Audacity of Truth

Vice President Joe Biden had his “oops” moment Wednesday speaking in a 49er-crazed SF when he told a crowd at a city political fundraiser that “the Giants are on their way to the Super Bowl.” - SF Chronicle, 1-18-12
Weekend open thread and Friday funny
TGIF, ya’ll 
Question: Would you sign a petition to ban water? Apparently, some moonbats are, as a group of environmentalists who have joined together in an effort to ban the un-friendly substance … details here.
I swear, you can’t make this stuff up.

I remember an episode of Penn & Teller on environmentalism that had just that (banning h20) in it. Classic stuff.
Aha, I’ll click the link first next time.
Seriously, though, it’s a good show– so long as you don’t cringe at foul language.
I’m sure you’ve heard of the couple who had their 17th child.
Um. I would like to bring to all of you good people here the hate at DU
Yuck. Mental illness on display for sure….
ST, A new development on the Global Warming front.
This is an unbelievable find and reported by Yahoo even. 1) 50% of the earth’s warming is due to the way India heats and cooks
2) The soot and particulates do not reflect solar radiation as some have theorized with the global dimming theories but actually capture/trap heat.
I think I can go to sleep now with this find !
What was so instructive about that video is seeing that some people will sign anything. A petition to ban Di-Hydrogen Mon-Oxide; sure sounds like an evil food additive to me! California is a big referendum state, and I always wonder how many people help pass idiotic laws without one iota of research.
Yeah Tom TB, people who are prone to be greenies are remarkably credulous and gullible aren’t they? Oooh, the name sounds nasty and chemical like, and it probably is used a lot by big corporations, who we all know are eeeevil, so lets ban it! Never take the time to actually understand an issue before you form an opinion, it matters whether the cause makes us feeeel good. Idiots.
On the recent finding Bak points out, just remember that when it was pointed out to them that while CO2 was increasing due to the increased economic activity in the post WWII period, the climate cooled, the AGW crowd trumpeted that it was because of these same kinds of aerosols, the “reflected” sunlight and cooled the earth, and not that we’ve gotten greener and better at controlling such pollution it’s warming. Now we find out that aerosols warm the atmosphere, which makes that cooling while CO2 and aerosols were increasing even more of an inconvenient truth. Could it be, why, the sun? Could it be that CO2 has little effect?
There are plenty of good reasons to reduce the kind of pollution that makes “brown” clouds, such as local health and such, and the West has done this. That is a type of environmental protection that is logical and reasoned and needs to be done, but declaring CO2 a pollutant just because you hate capitalism is idiotic.
Just hating capitalism is idiotic, period.
Public Service Announcement -
Not to frighten anyone unneccessarily, but if you’re reading this on Saturday morning, you should be aware that there’s probably dihydrogen monoxide in your coffee cup!!!!
And all those hurricanes that Global Warming causes? You guessed it…research has found that every single one of them contains a large concentration of dihydrogen monoxide.
Two more little-publicized facts: gaseous dihydrogen monoxide has been known to cause sever burns. And biopsies of cancerous tissue invariably reveal large amounts of the same chemical.
This PSA brought to you by the Moronic Association of Dihydrogen Monoxide Abolition Nuts (MADMAN), Al Gore, president.
Yes, fellow citizens, it must be noted that almost all the drownings in human history involved that insidious chemical agent
iHydrogen MonOxide! (We could have fun with these moon-bats forever!)
Here, a hippie asserts that nanotechnology is just like genetic engineering, since they both use molecules.
I remember a classic line from that. He said “Is passion a proper substitute for common sense?”
Never, passion is not an acceptable substitute for knowledge or facts either. The passion approach leads to such things as “fake but accurate” and worse.
- My son, the Prince, raises flutterbys from egg’s, pupa, catapillers, whatever, that he finds on the neighboors lemon tree. Giant swallotails, painted ladies, ect. when they develope, and are ready he turns them free. Quite a sight.
- New subject, on an old theme.
- Based on everything I’ve read, written, and witnessed for the past 7+ years, and including the Clinton mess, I’m going on record here and now, and predicting the following….
- The Dems are falling for the volume of voices, and their holy graile, envagled polls (remember the PEW “exits”), rather than the strength of numbers, and favorable positiong with the vast majority of the electorate. The common trick of conflating public distaste with all wars by trying to afix that feeling to Iraq will only go so far. In the end it will be independent voters, just as it was in Conn., that will doom their Utopian dreams once again.
(A hi and a hug to Sistah, and all the other commenters here that know me, after being away for awhile. Patched up, and better than evah, ready to watch the Hildebeast go down to defeat in a blaze of Ill-Liberalism!)
- Big Bang Hunter –
BBH!! Welcome back! So good to see you posting again.
BANG!!! Great to see ya back again!! It’s been way too long!!
What the??? I feel like it’s yesterday with Bang posting…. Welcome !
- Big Bang thanks to Sistah and all you great people for the really nice welcome back –
‘s for ev1 
This is the funniest thing I’ve read all weekend.
Maybe these folks will learn some economics while they are at it !
BTW – Mark Noonan at Blogs for Bush is quoted in that Yahoo article
