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?

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.

Dude.

Whose looks? I commented on no one’s looks. I commented on previous comments by conservatives.

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.

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.

Media Matters dishonest editing in support of their “smear” argument exposed

And that was dishonest.

Also, the $1,300 and a dream myth is evaporating.

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.

Hello? Conservatives who were going all goofy over the “hot” ACORN madam?

Where’d you guys go?

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?

Horrorshow!

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.
