The GOP's anti-research agenda
Mon May 21, 2012
- Anti-Research goes right along with Anti-Intellectualism. The rebirth of the Know-Nothing Party. Led by prancing naked Emperors. Because reality has that well-known liberal bias. Read this and weep for us all:

- Wow, this is so deliciously nutty on so many levels. You know, I miss the days when the X-Files was in common parlance and we had the Smoking Man and lizard shape-shifters everywhere. Anal probes for everyone! In the immortal words of Rick Perry before he had his Maple Syrup, "Bring it!"

- Nah, that's just an old screengrab of a Geocities page. I remember when the whole web used to look like that. It was a thing of beauty, a sight to behold. Where Xena roamed the cyberscapes, with Gabrielle... The good old days.

- HOLY CRAP. Srsly, I hope you guys lead with this story tonight. I read a bit into this document, and labeling it "strategy" just blows my mind. The language here, the advisory tone, the between-the-lines assumptions, even from just a cursory look, literally blows my mind.

- No comments allowed on the VanderSloot statement? I have to say, I'm a little confused at the context. Was he not linked to that billboard? What does that billboard have to do with a supposedly wronged radio person or a school program?

Comments & Feedback

Hello, we watch MS NBC frequently and have noticed that some of Rachel's interviews are being interrupted by commercials for various products. The ads interfere with the flow of the conversations and also are being seen on other MS NBC shows. Please pass on this concern to the proper person. Thank you, we enjoy Rachel's show.
