Bad news for Chris Christie: donuts with trans fat cause brain damage.

Sorry, I guess I'm not great at the making stuff up part, I keep linking to actual facts, and besides the GOP is a target rich environment for evidence of brain damage.

Most awesome troll in internet history, bar none.

The Taliban in Pakistan have been preventing children from getting polio vaccines. They have this silly notion of it being un Islamic.

bgamall4 says

fake polio vaccines....

That isn't even true. There was a fake campaign to immunize against Hepatitis B, which requires three shots; the first shot was given, then the campaign was abandoned. Sloppy and sensational reporting in the commercial press, and Muslim clerical manipulation, and anti-vaxers then turned it into an attack on (of all things) polio vaccine, which requires only one dose and is usually oral. The original campaign had nothing to do with polio vaccine except in the imaginations of people who wanted to stop polio vaccinations, and those people are the reason why polio has not been eradicated. This is one of the biggest problems that conspiracy theorists cause: in their zeal to exaggerate what happened into a more elaborate hoax, they distract from genuine problems. There should never have been a fake vaccination program; the recipients should have been offered the full three doses of the vaccine that they were promised.

In the case of Romney, truth has always been stranger than fiction:

Seriously, how much were these black kids paid to act enthusiastic towards Romney? That's the real WTF.

socal2 says

going to attack us. He didn't even read it.

What pray tell was Bush supposed to do with such a "specific" report before
9/11?

I can think of plenty of effective things not on your short, cherry picked list. First though, we should start by recalling what Bush DID do when presented with the report. He summarily brushed off the presenter, saying, "Your ass is covered" and on to the next thing. THAT WAS ALL.

They were each offered their own planet, where they would rule eternally, plus eternal life for themselves and as many dead ancestors as they could name. Similar promises are made to most Republican voters, which is the only way to get them to vote the way they do.

Name 2 things Bush could have done that would have prevented 9/11 that wouldn't have sent the hacks on the political left and the ACLU to the courts pulling their hair out.

Jihadis have been trying to hit us ever since their first attack on the WTC in 1993. But we are to believe that Bush in his first few months in office could do what Clinton couldn't do in 8 years? That's some fair logic!

This whole business is a total hack argument, made by unthinking hacks on the left who are also 9/11 Troofers or are too dumb to think their thoughts out.

Isn't that what Mormons believe?

North Koreans didn't try to kill Bush's poppy, or fly those planes into the WTC towers on 9-11.

And the current president is not Republican.

Sheesh: It's so easy to understand.

The next time I get pulled over by the police I'm going to do things a little differently.

Cop:"Do you have any idea how fast you were traveling?"

Me:"Well what about Bush with his two unsanctioned war, trillion dollar deficit, and his water boarding?"

Cop:"Yeah, naw, I was just playin' go ahead on!"

HE doesn't have the intellectual horsepower/bandwidth to comprehend.

Either that, or his "I hate Obama" emotions that rule all of his thinking about everything, prevent him from having the critical thinking skills relative to such issues as many 10 - 12 year olds I've known.

Or one other third possibility: he really is the halfway intelligent programmer and musician he portrays himself to be, but gets paid by some right wing outfit to mess up blogs and forums with Foxbot bullshit. Pretty dirty though, if that's the case.

Or I guess it could also be years of drug and alcohol abuse, left him relatively dysfunctional with respect to separating emotion from logic.

Dan8267 says

Yes, like I said, in the case of Romney, anything we could make up about him would never be nearly so strange as the things he actually does, says, and believes.

How'd I Do?

You mean at confirming what I said ? Perfect.

corntrollio says

The incident has been extensively investigated, and it's not even clear what critics want other than to keep this in the news as a talking point.

That's because everyone knows, apparently, it's not even supposed to make sense.

That is unless you're a right wing nut.

Hey it does show that those republican congressman are doing something !! And if it's about giving Obama shit, then that's fine with a lot of republicans.

ANd It would seem, that anyone that was going to leave the fold because they aren't stupid enough, or aren't hateful enough, or aren't gullible enough, would have left long ago (like the author of contolio's linked piece above).

So there's no real downside to this, for them, I guess. The brainwashing has worked. Fairly well, considering. And there is that bottom line taxes thing. Who wouldn't rationalize selling out their country if it meant personally having a slightly higher net worth, at least in the near term, and maybe a few more nice things before they die ?

I love your addition of 'some reports have shown...' on your blog. Er, you mean another poster on Patnet pointed out how wrong your blatherings were (which a simple check of the freely available FACTS would have told you), and even then you still can't bring yourself to actually correct your article. Paint me unsurprised, though your avalanche of insults against Curious for simply explaining the facts to you was utterly predictable. A basic grasp of the facts and the use of a coherent argument have never been your strong points.

As for trying to use this as some kind of proof of your idiotic Sandy Hook and 9/11 claims...

The black baby is a Rove staple: everyone who has ever run against a Bush has fathered a child with a black teenager.

Rove claimed Obama fathered a black baby.

Plus the Ambassador to Libya wasn't even killed at the embassy, but at the BENGHAZI consulate / CIA compound

Extreme paranoia is one of the signs of an advanced case of syphillis. Just saying.

marcus says

THey too care more about themselves than they do about the community or others or the planet.

I think there's also a legitimate conservative fear of this place turning into a life-on-the-dole system.

We've got 317M people here now and not that many meaningful, wealth-creating, jobs, with easily 100M people more coming by 2050.

Conservatives don't want to be on the hook for hundreds of millions of peoples' welfare, and they think liberal policies allow helpless people to procreate and just overwhelm everyone else.

There's a certain element of truth to this. Hell, ObamaCare's subsidies are being paid for by the extra 3.8% Medicare tax on investment incomes. That was a hot poker up the ass for them.

You really think Bush "lied" about WMD's? For what? To steal oil?

Bush, oil wealth. Cheney oil wealth, Rice chevron board, Dan Evans (commerce secretary) oil wealth. In a word yes stealing oil, or at least removing it from Saddam's control was a big factor in the Iraq war. Plus don't forget garnering reelection votes for knocking the crap out of an Arab country. Doesn't matter which one since the average American voter doesn't have a clue which is which. But the one with the second largest oil reserves in the world was not a coincidental choice. If you truly think Rove wasn't all over the reelection potential of winning a war in the middle east I have some really prime land in florida I can sell you. Slightly wet land.

North Korea had worse human rights violations than Iraq and has nuclear weapons and is working on missiles that can reach the us, but no oil. Did we attack?

Pakistan is the second largest sponsor of terrorism after saudi arabia, had direct links to 9/11, hid bin ladin for 12 years, illegally sold nuclear technology to iran, china, north korea, south africa, and who know who else. But no oil, did we attack?

Shall I continue?

Call it Crazy says

Just keep quacking about WMD's but I don't expect you to recognize the multiple UN resolutions and sanctions that Iraq ignored that caused the run up to the war... Specially UN Resolution 1441...

Just keep with your WMD narrative.....

Here I'll help your memory

Perhaps revisiting hans blix's (head of the un inspection team) report on 1441 will help your memory more than a poorly documented wiki post.

I don't believe it's biologically possible. Obama is half white. Those white genes are of course totally dominant based on the teaching of the bible. It's sort of like not being able to get pregnant from rape. The usual carefully documented scientific explanations.

Pakistan: Nukes

Bgmal said that was a hoax. He said those planes have been actually circled australia for 13 years then crashed into a school yard in ct somewhere. I think that was the story, it's all so confusing. How does anyone keep all the conspricies straight?

We need to spread democracy even if we have to nuke them back to the stone age to do it. Why do you hate freedom?

drone strikes...{snip}

Let's see how much YOU care about those innocent civilians...

And it sounds like YOU only care about them or drone strikes when they have pawn value in some partisan online battle. If you think Benghazi is a bigger scandal, justify it vis a vis the 16 yemeni diplomats and others; don't try to attack your way out of addressing them.

Exactly.

There is still a lot of debate, so the issue is far from settled. The biblical explanation is correct, of course: all scientists on the other side are just part of a conspiracy!

because there won't be any when they nuke us back.

You better put the price graph along with it before some one puts it. Remember, prices matter most, even if there is 0 sales activity. Yeah, that's the sign of a healthy housing market.

Bob, I am not afraid. I know that God will bury you and the Zionists on the Last Day. I am completely confident about that. Real Zionism, as it is spoken of in Isaiah, comes in peace. The new David is the prince of peace. What we have now in Israel is not real Zionism, and these "Zionists" stole the term from God and want war, not peace.

So, I have no doubt that the enemy of God is this militant Zionism, and these so called Zionists will pay with severe eternal punishment.

Thanks for the laugh.
