Open Threads

After reading Juan Gato’s ‘Fisking’ of Maureen Dowd (next post down), I decided we need to revisit the greatest thrashing ever to be meted out by any member of the blogosphere. Once more, from the Protein Wisdom archives dating back to January 5th, I present an encore performance of Anne D. Coughman’s Let’s Rall!

Go read it again. I dare you. And keep drinks away from your keyboard.

Ted Rall climbed out of his hole, did not see his shadow, and promptly puked up this bile that John Scalzi found the need to post.

I skimmed it, because reading it was easier than working out to get my blood rate up and at target heart rate. It is the usual conspiracy theory/Afghanistan as oil power play bilge that Rall and others are known for, but I just stopped at this line:

Time for the aluminum foil hat and a six month hiatus for you Mr. Rall. Crawl back in your hole. Demon, begone.

More Sci- Than Fi, Physicists Create Antimatter

Physicists working in Europe announced yesterday that they had passed through nature’s looking glass and had created atoms made of antimatter, or antiatoms, opening up the possibility of experiments in a realm once reserved for science fiction writers. Such experiments, theorists say, could test some of the basic tenets of modern physics and light the way to a deeper understanding of nature.

Paging Steve Den Beste. Auf Englisch, bitte.

And the primates slink back to what they know best: murder of innocents.

I am sure CNN will somehow blame this on Israel.

Daschle blasts Bush economic record in a preview of Democrats’ campaign

In Daschle’s world, nothing helps an economy more than a fresh round of taxation and regulatory intervention, along with the obligatory redistribution of wealth. Alas, Bush et. al don’t buy this line of thinking. Thus, according to Daschle, their record is “atrocious.”

For Shame.
