And how it, with the help of the ACLU, will probably get more US forces killed.
Outside the puzzle palace, I’m told that commands are girding for any upswing in violence should additional images come out. They completely understand what is likely to be the 2d and 3d order effects and are properly preparing. Our troops are not stupid. They’ll be ready.
I thought Miss California didn’t do such a great job at answering the gay marriage question, but then the bar is kind of low in an event that requires bikinis and high heels. Her answer was, at least, civil.
And the breast implants? Who cares? She’s competing in a bikini and high heels. Like we expect Berkeley “earth mother” types with hairy armpits and floppy boobs to show up there? (Their answers would be even dumber, I hazard.)
But look at these two boobs:
Yes, I realized that by posting that video on this blog, which occasionally has more than 80 readers per day, I have doubled Keith Olbermann’s audience.
Sue me.
Watch his face squirm before he answers the first question in the first video on this page.
Even the Newt Gingrich video is worth watching.
Christopher Hitchens, who not only doesn’t own a gun but doesn’t want to, gets it.
As I argue in my book ‘A Brief History of Crime’, it’s the great gulf between police and public over how the law should be enforced that lies behind two important features of modern Britain. The frequent arrests of people for defending themselves or their property are not accidents or quirks. They are the consequence of the Criminal Justice system’s abandonment of old-fashioned ideas of punishment; also of that system’s social democratic belief that crime has ‘social’ causes and the ownership of property isn’t absolute. Most law-abiding people don’t really accept this. They think criminals do bad things because they lack conscience or restraint, not because they were abused as children or their dole payments are too small. And they don’t see why they have to barricade their houses or hide their worldly goods from view on the assumption that some unrestrained low-life is otherwise bound to steal them. So they regard it as legitimate to hurt and punish those who rob them or otherwise attack them. If they were allowed to enforce the law as they see it, they would quickly show the police and courts up as useless and mistaken. One of the most important jobs of the police is to stop us looking after ourselves, in case we do a better job than PC Plod.
Guns simply take this to a higher level
If creationists don’t like to admit that we’re apes, they’re really not going to like this. Fascinating story, though. Be sure to check out the illustrated steps.
However, sponges seem unlikely ancestors. They are little more than a loose assemblage of cells that lack the true tissues and organs found in higher animals. Plus their structure – a porous mass of interconnected water channels – is nothing like that of any other animal. As a result, most zoologists tend to put sponges on a side branch of the animal tree, an abortive experiment that led nowhere. That’s what makes Kevin Peterson’s results so thought-provoking.
