Daily open thread

by Goldy — Friday, 6/2/06, 10:37 am

I don’t do nearly enough plugging of my fellow bloggers, despite my best intentions. So if you’re grasping for topics to crudely vilify each other over, take a look at what some of my favorite, neglected bloggers are writing:

  • Loaded Orygun would kinda be the HorseAss.org of our neighbor to the South, that is, if I were writing it, and I didn’t cover all that Oregon stuff. Carla and Torrid are two of the best local bloggers writing… hard-hitting, edgy and relentless.
  • Peace Tree Farm isn’t the most frequently updated blog in the region, but it’s one of the more thoughtful, and certainly one of the oldest. Check out N’s recent post on Bob Dylan’s birthday.
  • Pike Place Politics. On our weekly podcast I like to tease Will that I never read his blog, but of course I’m only joking. The truth is I sometimes read his blog. But not nearly enough. Will’s snide focus on very local politics is the type of stuff I might do if I had the time. Or interest.

There are a lot of other great local blogs that deserve more attention (check out my blog roll) and I’ll try to do a better job of plugging them in the future.

    Abramoff, Scanlon Still Singing Like Canaries

    Fingering Members of Congress is time-consuming work. And according to prosecutors, Jack Abramoff and Michael Scanlon just need a lot more time to give what they’ve got to give.

    Scanlon and Abramoff were both scheduled to meet with the judge on June 6th, at which time they might have set a sentencing date. But prosecutors have asked to put that off until September 6th, because they “anticipate that Mr. Abramoff’s cooperation will continue for the foreseeable future,” according to their motion yesterday.

    What’s more, Abramoff had been scheduled to hit the slammer on June 28th – that’s when his sentence for the SunCruz fraud was to begin. But prosecutors have asked to put that off for another 90 days.

    Uh oh! This has GOP asses at maximum pucker. Which crook will we catch next?

    That’s bullshit. Oil and mining companies pay peanuts to extract oil and minerals from public lands, in relation to the value of the oil and minerals.

    What legal basis? The government OWNS the land. What legal basis would YOU have to charge drillers for sinking an oil well on YOUR land? Well, the same principle applies, dumbass.

    MTR’s reply:
    “Also, you better go look a specific heat again you fucking idiot. One BTU raises one POUND of water a degree F, not a gallon you fucking moron. C’mon… remember who yer talkin to here.”

    Duhhhhh, OK Mark. Besides your incoherent sentence that I “better go look a specific heat again. . .” WTF? Are you totally lame? C’mon Mark, take the mathematical journey with me, take the journey. I asked “How many BTU’s does it take to raise 1 gallon of water 1 degree F.”

    Since 1 BTU will raise one pound water 1 degree F and one pound of water = 8.33 pounds, how many BTU’s will it take to raise 1 gallon of water 1 degree F? Can you solve for “x” RETARD? Hmmm. . . can you? Or do you need help from and adult?

    TRAVERSE CITY, Mich. — A man who stuffed a dead mouse into his Taco Bell burrito in a botched extortion attempt was sentenced Friday to 16 to 30 months in prison. GBS, 40, pleaded guilty last month to a felony count of attempted false pretenses between $1,000 and $20,000. Sheriff’s investigators said GBS complained to a restaurant employee in January that his burrito tasted “funny.”

The best part is, even though Americans tend to have a short memory, this will be with us right up to election day.

    With the Bush Republicans falling back to their stale, stale playbook of banning Gay marriage and flag burning to mobilize the base, it will prove they have NO NEW IDEAS.

    FUCK, you are too stupid. Was that word problem TOO much of a brain teaser for you? Hmmmm. . .too hard to solve? Or, did you do what most conservatives do; JUMP TO INCORRECT CONCLUSIONS!!

    Do you think I phrased that question for no FUCKING reason, ASSHOLE??

    The reason why I asked how many BTU’s are required to heat 1 gallon of water 1 degree is because I wanted you to figure out how many gallons of water there are in the fucking oceans of the world. Then, you could figure out how many BTU’s it would take to heat the oceans by 1 degree. A tremendous amount of energy would be required to do that. You idiot.

    Then, when you realize how many additional BTU’s are required to increase the ocean temps by just 1 degree F, you would be able to realize the Sun is not putting out that many additional BTU’s to heat the the oceans and the atmosphere. So the answer for rising temperatures lies elsewhere.

    So much for trying to have intellectual debate with you, RAKE FACE!

    You’re so fucking stupid you stepped on the rack before the rake was even set out for you. A new low in stupidity.

    Your lack of reading comprehension and inability to solve the most basic of word problems demonstrates you don’t have the moxie to get 4 college degrees, let alone your GED.

    Republican Jim Galley, who is running for Congress as a “pro-traditional family” candidate, was married to two women at the same time, defaulted on his child support payments and has been accused of abuse by one of his ex-wives….
    Galley married his second wife, Beth, in 1982 when, unbeknownst to her, he was still married to his first wife, Terry. Beth and Galley divorced in 1990 after she sought a restraining order alleging abuse.

He doesn’t seem to groc that his chi sqare fortress makes him seem even more ridiculous than he has before.

    OK there big fella, you kept pressing the Chi Squared test / analysis for debate. You claimed several times there is no evidence of global warming because the temperatures are within historical norms.

    So, describe how to lay out a Chi Squared test using the historical data of temperatures. Show us the details that proves your claim that temperatures are within historical norms.

    This will be interesting, Mark. It’s time to put up or shut up. Your claims, your model, your methodology. Back it up, punk.

    Just for the record. There’s no way you’ll accept this challenge. You’ll find a way to hem and haw and blow hot air, but never prove your allegations.

    But, if you do decide to step on to the field of rakes, please don’t cut and paste some fucking stupid answers from your favorite RNC talking point portal, be prepared to back up your findings with facts, figures, methodologies, associations etc.. I have lots of question prepared.

    OK, it’s time to find out if you’re an intelligent man or another lying fucking asshole republican.

    Mark the Redneck’s intellectual arrogance is rather remarkable in light of his inability to reason. I learned a long time ago, as the product of a good liberal arts education, that certainty is the enemy of reason. Intellectual certainty reflects a closed mind. Only the thinker who recognizes the value of doubt, who considers alternative explanations for phenomena, is a smart person. MTR adheres to a rigid ideology, and is unwaveringly certain of all his opinions. We know that ideology is the most dogged foe of rationality. So, MTR’s misplaced confidence in his ability to think is really quite amusing.

    No question about what you said regarding doubt. To take your point a step further and tie together the right wing hypocrisy take the Terri Schiavo case.

    When Bill Frist said Terri was responding to visual stimuli, which was total bullshit, the conservative mantra was we should “error on the side of life.”

    Why not error on the side of life when it comes to global warming? If they were willing to error on the side of life for one person, and all the UNBORN children, why not all of humanity?

    That’s the hypocrisy that defines conservatism.

  60. Mark The Redneck Kennedy spews:

    58 – wait a minute… then what DID you mean? YOu said:

    Then, when you realize how many additional BTU’s are required to increase the ocean temps by just 1 degree F, you would be able to realize the Sun is not putting out that many additional BTU’s to heat the the oceans and the atmosphere. So the answer for rising temperatures lies elsewhere.

    Sure sounds to me like you’re saying that the sun can’t heat the oceans. Otherwise the statement about “lies elswhere” wouldn’t make any sense.

    You guys are making the claim. YOU gotta back it up. You can’t can you.

    And don’t weasel out of my questions:

    1) Since you changed the argument to rate of change, do you agree that current temps are well within normal range.

    2) Do you think the sun can’t warm the oceans.

    No FUCK HEAD you’re not the one asking questions here. YOU are the one who specifically asked if we used a Chi Squared analysis to determine if there is any science to prove temperatures are outside of historical norms.

    You stated numerous times that the temperatures were in fact NOT outside of historical norms.

    I’m asking you to simply demonstrate your knowledge of Chi Squared tests. You’re afraid to do prove your knowledge now because you know you’re caught in the open, no cover, no where to run and no where to hide.

    IF, you tried to explain the Chi Squared test you’ll get caught BULLSHITTING.

    Your reference to “adherence to proven principles” demonstrates your weak reasoning ability. What the hell is “proven”? GBS at 57: You are exactly right. If the question of global warming is up in the air, isn’t it most rational to assume global warming is occurring because of human activity and try to curb such activity? If we’re wrong, no harm occurs. If our default position is to say let’s keep doing what we’re doing until we have more solid proof, we’ve caused irreparable harm in the meantime. Neocons don’t give a shit about the future, though, as we know.

    How To Steal Elections the Democrat Way….

    June 3, 2006
    If an election can turn on a sentence, this could be the one: “You don’t need papers for voting.”
    On Thursday night, Francine Busby, the Democratic candidate for the 50th Congressional District, was speaking before a largely Latino crowd in Escondido when she uttered those words. She said yesterday she simply misspoke.
    But someone taped it and a recording began circulating yesterday. After she made that statement at the meeting, Busby immediately said: “You don’t need to be a registered voter to help (the campaign).”
    She said that subsequent statement was to clarify what she meant.
    The recording, which was played yesterday on Roger Hedgecock’s radio talk show, jolted the campaign.
