Some Humor and Entertaining Rants

Just for the heck of it:

Friendly Atheist points us toward a blog post from paradise driver which provides signs on how to care for babies.

A sample (many more there):

Be prepared to blow your drink all over your keyboard!

Election rant:

I wonder what election inspection thinks of the polling group ARG?

Dick Bennett hates the fact that his outfit, ARG, is the least reputable of all the major pollsters. Their reputation is so bad that Real Clear Politics won’t even count them in their average. We’ve pointed out before how miserably wrong most of their polls have been. So it’s hard not to laugh when Bennett says something really stupid like this:

In North Carolina, for example, our final poll had Clinton at 42% and Obama at 50%, a margin of 8 percentage points. The final Zogby poll had Clinton at 37% and Obama at 51%, a 14 percentage-point margin. The final results were Clinton 42% and Obama 56%, a 14 percentage-point margin.

Based on his post, Mr. Blumenthal would argue that the Zogby poll was more accurate because it hit the 14 percentage-point margin.

I would argue, however, that hitting the Clinton number and missing the Obama number by 6 percentage points was more accurate than a poll that missed the Clinton number by 5 percentage points and missed the Obama number by 5 percentage points.

So we’re supposed to believe that 100% of the undecideds broke for Obama? Sure, [...]

The flailing of a desperate man who is always wrong – this is exactly what happened to Dick Morris, minus the hooker.

You’re nothing but a charlatan selling defective goods, Mr. Bennett; and your bias fell on the wrong side of the nomination race. Maybe you should ask Scott Rasmussen for job writing opinion columns – that’s how Morris manages to pay back all the money he owes to the IRS from his tax-evasion days.

Come on, EI, tell us how you really feel!

(note: I am half surprised that ARG didn’t have Gravel winning the nomination….that outfit was about as reliable as a horoscope.)

Political Humor

No, this isn’t intentional comedy. But clowns these characters remain.

Evolutionist Rant:

My goodness, I love Shalini…..

Gerry Rzeppa, a creationist loon, sent me an e-mail a while back about his short children’s book which he claims refutes Richard Dawkins’ arguments. Although I do not think that his book answers anything or makes any coherent points whatsoever, I am reproducing his first e-mail so that my readers could check it out for themselves:

Hello.
My name is Gerry Rzeppa and I’ve written a short children’s book in answer to the works of Richard Dawkins. Unlike his ponderous tomes, however, mine has lots of pictures, rhymes, and can be read, cover to cover, in ten minutes.
I’m offering the doctor $64,000 of my very own money if he will join me before a live audience to answer a single question about my little poem. I’ll read the story aloud and pose the mystery query. He’ll answer and walk away with the loot. Simple as that.

Thank you for your consideration.

We started exchanging a few e-mails, and I was amazed by the breathtaking stupidity and utter theistarded logic he soon started spewing. Here is a sampling:

You also say that “a key objection to the idea of God is that there is no evidence to show that such a deity exists.” No evidence? Do you think this email just happened? Or do you think these very words are evidence of something intelligent at the other end of the wire? Why or why not?

Regarding your slogan, “We have the fossils. We win.” Are you quite sure? I’ve seen a lot of fossils and I’ve never seen anything conclusive. Anything more than speculative, for that matter! Could you, perhaps, email me pictures of the fossils that show a clear metamorphosis between, say, a fish and a bird? No need to include all of the tens of thousands of intermediate forms, of course. But I’ll need to see a significant sampling before I’ll be ready to concede that “you win.”

A metamorphosis from a fish to a bird?! Now I’ve seen it all – until the next theistarded loon comes along, of course.

For all the huffing and puffing that this loon is doing claiming that he has answered Dawkins’ objections to the theistarded belief in an imaginary sky-daddy, he is hopelessly ignorant about the basic facts of evolutionary biology. Leaving aside the fact that my imaginary mentally retarded six-year-old half-brother could write better books than this loon, his statement shows us that most creationists don’t have the slightest clue as to what they are arguing about.

Oh, to be single and 25 years younger….;)

Etc.
Here is a good collection of rants; among these this is my favorite one. It described how I felt after the 2004 Presidential election.

Two other bits of “harsh humor”

We are doing Bin Laden’s work for him!

This is for a Chicago Law Firm that specializes in family law. Obviously this is aimed at wealthy folks; if most of us could have married people that looked like those photos, we would have! It is an established fact that most folks marry people of similar physical attractiveness.

But this ad kind of reminds me of this joke:

Finally: I admit that I back Obama and I don’t want to see McCain elected. But this is downright low.

Gosh, I didn’t think that Obama would stoop so low as to put these ladies up to this…
