Balloon Juice

Come for the politics, stay for the snark.

“And when the Committee says to “report your income,” that could mean anything!

“I never thought they’d lock HIM up,” sobbed a distraught member of the Lock Her Up Party.

Everybody saw this coming.

If you tweet it in all caps, that makes it true!

That’s my take and I am available for criticism at this time.

Insiders who complain to politico: please report to the white house office of shut the fuck up.

Someone should tell Republicans that violence is the last refuge of the incompetent, or possibly the first.

Republicans seem to think life begins at the candlelight dinner the night before.

There is one struggling party in US right now, and it’s not the Democrats.

Sadly, there is no cure for stupid.

After dobbs, women are no longer free.

This has so much WTF written all over it that it is hard to comprehend.

I was promised a recession.

DeSantis transforming Florida into 1930s Germany with gators and theme parks.

They love authoritarianism, but only when they get to be the authoritarians.

Only Democrats have agency, apparently.

There are a lot more evil idiots than evil geniuses.

Nancy smash is sick of your bullshit.

with the Kraken taking a plea, the Cheese stands alone.

Everything is totally normal and fine!!!

A consequence of cucumbers

At some point, the ability to learn is a factor of character, not IQ.

Well, whatever it is, it’s better than being a Republican.

Anyone who bans teaching American history has no right to shape America’s future.

What Hath God Wrote?

Via the godless heathens over at Uncorrelated, I see that those atheistic scientists are trying to insert their faithless beliefs into the clear Biblical record:

A new museum being built in Kentucky will have some of the classic staples of natural history museums

    If this thing is actually built, it’d probably be one of the most amusing museums out there, like a Chick tract come to life. So while the people building this are undoubtedly complete and utter morons, the unitentional comedy value of this is likely to be very high. It’ll likely be a highlight of the next edition of Roadside America (best travel guide ever).

    I agree, this has potential for unintentional comedy that shatters the scale. C’mon…people seriously believing that dinosaurs and humans coexisted? These people were made by the good lawd and Jebus himself to be derided.

    Uh. This whole adventure is being directed by Ken Hamm, the looneyist of looneys. On the creation wacko scale of 1-10, he’s definitely a 10. To put it in perspective, you’ve got the IDers like Phillip Johnson who don’t advocate creationism per se, but just don’t like evolution. Next, you’ve got the folks at ICR down in San Diego, who really push creation science, but aren’t necessarily in total agreement about all “creation” facts. Some think the earth was created six-thousand years ago, others that it was creatd something like eight-thousand years ago.

    But, then you’ve got Ken Hamm, someone who basically thinks a lot of the ICR guys are too liberal. If you like books that have people and dinosaurs feeding each other, pictures of dinosaurs as pets, well his books are the place to go. He’s almost got a Christianized Flintstones things going on, but he’s not claiming it’s fantasy. He’s a real garbage peddler.

    I’d say this goes to 11, but I’ve seen too many things that go to about 20 or so on that scale. Still, it’d be nice to see this thing built, so I can have somewhere fun to go on vacation. It’d be fascinating to see their explanation of how many tens of thousands of cubic miles of crinoids grew and died in the forty days following the Flood. Among hundreds of thousands of other contortionist explanations required to put humans and dinosaurs on the planet at the same time, and to blame pretty much everything on the Flood.

    Well, just looking at some of the evidence, one has to laugh in advance of the frantic arm-waving.

    If this happens, does that mean that we’ll be seeing the scietific evidence of evolution shpw up in Sunday school bibles? You know, to teach the kids that there are alternate theories.

    When I was 6 or 7 (in the 1970s) my (very religious) dad bought me the book “Dinosaurs: Those Terrible Lizards” by Dr. Gish (forget the first name). Gish was the first — and for a long time, the only — scientist who advocated creationism. The book was a real hoot, as it quoted passages from the book of Job to prove that humans and Dinosaurs lived together, and claimed that the extention of dinosaurs proved that Noah’s flood really happened (funny, I missed the part in Genesis Chapter 6 when Noah played bouncer to the dinosaurs trying to get on the ark).

    Oh, and the person who said this is a Chick tract come to life: you don’t know how right you are. In fact, Chick incorporated Dr. Gish’s “findings” into a comic where a Christian student challenges, and humiliates, his college professor over his claims that evolution is fact. It’s actually one of the highlights of the Chick comic series — and, if you have a soft spot for unintentional comedy, that’s saying quite a bit.

    Does the link button do something different than just hand coding links? I usually just type in links, but if I’m doing bad stuff to the blog somehow, I’d be happy to use the buttons. (Or does KC just not do it right?) :)

    Hey, I remember that comic! It was absolutely hysterical–perhaps the funniest of the proselytizing evangelical comics. It used to be hosted here but they’ve since replaced it with a new comic that somehow throws a bizarre “evolution is racist!” argument in with the usual creationist bullshit. (BTW, my favorite comic on that site is the one about pr0n–it’s more ham-fisted than Sally Struthers at a buffet.)

    Oh yeah I remember that particular Chick tract, “Big Daddy” I believe. Read it here. I read far too many of these in my college days.

    I must be thinking of a different comic because I’ve never seen that one before now, Joel. Not that it matters–they’re all pretty much the same pile of guano. Damn if they aren’t ridiculously entertaining, though.

    Thanks for the link, Joel. I regretably lost my copy of that particular tract years ago, and it was definately a fun (if disturbing) trip down memory lane.

    I think that wild bird wrote “excepting” but meant “accepting”. At least that’s the way my copy-editor mind sees it.

    I do have one problem, I always thought that creationists didn’t think the dinosaurs were created 5,000 years ago, I thought they thought that their fossils were created 5,000 years ago. Just like the light coming here from supposedly from stars many light years away was created 5,000 years ago. (or 6,000, I forget the exact number mostly because I don’t care)
    I thought it was to test your faith.
    I didn’t pass the test.

    I do hope that was a sarcastic post. If not you need help.
