Posted on 03/02/11 at 02:43 pm in response to Walker's Wisconsin budget cuts as deep as imagined

Isn't it just amazing and incomprehensible that someone who was once an eagle scout, and still shows signs of personal discipline (i.e. reports of Walker brown bagging his lunch to work) could still be a Koch puppet?

Thank you for highlighting the paragraphs' themes and topics. It felt great skipping all that garbage about the NFL, and the Vikings. I went straight to the paragraph about Arne Carlson's comments on what's happening in Wisconsin.

Thank you for enabling me to separate the chaff from the grain!

"The still-unanswered question, of course, is whether that increased activity poses any health risks."
_______________________________________________

Ummm ... actually, there are here more unanswered questions than not.

- Could "non-cell-phone-users" be also affected due to their proximity to users?
- Is there any danger to the brain from texting and twitting? Is there danger from proximity to twitters?
- Shouldn't politicians who use cell phones and twit a...

Posted on 02/21/11 at 02:33 pm in response to Tax code is 'a weapon of mass destruction,' says Bachmann

Are Republicans back at it again, using the term "weapon[s] of mass destruction"??

Don't they know that their credibility is shot to hell as soon as they utter that phrase in connection with anything?!

"decrepit welfare states of the European Union ..."
-----------------------------------------------

Yes, and when the people of one of these countries (e.g. France) is upset with their government, they take to the streets and demonstrate. Wisconsin is doing that now. I wonder if it has gone decrepit too!

@#4 -"And the fact that he has never done anything of any verifiable nature related to business, the military, management, finance, or hell, even held a regular job. Ever."
----------------------------------------------
Ahem ... I suppose GWB accomplished all of these things before he became President. And with all that going for him, how come he left a lot in shambles?

... And why did the nation not trust another "entitled" old gentleman to take over from GWB? Instead...

"Bachmann mum on Obama's heritage ..."

----------------------------------------------

Ms. Bachmann might be a Kenny Rogers fan. I wonder, though, if she is holding, folding, walking away, or running away!

Posted on 02/15/11 at 04:50 pm in response to Picking science that fits politics: Rep. Mike Beard on climate change

Well, and so this age-old pickle of humans continues ....

On the one hand, you have "faith" in the supernatural based really on consensus (a "holy" book) and requiring no proof. Degrees or resumes of those who make postulates here are not required or demanded.

Then on the other hand, you have the other thing, "science", which admits to doubts and only accepts consensus-based conclusions from research done over lengthy periods of time.

The faithers have forever hounded...

Posted on 02/15/11 at 02:32 am in response to Picking science that fits politics: Rep. Mike Beard on climate change

Apparently, Rep. Mike Beard is in the same camp as U.S. Congressman John Shimkus. It does not really bother me that they believe they have the science to back up their claims of environmental shangri-la. What is disconcerting is when they drag God into the mix. It makes one wonder: Would they also say that God had a hand in a drought that results in famine ... that results in the excruciating deaths of the poor and helpless?

Politics is bad enough by itself. And if religion is mixed...

@#6 - "All the Minnesota nice has been drained from his body.."

It happened almost a decade ago when one Dick Cheney became his (and Norm Coleman's) patron demon!
