The podcast it mentions she is on, Skeptics Guide to the Universe, is very good by the way. I'm surprised it doesn't mention it on her wiki but she just one a major science educator award, from Neill Degrasse Tyson.

The Republican primary thread is one thing, but I had something like 2500 unread posts in the October thread after a few days. Any time 800+ unread posts show up in <24 hrs, you should skip to newest post and thank yourself, because all you missed is gunchat.

Not sure if this was discussed: http://www.politico.com/magazine/newsletter/the-friday-cover-john-weaver-winning-isnt-everything Regardless, to be honest given the substance of McCain, Huntsman, Snyder, Kasich, etc... Weaver seems really good at generating disproportionate amounts of media coverage. It's not really his fault that after that point, the candidates fundamentally lack substance and wilt in the spotlight.

Milk Malk posted:I don't believe it's sexist to state that women are attracted to money. Money is sexy to anyone, and it's our sexist culture that dictates men should be the ones earning and flaunting the money. Suggesting a young woman might be attracted to and get involved with an older man because he is a rich and famous TV star is neither a disparaging comment about her morals nor about the nature of "women, amirite." plenty of public figures are a lot different in private from their public persona also keep in mind maher was sleeping with ann coulter at one point, so it's certainly not the oddest coupling in the universe

Well somebody makes up his audience of jabbering morons who clap at his every smug "joke." Maybe he would pull out his penis and then pause for effect, and she would clap and go "whooo!"

I believe in the opposite of that stupid House of Cards clip. Politics is for working stiffs. Senator Issa, what are you loving doing, working for the government? Dude should be scratching his balls and making demands all day, trusting his wealth will do the work. Some loving people.

Please. Let's go down this path. "Hillary, anonymously leaked records from a planned parenthood hack indicate that you have had three dozen abortions in your life. Can you verify if the number of abortions you've had in your life is indeed this high? Or is the number somewhat lower?" "Bernie Sanders, the intelligence records leaked to pastebin indicate that you spent much of your congressional career under investigation for giving confidential government documents to the KGB, FSK and PRC. Can you comment on those investigations, and if your socialist beliefs made you more eager to share those documents with our enemies for free?"

The KKK list is supposed to be of actual members and not just contact info a member had? I can absolutely believe there are GOP Congressmen in the Klan and I can't imagine Klansmen not having some congressional contact info, Klansman or not. Either way, here's hoping Joe Wilson(R - KKK) is called on to explain this.

I still can't believe people seriously called Paul D. Ryan a "champion for women" or whatever because he wanted to spend time with his family, i.e. not do the lovely parts of being Speaker. He's no better than the rest of the GOP, and can you seriously imagine what would happen if Nancy Pelosi said she wasn't gonna do all of the Speaker responsibilities because she wanted to be with her family?

Mr Interweb posted:So I just discovered this. Apparently, Bill Maher was dating this chick for two years at one point: Maher is increasingly more insufferable this season, so much so I think he will be on the T ea Party levels of idiocy in 10 years. In his most recent episode: Talked at length about how Islamic Extremism is a grave threat and tried to push the Islamic religion/belief system and not western imperialism as the root cause (he does this every single episode now) Used the body slam video to try to push that parents don't take care of their children like they used to Said that (paraphrasing) 'the last sexual stigma is being a older man with a younger woman' while at the same time continuing to use transgender as a punchline in some of his lovely jokes I still enjoy the show, but I feel like I am watching a man descend into watching more and more Fox News.

Raskolnikov38 posted:Fox will bring up Bernie's 'honeymoon' to the Soviet Union from time to time. Which is a thing that actually happened, as verified by Bernie and his wife in memoirs and interviews. Fox (and Will, and the NRO) bring it up for intellectually bankrupt redbaiting and insinuation-which is hacky and reprehensible-but it is markedly different than "Hey, your name was seen on a list of dubious provenance. Would you care to comment on reports of your membership in the klan?" Trabisnikof posted:lol if you think Clinton and Sanders won't have to answer stupid questions like this already. The sitting president has had to defend his birth for years, we went down this path years ago. Which required concerted efforts from multiple (bipartisan!) political campaigns as well as substantial financial commitment from various racist republican millionaires. This is more comparable to Larry Sinclair-though even that inanity would have been more reasonable in that at least there was physically someone making accusations who could be interviewed and his credibility weighed. "Whitey" tape could a plausible comparison, I guess? Grey Fox posted:Considering Diane Rehm on NPR asked Bernie about his non-existent dual citizenship with Israel because of something she saw on Facebook, we're already there. Interviewer fucks up and asks borderline racist and profoundly stupid question, is called out on it, has to apologize. Welp, poo poo, seal is broken guys. Everyone in news is now Chuck Johnson. Go hog wild. QuoProQuid posted:I wasn't demanding Wilson resign. I was asking if any further details had come out regarding the allegations. What allegation? Because "based on this pastebin file, you're a member of the Klan" isn't an allegation in any meaningful sense of the word. What possible further details will there be? No actual journalist, columnist or opinion writer will do anything with this list. Wilson will ignore it entirely, because "Wilson denies reports of membership in the Klan" is a headline that gets people fired. At this stage, it's a lazy and ineffective troll effort. Someone with a sense of artistry and subtlety would have gone with a couple of senior RNC staffers, and maybe a campaign manager or state director for a few of the primary contestants. Maybe Lew Rockwell too, if they had a sense of humor.

Sanders went on a city trip to a city in the USSR, his wife was one of many other attendees, and it fell shortly after his their wedding. Suggesting it was some glorious communist honeymoon paints a very different picture.

Suggesting it was some glorious communist honeymoon paints a very different picture. Should I have bolded "hacky and reprehensible"? "Honeymoon" is not an unfair description of "trip to foreign country on the day after a wedding." We know this, because Sanders and his wife have directly referred to it as such. It was also obviously the sort of junket that is part of the job for large city mayors/governors. Fox should be ashamed for presenting it as relaxing honeymoon vacation and/or a pilgrimage to the glorious Socialist Homeland... but that's in an entirely category than Larry Sinclair, Birth Certificates or Grand Dragon Wilson.
