On the climate-change front, Denis Dutton, founder of the superb Arts & Letters Daily Web site, has created a new site, Climate Debate Daily, as a forum for both sides in the ferocious controversy over global warming. The site’s lucid dual format is exactly what has been needed to shed scholarly light on this heavily politicized battle, which has been very difficult to follow for everyone but fanatical true believers.
Thank God someone has finally taken this debate to the scholarly forum of the internets, where the time-tested analytical techniques of “fisking” and the “fact-checking of asses” can, at long last, be brought to bear. And I must once again as for a moment of silence to mourn the big tragic accident which killed all the world’s scientists, destroyed all their lives’ work, and left us in this nightmare world of pure opinion. Still, they left us the internets, so I guess no real damage done. Hmm, I wonder if the Zionist Rosicrucian conspiracy killed all the scientists with their space lasers in order to replenish ”proteus”‘s herds of gay sex/snuff slaves? Perhaps someone will set up a superb website where we may examine both sides of this puzzling issue.
The old-guard feminist establishment has also rushed out of cold storage to embrace Hillary Clinton via tremulous manifestoes of gal power that have startlingly exposed the sentimental slackness of thought that made Gloria Steinem and company wear out their welcome in the first place. Hillary’s gonads must be sending out sci-fi rays that paralyze the paleo-feminist mind — because her career, attached to her husband’s flapping coattails, has sure been heavy on striking pious attitudes but ultra-light on concrete achievements.

Admit it: your posting frequency is an attempt to get the Naderfight off the front page.

I’d respond, but I’m informed I’ve already exceeded my quota.

Too bad we can’t go hunting for Camille Paglia nekkid and scuttling through the underbrush like the tremulous hedgehog she is. That would be some sport.

If you care to go to the site you find such bullets as this on the ‘right’ side:

No I didn’t continue.
Why doesn’t Ruth St Denisshawn or whatever the name is start a similarly ‘cool’ site for the heated controversy of whether species are descended through evolution by natural selection, or else by Divine Design (Candace Olsen, that is)?

One could have some fun with these bullets though … Like it is soo cold today, and some Bosnians told me they were fucking FREEZING, so much for Global Warming…and you know people are always putting their thermometers OUT OF THE SUN and OUT OF THE WIND — so naturally with this scandalous way of tracking the temperature you’re going to bias the results! I mean how many hectares of earth’s surface are shielded from sun and wind, huh? huh? And some dude somewhere is in awe of how loosely Al Gore’s pants fit him…

Oh my goodness, that “Creation Science Fair” site is so over the top that I was convinced it was a parody.
But it looks like it isn’t……

I suggest the creation of a panel to engage both sides of the much-ignored debate as to whether the Earth is in fact round. For too long the spherians have held sway over the so-called scientific discourse, ridiculing and blackballing all dissenting opinions. It is time, once again, to teach the controversy.
Do you think I could get funding from the Discovery Institute?
