Overblown

You know, I’ve had op-eds rejected by newspaper editors. And while I may have vociferously disagreed with the reason(s) for the rejections, I’ve never whined that such refusals signify a vast conspiracy to silence me on behalf of an opposing ideology.

John McCain and the right-wing blogger freakshow supporting him need to grow the fuck up.


He keeps using that word…*

I don’t think “time horizon” means what Bush thinks it means:

A time horizon, also known as a planning horizon, is a fixed point of time in the future at which point certain processes will be evaluated or assumed to end.

Meanwhile…

Neal Boortz cites an Austin Hill piece over at America’s Second-Shittiest Website™ in order to channel the Doughy Pantload on the possibility of an Obama defeat in November.

Yeah. It’s that bad.

I was on my way into work this morning, and I heard KLBJ recycling a month-old “Morning Update” from Pillz-E:

But don’t let that happy science talk fool you. Critics warn that turning this thing on might lead to an Armageddon-type disaster! The collider could spawn a black hole, which would swallow up the whole Earf. Poof! We’re gone. Or it could release particles that could melt the planet and us, of course, right along with it.

The collider-science guys dismiss these predictions but [the “doomsday” predictions are] not being made by your run-of-the-mill kooks. One critic, Walter L. Wagner, a lawyer and a physicist, has filed a lawsuit here in the States to stop this thing before it’s too late. He says there’s a “significant risk” that there might be “unintended consequences which could ultimately result in the destruction of our planet.”

Yep. You heard him correctly, folks. Never mind the professional scientists, people who actually know what the hell they’re talking about, they’re a bunch of incompetent boobs who will kill us all! I guess Limbaugh would have a natural home with the anti-vaccination kooks. Maybe he can join the Savage Weiner in smacking around autistic children.
