While I can see the reasoning behind it, I don’t like comparing Bush to a chimp. Chimps are intelligent creatures, capable of acquiring a Kindergarten level of education, after all, and seem to care about their fellow chimps.
But monkeyboy’s got a bad case of the stupids.
In his ridiculous interview with Brian Williams he made the […]

Not only is Rumsfeld being creamed by pretty much everyone, but I’ve decided I want to have Keith Olbermann’s babies.
Here’s just a little of what he’s said about Rummy’s latest case of logorrhea:
[I]t did not merely serve to impugn the morality or intelligence — indeed, the loyalty — of the majority of Americans who […]
This is truly transcendently stupid. The Daily Mail, among quite a few other sources, is reporting that the Vatican — possibly in an early run to begin apologism for its current Pope’s history — has gone on record as saying that Hitler and Stalin were possessed by the Devil, which is why they were such […]
Between Geico and Liberty Mutual, I’m about ready to damn the entire insurance industry.
Geico’s ads are annoying at best, but the recent cluster that has celebrity “interpreters” for Ordinary Folk are a record low for a company that introduced me to the Legendary Shack Shakers just a couple years ago. (The lizard being given an […]
Donald Rumsfeld is an idiot.
I don’t really need to go into a long presentaton of facts to support that assertion; we can begin with the debacle in Iraq — which, yes, is Bush’s fault but Rummy shares quite a lot of the blame — and end with Rumsfeld’s most recent comments regarding … well, at […]
It would seem that Bush doesn’t get it — the NY Times (and many others) reports that he went to New Orleans to wax historic about Helping Rebuid:
“I have returned to make it clear to people that I understand we’re marking the first anniversary of the storm,’’ he said, “but this anniversary is not an […]
So now, on the heels of the news that John Karr is (surprise!) not linked to the Ramsey debacle, we learn Warren Jeffs has been caught.
Jeffs faces charges in Mohave County including being an accessory to rape and child abuse; he’s the “leader” of the fLDS cult in the part of Arizona north of the […]
While it’s not news that a lot of air passengers are nervous these days around “swarthy” types, it’s getting bad when hysterical 12-year-old girls are capable of preventing them from traveling.
The Washington Post reports that, amid various manifestations of brainlessness, some traveling students got into a scrape when a
12-year-old girl started crying and pointing at […]
It’s not Just the Dust that’s Toxic
Published by August 25th, 2006 in General Foolishness. 0 CommentsThis is a little creepy. The NY Times reports that a store near the former WTC, whose wares became coated with dust from the fallen towers, got transformed into a kind of shrine by visitors, tourists and even rescue workers.
The “shrine” has now been put on permanent display at the NY Historical Society. The exhibit […]
This via Huffington. A CNN poll seems to have found an interesting trend in American thinking. According to the results, about 54% of Americans thnk it’s either “very” or “somewhat” likely that an act of terrorism will occur in the US in the next few weeks — despite the fact that it’s been half a […]
Alabama’s on the fast track backward (I’ve been somewhat following this account through another blog site, Pam’s House Blend) — seems Patricia Todd, a woman who recently won a primary there for state legislature, won’t be permitted to proceed because of alleged campaign irregularities. Irregularities that actually may not be illegal under Alabama law, and […]
There are two interesting developments on the disease front, it seems — and my love affair with Seed continues.
First is the news that right-wing conservatism might actually be due to a disease*.
According to USGS researcher Kevin Lafferty, personality traits such as
[P]reference for strict laws, an expression of uncertainty avoidance, and [a society’s] valuation of […]
