I have no idea what newspaper this is from. It was ripped from a friend’s wall on facebook, who ripped it from a friend of his. If you know where it came from, please chime in.
Ben Stein – amazing academic genius, except when it comes to creation.
When I was a teen, I used to love watching that TV show on comedy central called “Win Ben Stein’s Money”, where contestants would fight for the right to challenge Ben Stein one on one in trivia questions. If the contestant won, he’d get bragging rights and a fat check for $10,000 or more. Out of the 10 questions they asked to Ben, I usually could answer 3 or 4 correctly. Thus I only beat Ben Stein once, when I answered 6 and he posted an uncharacteristically low 5 correct answers. I always thought Ben Stein was a really really intelligent guy, until I learned he was a creationist. I’m sorry, I meant intelligent design activist. Anyway here’s a video of my childhood vision of genius and nerddom acting like a complete moron.
Tebow’s pre-Wonderlic prayer request falls flat
Tim Tebow requested that everyone in his test taking group bow their heads in prayer, and the response he got was:
“Shut the fuck up.”
Banana Man Forced to Confront His Bullshit
Ray Comfort, AKA. Banana Man is a televangelist.
Thunderf00t is a prodigiously active maker of anti-creationist videos on Youtube.
Long story short, Thunderf00t challenged Ray Comfort to a debate and Ray accepted. The debate was roughly an hour and a half long and the first entry is linked to here. Thunderf00t performed magnificently, deftly disassembling every argument Comfort provided.
He provided an alternative to God, (Tod), and debated Comfort into admitting the only difference between God and Tod is that God has the Bible as backup.
He provided specific instances of observed speciation. Comfort stated believed in both speciation and micro-evolution, but somehow still would not admit to believing in “Evolution”.
There are more gems, I might post a few more later. Much praise to Thunderf00t for challenging Ray Comfort, and much praise to Comfort for accepting the challenge.
Ray Comfort is too set in his beliefs to change, but it’s still refreshing to see an open debate on these subjects.
Spirit of Truth
This guy has been a staple on the interwebs for quite some time now. If you haven’t received his biblical teachings set to early 90′s west coast Gangsta Rap and R&B, then you HAVE to watch this video and become enlightened.
“Three words: Not. good. for. the. country.”
“OK that’s 5 words.”
The last teaparty protest before the passing of the new healthcare bill sustains the juicy legacy of the teaparties before it.
“It’s a pitchfork. It’s made out of cardboard and it’s symbolism, symbolic. When the people get to the point where they’ve had enough, they grab their farm tools and they storm the castle.”
“I don’t think Obama believes in the Constitution”
“Even though he’s a constitutional scholar?”
“So they say”
“Fox News, everybody else is on Obama’s side”
Yes, it’s from a channel called NewLeftMedia and is not exactly unbiased. But it’s always interesting to see people earnestly regurgitating right wing bullshit. If these people weren’t voters it would be adorable, but they are so it’s a little terrifying.
Congress: Sticks and Stones
Well, apparently our Congressional representatives have as much class as 3rd graders on the playground. Bonus at the end of the article.
The Short Version: “Someone shouted “baby killer” Sunday as an anti-abortion Democratic congressman was speaking on the House floor shortly after the chamber passed a sweeping health care reform bill with his help.” — Excerpt from the CNN article.
The Basic Laws of Human Stupidity
This is an awesome article I remember coming across sometime in 2005. It stuck, and no matter how many times I go back and read it, it is still captivating.
Basically, it breaks down humans into four categories: Helpless, Intelligent, Bandit, and Stupid. When you start to analyze the interactions between these groups as specified, you will find yourself saying “I know someone exactly like that!”
The first basic law of human stupidity asserts without ambiguity that:
Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid individuals in circulation.

I found this here. If they credit someplace else I can’t read it, because I don’t speak terrorist.
Money Creation
This is part of an awesome series about our monetary system called “Crash Course.” Once it explains the basics of how money works and is created, it shows you how our current money supply is expanding exponentially, and we are headed for BIG problems.
