    and a very happy b-day to you, ERV.

    I’ll never forget how effortlessly you made Behe look like a spoiled 5 year old.

    I was tempted to pull a ‘first’ stunt but decided to wait it out. Thanks for the pointer for new material, PZ.

    And to ERV for writing stuff to fill up my brain with.

    Errrrrrrv… Talk about your all-time major crushes. That woman makes my brain itch –and not in the bad way like electrocution.

    Well, I never met you before, but happy birfday, ERV! Your work sounds really neat!

    As far as Dobson goes, he’s a painful idiot, but in my rankings he gets a tenth of a point back because, surprisingly, he does accept ADHD as a legitimate medical condition and recognizes medication as helpful (a pet cause of mine, as an overachiever who wasn’t diagnosed until the neurological strain made me start hallucinating at age 23). I was really shocked to hear this – I assumed his treatment plan involved a belt.

    oooo…I share a birthday with ERV? Yay.

    ewwwww…I share a birthday with James Dobson? *sigh*

    Big Hugs for ERV. Regarding Dobson, if I could, as the IDCist say, “Borrow” a line from Shirley Knots, “No Hugs For Thugs”.

    If there was an auction for the opportunity to pee on that man’s birthday cake, I would win. Ugh. Double ugh.

    As much as Dobson deserves to be maligned for many (most) of the positions he holds, I used to attend church with him and he was one of the nicest and most sincere guys I ever met. If only his powers could be used for good and not evil!

    James Dobsom, carny, small hands, smells like cabbage.

    Dobson, and other creeps like Stein, and the IDiot leadership are just as useless as others who’ve lied for their ideology, namely Hitler.

    Are you sure Dobson wasn’t born on the previous day, April 20th ? Somehow that seems more appropriate.

    Are you sure Dobson wasn’t born on the previous day, April 20th ?

    And then born-again on the 22nd?

    Who’s James Dobson?

    No, on second thoughts, don’t tell me. Sounds like a case where ignorance is indeed bliss.

    Happy birthday ERV!

    Yet another illustration — as if more were needed — of the idiocy of astrological predictions based on one’s birthday. I used to collect “odd couples” like ERV and Dobson; it began the year I’d been given an almanac calendar for christmas, and noticed that Richard Nixon and Joan Baez were both born on January 9th.

    !!!

    Ouch.

    Who’s James Dobson?

    Leads “Focus on the Family”. Is called SpongeDob because he said SquarePants SpongeBob is gay (and must therefore be hidden from children).

    Happy (belated) birthday ERV! Love your blog and great work on the Harvard video theft.

  16. John Phillips, FCD says

    Happy belated birthday ERV. You rock, and I mean seriously rock, as your takedown of the various IDiots is already legendary. I just wish I was 30 years younger :)

    I would offer it at your site but I always have a problem login in since you had to change comment access some time ago. One day I’ll sort it out :)

    Is called SpongeDob because he said SquarePants SpongeBob is gay (and must therefore be hidden from children).

    Following in the fine tradition of Jerry Falwell insisting that Tinky Winky of the Teletubbies was gay and thus not a good role model for children. I would love to know which cartoon characters, if any, Ted Haggard thought were gay.
