I don’t know who coined the phrase, but I heard it from Rush: politics is Hollywood for the ugly. You know Al really lights up whenever someone calls him a “rock star.” He wants it, bad. I didn’t trust him in the first place, but his schmoozing is just unbearable.

Anyway, the question on the table is, “Are you ready to change the way you live?” Apparently not, or Live Earth wouldn’t be happening. Bands could tape themselves performing at home and upload the clips to the Internets. Wham bam, I just saved a jillion tons of jet fuel.

Lysenkoism’s contribution to the venacular before it collapsed into a ruin, taking along Soviet agriculture with it:
agrobiology : coinage of a word that was nothing more than false science
jabberology : pseudo-science blabbering

Thanks for the clarification…I wasn’t old enough in my Anglophilia in the 70s to catch that case. ;)

All I know is it’s on TONS of the Brit tv and film I watch. (Which, coincidentally, I watch almost more than American tv and film.)

Bollocks bollocks bollocks… Wait, so “the dog’s bollocks” is BAD now? I thought it was good! (Kidding of course.)

Not sure why bollocks is done that way. It’s equivalent here is “balls”.

It’s considered more inflammatory than ‘balls’. It was the focus of an obscenity case in the late 70s.

I’d prefer one that means “F**k off- I already know & am not interested in spreading the word for you.”

hehe..i was just being polite.

one of its patron saints may be responsible for the preventable deaths of 800,000 children per year.

Why that is 150,000 children more than the 650,000 Iraqis our troops have killed in the entire Iraqi war…..according to Rosie O. Following Big Ro’s logic, those children didn’t harm anyone or invade another country, so why should they be targeted? Therefore, it is nice to know that the libs will pick this up as a cause to defend the defenseless, since that is what they say they are all about…………..waiting……….[crickets]……

The Goracle and friends desperately need an “awareness” rally, to get the word out that “global warming” is now officially dead, and “climate change” is in.

I’m sitting in Southern California at the moment, land of the loony left, and we’re freezing our balls off here. Like Christmas all week – and I’ve heard people in line at Starbucks, real live Granola types, laughing at “global warming.”

But “climate change” …. well, that’s got possibilities. Cold? Warm? Who knows or cares … let’s just raise some bucks.

Gore needs ManBearPigaPalooza. Badly. It’s time for a new liberal meme, and there isn’t enough “awareness.”

Thinking like a liberal is entertaining. And funny. But the best part is that I’m only half kidding about the above – go read Michael Crichton’s “State of Fear” to see just why libs need more “awareness” on this issue …

Can we just have an Idiocy Awareness ribbon?

I’d prefer one that means “F**k off- I already know & am not interested in spreading the word for you.”

I like the idea of an “Idiocy Awareness” campaign. What color ribbon should we use?

bloggless on May 21, 2007 at 2:38 PM

Well, I’d say brown, because it’s the color of BS. Or white, to signify the clean mental slate you have to have to fall for every “cause” coming down the pike.

What color IS gullibility anyway??

Their favorites are “the children” and “the poor”, but they will gladly use any disaster that comes along, whether it’s Katrina, AIDS, or malaria. They want us to buy mosquito nets to save the children from malaria. As if mosquitos only fly at night, or the children are only bit while asleep. But they would never consider just using the one thing that deals with the mosquitos directly.

Oh, JawHaw, the parsing filters cause certain words to place your comment in moderation, and require one of the staff to release it. Anytime a comment doesn’t come through right away, that’s what has happened. That’s why I’ve learned (thanks, Entelechy) to use an asterisk in words like social*st.

DDT could put an end to the threat of west nile here in the US, but no one will take that step for fear of the eco-religionists.

Great term – eco-religionists. We should use it more often, as it is a perfect description of the people in that movement.

Aging British rock stars that aren’t going to be used my Left wing scam artists? That’s Rock ‘N Roll in its purest form.

So Bryan, when is Michelle getting her own Sunday show?
