is still available, though I'm not sure whether the Amazon reviewer plagiarized from the /. story or vice versa. (There was some question as to whether the submitter was really the author of the Amazon review.)
