All too true, Badtux, and Florida is a prime example of people electing more Republicans and expecting them to clean up the mess they created by doing the same things that caused the problems in the first place.
Fox News is not an authoritative source for anything, especially reality.

]]>Coincidentally, I have been thinking along similar lines. ๐ Great minds… etc! ๐
Curiously, I saw an extremely interesting UK program on our SBS yesterday, called ‘Catastrophe: Snowball Earth’ which explains how life was actually able to evolve on Earth at all, since the early Earth didn’t have a high enough oxygen concentration (it was about 1% then) to sustain multi-celled life! It too a MAJOR catastrophic event that lasted about 34 million years to do it. (and so much for the Creationist myths and lies). ๐ ๐
If you get a chance to watch it, it’s definitely worth it! It’s narrated by Tony Robinson (I know him best from the Black Adder comedy series, though he was also Vernon Crumley in the movie Hogfather.) ๐ ๐
The video’s are available online at CosmoLearning in five parts (Part 2 is Snowball Earth). ๐
Catastrophe (2008) – Part 1: Birth of the Planet
This is the primary scientific site that explains how knowledge of the event came about and gives (excruciating, yet fascinating) detail. ๐
Of course, the ignorant nutters won’t believe a word of it. And who cares? ๐
Enjoy, all you sane people with working brains! LMAO ๐

I hope the cockroaches discover a higher calling than humans have.
]]>Save the males! Theyโre shooting blanks
Here’s a question: Who’s more at fault? Those who actively cause these kinds of problem, or the majority who allow them to do it (whether through ignorance, apathy, or whatever)? ๐
Meeeahh!!
]]>Alexander Refuses To Condemn Palinโs Cross-Hairs Map, Urges Media Not To Talk About It
Ya know, there was definitely something to be said for the *good ol’ days* and old fashioned *justice* (a very foreign concept today apparently). And yeah, it wasn’t all good back then, but I’m waiting for someone to explain clearly and with proof that today is in fact much, if any, way better. (And yeah, I won’t hold my breath for that either!) ๐ I’m pretty sure that if I compiled two lists of what was wrong 150 years ago, and what is wrong now… the *now* list would be a hell of a lot longer! And just BTW… I mean comparing *actual facts* not what’s written or said! ๐
What’s causing the problem is the same as it always has been… people are causing the problem. And I don’t just mean the wealthy elites who are doing the screwing either. Everyone is part of the problem.
]]>Sunshine is the ultimate disinfectant. People need to know who is causing the problems. People need to be told who created the Tea Party. There is no spontaneous grassroots movement, only a PR campaign funded by obscenely wealthy whackoes.
]]>Couldn’t agree more!! (And I, and others, have been saying this for YEARS!) Hell, I’m only surprised it’s taken so long to happen. And I am certain that Rambo Palin was the catalyst! She’s the poster *girl* all these nutjobs (and you have many of them in the USA) get off on every night! And I’d bet a house Palin get’s off on the idea of that!!
The ONLY way this will change is when the sane people there hold these cowardly retards fully accountable! A few ropes and trees wouldn’t go astray IMHO, since there is no way you can count on the *law* to do anything meaningful! They will go after the trigger’s, not the *brains* behind the trigger! Same old…
Maybe now that an innocent child was murdered by an American terrorist on American soil (yeah, yeah.. *allegedly*), maybe… just, maybe people will wake up. I won’t hold my breath.
The only difference between these (admittedly self-confessed) Christian terrorists and Muslim terrorists, is that at least most of the Muslim terrorists do their own dirty work! They aren’t cowardly like these!
When I read things like this by Cole, I can’t help but think the score currently is: Christians 0, Muslims 1 in the peace, honor, and humanity stakes!
Egyptian Muslims Throng in Thousands to Protect Christians
And, just by-the-way… It’s not the first time Muslims have protected Christians in recent years, or even over the centuries!
I can’t imagine many, if any, Christians since Jesus doing that to protect Muslims! And Christians wonder why Christians are turning from Christianity to Islam! Gee… that’s such a tough one! Not.
And I’m not tho one who made this about Religion. The crazies that incited this terrorism are always spouting off about their vaunted *Christian Values*. Maybe any *real* Christians who don’t like being painted with the same brush, should do something about it. And I don’t mean with a gun. Denouncing these as false would be a great start! Christians need to go read their Bible again. Especially the Gospel of Mathew (The Sermon on the Mount, esp. The Beatitudes), and this time, try to comprehend it!
Beware of false prophets, who come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravenous wolves. You will know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes from thornbushes or figs from thistles? Even so, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, nor can a bad tree bear good fruit.
Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Therefore by their fruits you will know them.
Seems to me there are more and more of them every year. And they are masters at pulling the wool over the eyes of their flocks, and then fleecing them, without nary a *baaaa* from any of them!
And yeah, I know I am not supposed to be judgmental, supposed to forgive, etc, etc… but for many, they are only used as convenient excuses. I’m neither a hypocrite or a coward. I am what I am. *shrug*
