She’s awesome. Smart, sarcastic, and attractive to boot.
Oh, and Kirk Cameron and Ray Comfort can FOAD.
I love this woman, she’s brilliant and reminds of Marina Orlova aka “Hot for Words”. Maybe, O’Reilly will have her on his show. **sigh, rolling eyes**
Question, OW: Have you changed your mind about the “new atheists?” Because this young woman is definitely a member of that club, and you’ve previously described how you weren’t a fan of their (our) tactics.
I know! I want to watch this woman take on Orly Taitz.
I don’t think you all appreciate Kirk’s achievement. He’s out-Pantloaded the Pantload on this one. Maybe his book will be called “Evolutionary Fascism.”
This women is amazing
All of this creationism nonsense really underscores for me how futile it is to try and have a reasoned argument with a lot of these people.
The ironic thing is that there’s nothing about evolution that makes it impossible for someone to believe in God at the same time. You just can’t believe in a completely literal interpretation of the Bible.
“The ironic thing is that there’s nothing about evolution that makes it impossible for someone to believe in God at the same time. You just can’t believe in a completely literal interpretation of the Bible.”
I have said this many times over to both my Christianist uncle and my athiest cousin. I just get blank stares or an indignant response.
Count me in as a Christian who believes in evolution.
I think I’m in Love!
HAHAHHA I like her and her hair(even though it was irritating me a little bit).
mambochicken23: my opposition is in the new atheist attitude towards the entirety of religion. When its aimed at stupidity like creationism I am wholeheartedly a fan and enthusiast.
WIN.

Hello? Conservatives who were going all goofy over the “hot” ACORN madam?
Where’d you guys go?
Hot, smart and funny; she’s a triple threat.
Kirk Cameron? Not so much.
Yes, but he’s a nice boy who irons his underpants.
All that was old and stupid is new again, and even stupider.
They are republishing the Origin of Species, with an introduction that they’ve written to show that it isn’t really so? My oh my, that is exactly what a busybody added to Copernicus’ bookDe Revolutionibus, in which he said that the Earth moves — but according to the preface, he really didn’t mean it. “Just a theory”, sort of, but in that case just a convenient computing gimmick, not the Truth.
By 1616 things had heated up, so the Inquisition took the book out of circulation to make “corrections” to make it clear that Copernicus didn’t really mean it.
Then they banned Galileo for 100 years, and then allowed his Dialogue to be published — with corrections to explain that it wasn’t really so!
What are we to make of this? Simple: these gormless bozos can’t even think up their own stupidities.
Makes me want to learn the Russian tongue.
Horrorshow!
She is apparently Romanian.
God hates guys with man perms like Kirk
My bad. Romanian is also a lovely language, I understand.
After she almost single-handedly dismantles a corrupt organization on a $1,300 budget and a hunch, maybe we’ll have more to say. I’m surprised that your first and only comment about her has to do with her looks,though, Quibbie. And that because a woman is attractive and her video shows up on a liberal blog that you wonder why we aren’t here to comment on her looks?

Oh indeed, there is more to say about the ACORN brouhaha.
Text of H.R.3571 – Defund ACORN Act with a nice little passage:
“Any organization that has filed a fraudulent form with any Federal or State regulatory agency.”
In other words, the language is broad enough so that any entity on the gubnit’ teat committing improprieties can get their funding yanked (and there’s quite an impressive list) all without the assistance of a 5th tier wingnut dressing like a whore.
This may be the best case of wingnuts hitting themselves since Kenneth Gladney.
single-handedly dismantles a corrupt organization
I bet the people walking in to their local ACORN offices today would be surprised that its been “dismantle[d]“.
Also, the $1,300 and a dream myth is evaporating.
Anybody who enjoyed this (for reasons other than the eye candy aspect) would also enjoy Thunderfoot himself, the other youtuber she mentions.
You might want to check who’s supplying that information, OW. Sorry.
Media Matters dishonest editing in support of their “smear” argument exposed
And that was dishonest.
I like eye candy. And her English is very good.
I don’t know if I would trust any copy of ‘Origin’ published by these guys. They could have altered any part of the text slightly enough that no one would really notice, but enough that it could make the theories less plausible or comprehensible. (Unfortunately, Darwin did enough of that himself by writing in that oh-so-verbose 19th century style where scientists had to use 3 times as many words as necessary to get the point across)
If I got ahold of a copy, I would bring it to my next bonfire party. Book paper is usually good starter material.
This guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ernst_W._Mayr did a much better job of explaining the different parts of Darwin’s theories. If you really want to promote Darwin, buy yourself a copy of one of his books, and lend it out. Or have your friends and family look up the 5 theories of Darwin themselves. The Internet is a great thing.
I have read On the Origin of Species several times. There is a reason Darwin was one of the greatest scientists, and why this is one of the greatest works of science. It is a great work on every level, and everyone needs to have read it.
Darwin uses observations any of us can make, and leads to inescapable conclusions based on a body of evidence. Creationists can’t address it as a whole, so they pick and worry at phrases or punctuation or vocabulary.
The book speaks for itself. Read it. And creationists, weep.
Aside to O-Dub from an atheist who rarely discusses that subject. You say that although you disagree with those who mock religion in general, you agree with those who mock a religious tradition with which you do not agree, i.e. creationism.
That is a slippery theological slope you are looking down with a statement like that. As the saying goes, I believe in only one god fewer than you do.
I’m surprised that your first and only comment about her has to do with her looks,though, Quibbie.
Whose looks? I commented on no one’s looks. I commented on previous comments by conservatives.
You wanted us to comment on her “hot”-ness, and that’s in no way a reference to her looks?
Dude.
Take it up with Impy.
I can recommend Mayr’s “What Evolution Is” for anyone interested in the pure science angle. I’d recommend “Tower of Bable’ by Pennock for folks looking for more coverage of the creationsim/evolution debate – it’s worn fairly well despite it being about a decade old, so it won’t have anything on the Dover trial,m but it addresses ID pretty well.
She’s awesome. But don’t take her advice and pick up the book – giving away books for free makes money for these people, by laundering nonprofit donations into profit: a for-profit owned by the ministers prints the books, or purchases them from a printer, and then the non-profit purchases them at a markup and gives them away for free. It’s a perfectly legal money laundering scam and most of the big-name “give valuable stuff away for free” ministers are doing some variant of it.
And if more people pick up the “free” stuff, they have an excuse to print more of it.
So don’t take their “free” stuff – they’re making money when you do.
But don’t take her advice and pick up the book – giving away books for free makes money for these people…
I think it would still be worth it to accept a book, then loudly ripping out the bullshit pages, pulling out some sturdy shears and cutting them into tiny pieces, then tossing them out. “Thanks,” I’d then say. That would be awesome and worth whatever benefit the Kirk Cameron organization got. Where are they distributing these again?
