Whip Around
Check those paychecks ladies: CARPE DIEM
Christina Sommers in today's NY Times on the proposed "Paycheck Fairness Bill," which would make it easier for women to file class-action, punitive-damages suits against employers they accuse of sex-based pay discrimination. Q: Now that young, childless, single women earn 8 percent more than their male counterparts in large metro areas (21% more in Atlanta), couldn't men also file class-action lawsuits if this bill passes?
When what we eat, drink, drive, say, do for a living, how much money we make and where we live is dictated by our government, those who were dedicated liberal voters will grit their teeth because they're too arrogant to ever admit they were wrong. When pockets of the stunned, deluded variety of liberal voters finally put down their bongs and declare "Hey, man – you can't, like, do this to us! We have rights …" – they're going to catch a bullet in the head.
Yeah, Right. Cleveland Police: Accepting handgun registration applications

File Under: "Books Written by the Brain Dead:" Retired NORAD Officer's New Book Predicts a Tentative Worldwide UFO Display on October 13, 2010
A newly-published book by a retired NORAD officer predicts October 13, 2010 as the tentative date for a fleet of extraterrestrial vehicles to hover for hours over the earth's principal cities. Author says the event to be the first in a series intended to avert a planetary catastrophe resulting from increasing levels of carbon-dioxide in the earth's atmosphere dangerously approaching a "critical mass."Global Warming. Is there anything it can't do?

Your Say
What an utter crock. If aliens were observing Earth from their home planet, they would be several light years away. Even if they had telescopes good enough to do an analysis of our atmosphere, how would they even detect carbon dioxide? It is only 0.03% of the atmosphere - essentially a trace gas.
If we assume that they cannot travel faster than light, or even anything approaching the speed of light, their journey here would take at least decades. So any measurements they took would be from fifty or sixty years (more likely hundreds of years)ago. Since the threat of global warming didn't start until 30 years or so ago, how would they know to come rescue us?

Isn't that the point of this collage of imbecilities? It's Ridicule, nicely compiled for more convenient mocking.

Before MP3 were so easy to come by, and while i drove a long-haul truck all over the country, I listened to the only thing on AM radio overnight "Coast to Coast with Art Bell".
That experience was the best study in conspiracy kooks I could ever imagine. It was easier for me to learn the schemes and psychology of the kooks with less emotional topics than the "truthers" or something more important than little green men and Old Navy's part in the global UFO conspiracy.
A thorough understanding of conspiracy theory psychology is also excellent training for dealing with liberals and neo-marxists.
Kooks are losers that need some idea to explain why they are the losers and we seem to be successful. The details of the conspiracy are disposable, any kook will abandon his lifelong pet conspiracy detail in an instant, if necessary, to preserve the belief in the conspiracy. Kooks will not seriously challenge any other kook, even if they have contradictory theories about the same event. Usually they will combine their theories into a super theory or change the subject.

Bravo, Mr G. Half a dozen flash topics to stir the Alexa pot
during your sabbatical -- comments should hit at least 60 - 70 :)
I'll play, let's see,
"single women earn 8 percent more than their male counterparts
in large metro areas (21% more in Atlanta)"
Well, since Atlanta (and Fulton County) essentially became an
African People's Republic with the election of Hizzoner
Maynard Jackson in 1973, might there be sinister cultural influences at work?
Where is Ray Nagin, now that we need him?
Gird your Leuns, Jewel, pitchforks forward!

"Staying far away from the Mythical Cultural Swamp of Atlanta"
Yuss, moved to the Blue Ridge myself. Much safer, fresh air, and great fishing & hiking.
Speaking of swamps... I used to raft the beautiful Chattahoochee River in my yoot, until it became the Chocolate River south of the 'Big A', due to several thousand tons/day of raw sewage. A billion (with a B) federal bucks were fronted to the local 'administration' for a fix.
Ten years later, the Tar River.
Question: Huh??
Answer: What billion bucks?
Sigh. The beat goes on.
