I was piddling around with my WordPress dashboard, attending to thousands of things, when – suddenly! – it happened. I felt the need to snark.
Now those are some serious press-on nails. Someday I will reveal why this photo is here. I know I stole it from Snurfy.com for a good reason…I just happen to have (ahem) mislaid the reason right at this moment.
Anyway, I was gonna snark me some Science!, but a cursory scan through the usual places yielded so much bogus Climate Change/ Global Warming excretion (of a particularly noisome variety) that it plum threw me off my Snark. I hate it when that happens.
Now I remember why I stopped snarking Science. Oh, yeah!
I got so fucking fed up with Global Warming is gonna do this, and Global Warming is gonna do that, that I simply got sick and tired of it all.
And now I’m all fed up again. I’m sorry, but those AGW/ACC articles – all written with the same infantile caveats in them that the journalists hope we’ll miss or ignore, or are too stupid to notice – simply drive me batshit. It’s gotten to the point that I utterly despise that writing style, and is beginning to manifest itself as an inappropriate hatred of the trade – journalism. It reminds me of Nazi propaganda in WW2.
Grrrr…….
So I found another photo of my Uncle Fred and his mysterious feet.
Before they lynched him, Uncle Fred had never been … defeated!

I think that guy with the horns was what Michael Jackson was going for before he melted his face entirely.
As for the lack of science to snark–it’s out there. Granted, hearing the same debunked AGW lies presented as unassailable over and over is enervating. But, to paraphrase Notorious, “We are invigorated by the enormity of their stupidity.”

Groan. Should be de-feeted.
What can I say? It’s low hanging fruit.
If I understand, you’re a global warmening denier, McGoo. You’ll be on the list. See ya at the re-education camp. If I get there first I’ll save ya a place.

Just noticed the Mike Nelson quote, awesome. I used to wake up at 6 a.m. to watch reruns of that show in high school–that’s high school, drugs, women, general insanity–great show.

Hell, CB, I just swapped the Mike Nelson quote earlier this evening! Sharp eyes.
Gnus, when I found that feet photo over on leenks.com, I snatched it sooooo fast….
CB – I assume when you wrote “enervating” you meant “nauseating”.

McGoo, this oughta make ya feel better.
…attempting to disguise publicity as objective reporting…
Who knew?

Say, that blockquote thingie looks right nice there. That’s this week’s new HTML learning for me.
July 8, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Spread the joy, Gnus! Tell me how you did that so I can be smugly enthusiastic, too! Wait! I can “edit” your comment and see the codes.
Never mind….
Fucking propaganda! I knew it! God-damned NSF! I never did trust those bleeding heart, whale-saving asshats!
If god had wanted whales to be saved, he’d have made them bite-sized so the japs could pick them up conveniently with chopsticks!
Typical: the liberals complain about Bush “politicizing” science (which he didn’t) while they do it wholesale!
Liberals have no morals or ethics or integrity. Those words have no meaning in a liberal vernacular.

Ah-ha! You snuck in some italics with the blockquote thingy, you cunning Gnus, you!
Now I will use it with impunity. And with italics, too! Pbbbbt!

I really have no reason to be happy today.
I was out mowing the folks lawn arcoss the way when – suddenly! – the mower deck stopped mowing.
Long story short, the belt slipped off because an idler wheel bracket was bent. Half-sheared off, actually. It appears that the part was mis-manufactured, or improperly heat-treated after punching and bending. The crack in it had rust in it, so it’s been that way for a while.
Anyway, John Deere says its under warranty and the new part will be here tomorrow.
