You folks are going to LOVE this one. On Mitt’s “joke” that he doesn’t know why airplane windows don’t open and how that’s a big problem when there’s an electrical fire in the cabin, Linus Torvalds — Linux’s progenitor and Grand Poobah — had a few words to say on Google+. He really seems to …

Now if only mainstream media would pick up on the fact that basically nobody likes the guy… ah. A boy can dream.

Maddow: Paul Ryan Pals Around with Right-Wing Terrorists
Hey, remember the whole “palling around with terrorists” argument, about Bill Ayers? Yeah, it was misdirection. Rachel Maddow has to do a lot of framing — over ten minutes — to give the scope of this issue before getting to the “punchline”, being Paul Ryan’s latest nonsense and the Right Wing Conspiracy Theorists’ latest outrages. …

Our local canadate
![Your Canadate [Local Politician] 2012](http://freethoughtblogs.com/lousycanuck/files/2012/08/canadate-front-censored-150x150.jpg)

Rush Limbaugh as The Penguin explains the Bat-Conspiracy against Romney
You have to admit, Oswald Cobblepot is actually significantly more sane-sounding than this normally. Jimmy Kimmel pretty much picked the perfect clips to show how ridiculous Limbaugh’s accusations are, because the clips of Bane are from an episode that first aired September 10, 1994.

Amnesty International’s anti-torture video
Busy, full day, and I’m still down with the sickness otherwise. I just thought this video was important enough that you should watch it, so I’ll throw it up here with little extra to say about it. This video is an attempt to give you some idea what it’s like to be black-bagged and disappeared …

Scientists protest death of evidence on Parliament Hill
Canadian scientists marched on Parliament Hill this past Tuesday to protest the ongoing campaign by the Harper government to squelch any and all science whose results go against party lines on topics like (and especially) the environment.

Which government better understands how to get women interested in science?
I’ll report, you decide. The EU “Science: it’s a girl thing!” campaign: The White House’s Girls in STEM video (hat tip to Scicurious): Vote in the comments! IT’LL BE A FUCKEN TIGHTTE RACE, I’M SURE!!!1 (Err. Sorry, I channeled PhysioProf for a second there.) Also, to skew your votes ever so slightly, Teen Skepchick hosts …
