JARED IN AUSTRALIA writes about last week's story about the TV miniseries
about a big earthquake in California: "It seems that many shows like
this don't actually consult scientists any more, and the worst part is,
people believe that the phenomenon in the show is actually possible by
the real physics of the world. My theory of this was recently proven
when I started year 11 and had my first physics class, with many
students believing that the smaller a planet the larger the gravity
because they saw it on 'Dragonball Z'. The stupidity of people not only
stems from the productions that you noted, but even as far as 16-year-
olds watching bad cartoons. People like [producer] Howard Braunstein
need to be stopped before we are a race of idiots who will believe
anything that we see on TV. After all, it would have cost him maybe
$100 to get in some high-school science teachers who would've been able
to tell him that he is an idiot." Well sure. But then the smart people
would have fewer people to point at and laugh! [thisis true.com]

Bastard goes to the Movies .... NOT!
What a great idea. Don't torture yourself by paying those high prices for admission and popcorn when you can just review the movie without seeing it.

Why they hate us
"What else could we make of pronouncements such as John Kerry's, that the first priority of his Administration would be to crawl to the United Nations and beg forgiveness for "acting unilaterally" in Iraq? What else could we make of the shrieking claims of anti-war activists that Camp X-Ray at Guantanamo is a torture center where harmless Afghani nationalists are being subjected to inhumane treatment, and that American occupation forces are "murdering" helpless Iraqi civilians in a war for oil? What else could we make of the inseparability of those activists from Castro supporters and International A.N.S.W.E.R., the famed Stalinist-Communist front group? What else could we make of the behavior of such as Katha Pollitt, who forbade her daughter to hang the American flag from their apartment window after Black Tuesday, because "it stands for war and genocide and death" -- ?

SOB Story
How John Kerry referred to one of the Secret Service agents assigned to guard him. [New Urban Legends]
I think we all know who the SOB in this story is. Can you imagine the huge number of retirement papers from the Secret Service that will be submitted the day after Kerry is elected?

I Want To Run For Office
Then I can make laws that force everyone to be exactly like I want them. Or, in the absence of my authority over you poor, pitiful people out there, I'll just ask this legislator to file bills for me. [The Bitch Girls]
You got my vote!

Another leftist myth debunked: re-enlistments strong
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) - Despite the shrapnel wounds Staff Sgt. William Pinkley suffered during his tour in Iraq, the 26-year-old is joining other soldiers who are re-enlisting at rates that exceed the retention goals set by the Pentagon. [Reality Hammer]

GOING TO THE SOURCE
I keep talking to people who are convinced that we're on the edge of disaster in Iraq. There's organized violence, fierce fighting in every town and on every street, and any Coalition soldier is a target that every Iraq citizen is just praying will pop up in front of his AK." [Hell In A Handbasket]
