Media Matters reports that on a recent broadcast, blabber mouth and drug abuser, Rush Limbaugh, stated the Democrats,
“…have reformatted the bill — they’ve made it a PDF file when they posted it. Now, for those of you that don’t use computers, basically what that means is that it cannot be keyword searched. A PDF file is essentially a picture of a page. And, so, you can read every page, but you cannot keyword search it. It’s not a text file as legislation normally is as posted on these public websites. They don’t want anybody knowing what’s in this; they want it happening as fast as possible so nobody can know what’s in it.
As Media Matters shows, one can search the PDF file by clicking on a button named SEARCH, and alternatively, by navigating to EDIT>FIND. Crazy!
I submit, as another alternative, one can discover what’s in the bill by reading it. Glide your vision, using your eyeballs, left to right across the line. When you get to the end, scan back to the left, drop down a line and repeat. If your oxycodone abuse is causing dimness in your vision due to miosis, turn on an extra lamp.
Does anyone else see the irony in the fact that Muzzammil Hassan, a Muslim business man living outside Buffalo, NY, who created a TV Network aimed at combating stereotypes of Muslim people, beheaded his wife in an honor killing after being served divorce papers?
What stereotypes was his network created to fight again? I can see Hassan releasing a press statement to the effect of, “People, please, please. Islam is not a bronze age collection of violent customs, some of which designed to control the sexual behavior of women. I’m just a violent monster who killed his wife over his hurt feelings. This honor killing has nothing to do with Islam or the Muslim people. Please stop stereotyping us.”
Ed Brayton has a post where he includes a video showing Newt Gingrich speaking on “protecting marriage.”
He doesn’t want same sex couples to marry. He wants only straight people to be able to marry, cheat on their spouses, hand divorce papers to a spouse while they are recovering from cancer surgery, remarry, cheat on 2nd spouse, marry a 3rd time. Or something like that.
From Brayton:
Newt, if you want to protect marriage, stop getting married. At the very last, stop cheating on every wife you have.
This is hilarious. Ari Rahikkala has a brilliant entry on Live Journal that is a parody of the main creationists arguments using the Theory of Childhood in place of the Theory of Evolution.
Lack of transitional forms: Check
Teach the controversy: Check
Use of “evil”: Check
Awesome!
The theory of childhood, also known as child origin, is a damnable, loathsome and indefensible lie. How can any thinking person suppose all humans used to be babies once?
There is no development path from babies to adults, no transitional forms between these two species. Show me even one baby with the head of a grown man on his body. Can you? No? Not even a bearded toddler? No adults with unfused skullbones, outside unfortunate disorders? Not even a tiny little newborn girl suddenly sprouting a respectable bosom? You can’t find them, because they don’t exist. There isn’t a single transitional form between children and adults, and you will never find one because the theory simply is an unscientific lie.
The development of children has been well-researched in our six-month study following a sample of one thousand children and adults of various ages. We have conclusively proven that while there are minor changes in features like height and body fat, and replacement of deciduous teeth with permanent teeth, incontravertibly still every creature in the study that started out as a child had only slightly more adult features at the end of the observation period than at its beginning. Children and adults are separate kinds and there will never be sufficient changes to change one into the other. We reject any evidence from longer-term studies as we believe the laws of physics have changed within the last year.
To claim people come from children is demeaning and morally degrading. We have observed how children behave. If we acted like small children we’d all be demanding and impatient, and we’d be cheating, lying, and stealing from each other all the time. If the theory of childhood were true there would be no morality, and with no morality to build one on, no society. Childhood is a wicked lie used by charlatans to justify evils such as public schools.
There is no consensus on the theory of childhood in the scientific community. We should teach the controversy. Our children will be served well to learn that the prospect of them becoming adults is merely a theoretical idea. Many children come from families that do not subscribe to the theory of childhood, and they could be disturbed if the theory were taught as fact.
You may have heard that Stuart Shepard, from Focus On Family, asked his peeps to pray for rain on the day of the DNC. He wanted god or jeebus or whomever to rain out Obama’s speech because Stu Stu doesn’t like our next Presidents stand on abortion and gay marriage.
Welp, great job godboy. You did get a little rain. The Fox News skybox in Denver was flooded by the sprinkler system. Awesome!
And as if that wasn’t enough, Climate Progress reports a major hurricane may be heading to New Orleans just in time for the repub convention. Your god sure does work in mysterious ways, asshole.
