Re: Sarah Palin Book Signing: Interviews with Supporters
So that's pretty much why she was nominated as VP in the first place. They were reaching for that demographic that would only look at her smile, her 1950's work-at-home-mom hairstyle, and her gee-golly-gosh way of speaking (not the words mind you, just the tone).

Re: Bishop Tobin on Chris Matthews Hardball
No one "encourages abortion." That's just stupid.

More importantly, can you tell us how to do it in Top Gun for Nintendo? I could never get that damned thing.

I liked that "creepy uncle" happy birthday the girl in the middle gave. That was a winner.

So they're saying that car is what happens when you combine space and fox?
No.
No.

Re: Should Women Be Punished for Having Abortions?
I don't recall where I read or heard it (probably on another link here) but the phrase "what something will become is irrelevant. For the first few months, it's nothing but a clump of cells."
Why do people draw the line at where sperm meets egg? Does a magical soul dance into those two cell zygotes at that moment and now it's human? At that point all the rest of the cells in my body are equally complex. Even up to the 1st trimester the fetus isn't that much different from most animal fetus. Hell, it still has a tail! You're more likely to step on something more sentient on the way to your protest.

Re: UFOs: The Secret Evidence
To continue on, again paraphrasing:
"If you're calling something unidentified, you can't then say it's aliens, because that would be identifying it."

Re: Science of Scams: Ouija Board Revealed!
That wasn't really "extraordinary" Mr. Brown.
Typically, when something happens and a person doesn't understand it, they're most likely to attribute it to whatever belief they're most vested in at the time.

Re: Daily Show: For Fox Sake!
Really. Obama is elected president and then you have to write a song for the Black History month song: who are you going to put in the song? "Well I'd put Obama, someone who is most likely going to be an important historical figure in the future... but I really gotta make sure I get the peanut butter guy in here."

Re: The Truth According to Wikipedia
There certainly is something to say about the benefits of meritocracy as far as information goes, but that angry guy seems to be against all forms of self-expression on the internet.
I mean hell, look at his plain t-shirt. Yawn.

I think if I ever saw Chris Hansen approaching me on the street I'd start running for my life.

Re: Science and Islam
Not to be slanted against this video per say, but I don't like it when someone tries to argue that X wouldn't exist if Y didn't invent Z. As if no one else could have ever possibly conceived it.

Re: TEDtalks: Brian Greene, String Theory
I question his claim that if you adjust any of the constants in our universe even slightly we wouldn't exist at all. I've heard compelling arguments to the contrary. I've seen papers on how some of the fundamental forces can be removed entirely and we wouldn't observe any significant changes.
