fair and balanced

update 3: igst asks a similar question,
"Why are 1 million black men marching in DC seen as a culmination of racial pride, but a gathering of a few hundred white people is seen as a slathering mob intent on oppressing others?"


---

update & bump 2: why is it that when a radical islamist goes on a shooting spree while shouting "allah akbar!", the media refuses to speculate on his motives, but when a nihilist atheist goes on a shooting spree, the media falsely paints him as a right-wing extremist?

---

update & bump 1: just in case you had any doubts of liberal's utter hypocrisy, they are now trying to ban "threatening symbols and language".

i found a related quote in a different story:
"All their talk about “common sense” and a “reasonable middle ground” is just that—talk. It’s a smokescreen to allow them to advance from their beachhead, never to ease back and practice some of that “compromise” they’re continually hitting us over the head with."

divisive speech criticized by major media outlets:
  • sarah palin, "blood libel"
  • anti-homosexuality speech
  • anti-islamic speech
  • anti-dnc candidate speech
divisive speech not criticized by major media outlets:and certainly not criticized by major media outlets are the actual terrorist actions of any of these people (unless political points could be scored for the left by criticizing them)

worst. year. ever.

there were only three bright spots:
1. The Yankees did not even get into the World Series.

2. There were several days during which Lindsay Lohan was neither going into, nor getting out of, rehab.

if only it were that easy

imao: "The people who own the money should just be able to say, “I’ve decided to keep that money and spend it myself.”"

on religion

the next time an atheist makes the absurd claim that "religion has caused the most human suffering in world history", ask them how many hospitals were founded by atheists.

the gratingest story ever told

craig winn via igst:
Simply stated, if we are to believe the Islamic scripture’s portrayal of this “prophet,” Muhammad was the most repulsive, and thus the least qualified, divine messenger in human history. His Qur’an recital serves as proof. By any rational, literary, historic, or moral criterion it is the worst book ever written.
even in a world with "origin of species", "mein kampf", "das kapital", and "the god delusion" in the library, i still have to agree...

random p.s.: when thinking of post titles, grated minds think alike

there's a difference?

Wikipedia defines a chomskybot as:
"...a program that generates paragraphs which appear similar to those in the corpus of Noam Chomsky's linguistic works, but are humorously devoid of any meaning, by combining at random phrases taken from Chomsky's actual works."
Of course, this refers only to the computer-based chomskybots. Carbon-based chomskybots (that infect the comments of many political blogs) differ from their silicon-based siblings in these ways:
  1. they parrot chomsky's political (rather than linguistic) babblings,
  2. they are more annoying,
  3. they actively (rather than passively) resist factual evidence, and
  4. they make far less sense.

exorcising diet

dustbury says that jeff brokaw says that:
"We do not understand diet and nutrition and motivation well enough to make general policy about it."
the only thing i'm sure about my diet is that i've lost over 20 pounds mostly by cutting back on soda from 2-to-4-per-day to 1-to-2-per-week. i wonder how much more weight i could lose if i ever exercised...
