Critical thinking can be a dangerous thing
… if you’re an evangelical, at least. Had to laugh at this one from NPR: Evangelicals Question the Existence of Adam and Eve:
But now some conservative scholars are saying publicly that they can no longer believe the Genesis account. Asked how likely it is that we all descended from Adam and Eve, Dennis Venema, a biologist at Trinity Western University, replies: “That would be against all the genomic evidence that we’ve assembled over the last 20 years, so not likely at all.”
Ruh-oh. I’m trying to find headline that says “Astronomers Question Veracity of Earth’s Orbit Around Sun”, but I can’t seem to find any.
This looks like a fun movie
Kevin Smith’s newest…
Sure would be funny to see Jay and Silent Bob in one of those cages for a few minutes.
Santorum might have another Google problem
Teatard Poetry
Now I think I know where the guy who designed those horrendous Tim Pawlenty action-film trailer commercials got his inspiration from.. from the comments at American “Thinker”:
The forests will sing, the oceans will cry
The eagles will soar through every sky
Using the Constitution, the tyrants we will assail
The Tea Party’s battle-call will wail
Taking Washington with flag in hand
Claiming back our rights and our cherished land
So one day, everyone will share
The hidden words, of Reagan’s Prayer…
I’d never heard of that rag before… to give you an idea of what kind of alleged “thinking” goes on there, consider this bit from the article that the above literary masterpiece was a comment on:
It’s time for conservatives to face the truth: there is no conservative party in the United States. There is a leftist party, and a slightly-less-leftist party.
Uh-huh. And according to that same article, the “leftists” are kicking the right’s ass. M’okay. Sign me up for that parallel universe, wherever it it, as it’s infinitely better that the one I’m living in now, where mouthbreathers rule the day.

As seen in my news reader this morning
It’s a blockbuster!
Sarah Failin’s new fictional documentary, “Undefeated” (a funny name, considering how she lost in 2008), is mopping up the box office, grossing a whopping $75,000 dollars on it’s opening weekend. Perhaps it would have done better if it was a cartoon. From TP:
The Wrap, a website that covers Hollywood, confirmed Time’s numbers, reporting that the movie “got off to a soft start… grossing somewhere between $65,000-$75,000, according to estimates confirmed by distributor ARC Entertainment.”
By way of comparison, the biopic “Joan Rivers: A Piece of Work” opened on seven screens last year and averaged $23,479 per theater.
Joan Rivers, who is almost, if not more annoying than Palin, did better. The fact that in 2012 that anyone would go see a movie with Joan Rivers is baffling enough, but that monstrosity still beat Palin. Of course, FOX News is saying theaters are “packed” for it, so perhaps there’s some other definition of “packed” out there that I’m unaware of. Or, perhaps they meant to say “other movies in the theaters where this film was showing were packed”, or perhaps “the theater exits were packed”. Must be a typo, as FOX would never make stuff up.
Please, run already, Sarah, so you can be undefeated yet again, and hopefully the mouthbreathers that still pay attention to your white-trash-reality-freakshow life might even begin to tire of you.
Yeah, that’ll work. Mmm-hmm.
Apparently there’s a big heatwave scorching the nether-regions of the nation right now. Oklahoma, which seems to be the state with god as the solution to everything has come up with yet another sure-fire winner as to how to end the drought:
CBS News correspondent Cynthia Bowers reports that it’s been so hot for so long in Oklahoma, the governor called for a statewide day of prayer in hope of some divine intervention
“I think if we have a lot of people praying, it moves the heart of God,” Gov. Mary Fallin says.
I’m wondering if it moves the bowels of god. or perhaps just the earwax of god. It hasn’t really dawned on these dunces yet that most of the worst weather that we’ve seen this past year happens in the most religious parts of the nation. Perhaps he’s telling them to stop asking them to be such dumbasses all of the time. It’s really embarrassing to have to share the nation with people that think like this.
Best quote of the day
… from Harry Reid…
“I’ve been to a few courthouses,” Reid said. “Any time around here with the new ‘Tea Party philosophy’ they seem to think they have an all-knowing wisdom about the Constitution, so in short that’s a bunch of garbage.”
True dat…
