1. So, I was watching a show called Kings the other night (Sunday, I think). And I'm sitting there thinking that this is really brilliant - genius, top-notch stuff, but the plot seems oddly familiar. Now, this isn't unusual, since every TV show steals from every other TV show (sitcoms all steal from I Love Lucy and The Honeymooners). And then I get it. The hero is named David Shepherd - motherfucker! These guys ripped off the fucking bible. Anyone can have a hit when God writes the script. My next thought: why didn't I think of that?

2. Will someone please recirculate that memo. Seriously, MichaelRyerson - what part of "Don't feed the trolls" didn't you understand?

3. The debate I was organizing got a little derailed when one of our judges got banned. If anyone is still interested, I'll get it going again.

4. There is no 4.

5. Natural selection: there is no controversy. The only controversy is among people who don't understand it. Simply put, all species (including humans) normally have more offspring than can survive to reproduce themselves - this is demonstrably true. Natural selection is simply a metaphor for the various ways in which they fail to reproduce. The theory of evolution by natural selection merely hypthosizes that, given enough time, natural variations in the population will diverge enough to produce new species.

6. Watched an HBO documentary call Death on a Factory Farm last night. Nasty. That is no way to treat a pig or to produce quality food.

Found:Schadenfreude:nutcase of the hour. Award won for tossing a flaming piece of bait while berating Michael Ryerson for doing the same thing. NutcaseDetected:Schadenfreude.

...when you state something so matter-of-factly, people will call you arrogant or intolerant. Even when you're dealing with plain facts. Here's a little something for you:

Enjoy.

Most adherents to evolution manage to convince themselves

that it provides a "scientific" explanation for the existence of

the Cosmos and life forms without "needing" a god. But basic

science clearly shows the Cosmos cannot be explained in

the absence of God. The 1st Law of Thermodynamics requires

that matter be here forever, but the 2nd Law clearly

states that it cannot have been. Therefore, evolution tends to

attract people who's intellect is sub-par, or who can say with

a straight face, "Damn the science, full speed ahead!"

Which sort of covers the other items.

Ding-a-ling!

There is some irony in that remark, given what they're doing to the laws of thermodynamics to make their argument -- and that creationist adherents swallow it.

that caused the author to include that extraneous apostrophe. Entropy made me do it!

downrated based strictly on that self-aware, "aren't I clever," bad writing schtick of yours: "there is no number ____." Very cringeworthy.

Hi Schmutizie.

...well, it's not.

I have no doubt you might have formulated such a thought, if you'd put your mind to it. Sunday, yes. Couldn't wrap my head around all the opulence. Love that guy from Deadwood, though. I watch Celebrity Apprentice. Yeah, yeah, but where else can you watch Dennis Rodman break stuff, threaten people (Clint Black, the old C&W singer), and have an alcohol intervention by the other celebrities? (Coming next Sunday!)

2. Will someone please recirculate that memo. Seriously, MichaelRyerson - what part of "Don't feed the trolls" didn't you understand?

I did my part, much as I ought never to have had to. I'd hoped once would be enough this go around. Detox is a bitch.

3. The debate I was organizing got a little derailed when one of our judges got banned. If anyone is still interested, I'll get it going again.

As a voyeur, I look forward to it. What's the subject?

4. There is no 4.

There is no four in Korean architecture. Co-incidence?

5. Natural selection: there is no controversy. The only controversy is among people who don't understand it.

The theory of evolution by natural selection merely hypthosizes that, given enough time, natural variations in the population will diverge enough to produce new species.

The difference is, the human species will spend a gazillion dollars trying to save the life of a fourth or fifth born infant... those with healhcare, anyway.

Simple solution: Buy co-op. Always and all ways.

I agree. smutty and art think you are me and I am posting on 4 computers at once. Holy shit but the peanut gallery is out to lunch. How whacked are they?

letting those miseducated fuckers burn us at the stake anymore, don't it?

very whacked and whacking off, most likely.
