I can do neither. Way to make me feel inadequate, cuttlefish.

We are more different from apes than apes are from viruses.
I’m at Skepticon, and while waiting for registration to open this morning, I thought I’d peek in at the Discovery Institute, and their Evolution News & Views site. So much entertainingly idiotic stupidity is on display.
I’m at the airport, soon to rise up into the sky and spend a few hours hurtling along at several hundred miles an hour, which is awesome, except for the part where I land in Missouri, which is not so awesome, except for Skepticon.
I’ll be looking for you there, and will be very disappointed if I don’t find you.
Let’s hear some clueless raving about how conservatives are more pro-science than liberals.
Joshua Jacobs, the smug libertarian being interviewed, believes in using the unbridled force of the free market to bring America back to unrivaled prosperity
. The interviewer, Nick Gillespie, thinks that sounds good
. It took a real effort to control my gag reflex so I could listen further.
The infamous Chuck Tingle has released a new book for the season: Oppressed In The Butt By My Inclusive Holiday Coffee Cups
A synopsis:
I’ve seen the video of the professor in Missouri, demanding that the aggressive reporter be thrown out of a circle of students. And I have mixed feelings about it. So many people are reflexively aghast, and shouting about “freedom of the press!”, but I’m wondering if we’re going to have any limitations on freedom of the press.
Yes, that’s how I’m feeling right now. Festive like this little guy.
I’ve been grading. Grading grading grading. I’ve been crankily making illegible red scrawls with lots of exclamation points on lab reports, and it’s been a stressful couple of days. The pile is cleared now, though, but much as it would be appropriate to immediately down a couple of pints of whisky, I still have a lecture to give, and two lab sections to crack a whip over, before I am free of immediate obligations.
I have brilliantly managed to clear the deck before I fly off to Skepticon tomorrow, at least. And I shall return these bloodily reddened reports to the students today, and they will spend their weekend making corrections while I mingle happily with a crowd of interesting people for a few days.
And then they get their revenge when I return and they re-inflict their papers on me next week for re-grading. But they will be perfect papers then, after all of my suggestions/demands are implemented, and instead of red slashes I’ll be drawing little green happy faces on their papers, and we shall all be full of joy and contentment.
Maybe I should stock up on heart and smiley face stickers for the next round. We can still give those out in college, right?
She has declared the current Starbucks holiday cup ‘controversy’ stupid.
Do not buy in to the media hype surrounding this story!! It is just another attempt by the LEFT to make Christians look stupid.
She still gets some things wrong. All of us on the “LEFT” are shocked and bemused by the fact that anyone on the “RIGHT” thinks this is a matter of any significance at all…but the original instigator, people like Joshua Feuerstein, are most definitely not part of any left-wing conspiracy.
I am also amused by one other little fact. She thinks the controversy is stupid, but…
But even Palin said that she had chosen to buy her coffee at the local Mocha Moose instead of patronizing Starbucks.
But then maybe that’s entirely because Starbucks coffee is terrible.
