    I think the poster was trying to be funny, you know, as in 'to laugh'.

    You jerk! I clicked on that link!

  4. Re:Crazy Thought on Study Finds Universe Is 100 Million Years Older Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1

    I believe something like that is happening. Time slows down in a gravitational field, so the speed at which time runs for us, who are in something of a gravity well compared to the voids that exist in the universe, must be slower than for the universe as a whole.

    On the other hand, the position he took at college required that he be a minister. He asked that the requirement be dropped, and it was.

  9. Re:Give me a break on Declassified LBJ Tapes Accuse Richard Nixon of Treason · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You are so right. I am old enough (sigh) to remember the Johnson-Goldwater election campaign of 1964, and in that campaign Goldwater talked escalating the war while Johnson said he would wind it down. Then that bastard turned around and essentially did everything Goldwater had threatened to do, the lying scum.
    On the other hand, this hardly makes Noxin's treason any less despicable.
    Conclusion: mostly all politicians are trash.

  10. Re:$24 on Jammie Thomas Denied Supreme Court Appeal · · Score: 1

    You are so fucked in the head words were not created to describe how much.

    Simply put, it will have to work a little harder to catch up what it would have been doing over that hour anyway

    Actually, you are quite wrong.
    Think of it this way: the only heat (in the heating case) you have to replace is the heat lost through the walls and ceiling. If the heat in a room is kept at K degrees then you replace the heat that is lost at a constant K temperature. On the other hand, if you turn off the heat for a while then the rate of heat loss goes down as the room cools, and the total heat loss, the amount you must replace, is less.

    We own you. There is no other 'own'.

    He is a progressive, through and through

    That is a lie, he is no more a progressive than you are a toilet filled with shit.
    He is a toady to the corporate-wealthy-powerfull-connected in this country and expects to hit the 'pay him back' circuit like Clinton did as soon as he is out of office.
    Just another corrupt dirt bag, but not a progressive.

    Good job, dude. I think your post single-handedly created an even bigger crock!
