The Smug Baldy Speaks

President Bush takes some direct questions after his announcement of a $50 Billion supplemental to battle zombies. Bush vs. Zombies isn’t just a Homeland Security priority, I think it’s an instant classic:

“How about their overall creepiness?”

Nobody should be required to take a neutral stance on stupidity. Indeed - here at SmugBaldy, we’re vehemently anti-stupid, so this is the sort of thing that really irks me. I had previously written a short piece about how creationists were trying to worm their way into the hall of power in Texas, […]

Over at ThinkProgress, there’s a small piece about President Bush’s remarks about something he’s learned from his visit to the Rawandan Genocide Museum:.
BUSH: A clear lesson I learned in the museum was that outside forces that tend to divide people up inside their country are unbelievably counterproductive. In other words, people came from other countries […]

You’re surrounded by Ghost Whisperers, Allison DuBuois, and freaky kids seeing dead people, so it’s only (super)natural to ask yourself, “Hey, could I be psychic?”

One such issue is education. While the uneducated and undereducated aren’t necessarily […]

The news out of Frankfort, KY is that Park Rangers in the state are increasingly challenged by visitors who had also visited the Creation Museum:
The Creation Museum, which presents the Bible’s creation story as fact supported by science, was opened in late May in Petersburg by the Answers in Genesis Christian ministry.
And there might be […]

Someone posted a stupid comment yesterday in my post about comedian Sylvia Browne’s horrible accuracy for her 2006 predictions, and I wondered why it was that my claims were treated with such disdain, while Sylvia’s wrong predictions (like the one that Arnold Schwarzenegger would lose his re-election bid) were glossed over. Then it occurred […]

For better than 30 years, the Republican party has consistently misused and abused science and scientific knowledge for the purpose of advancing the social agenda of party conservatives, and promoting the economic agenda of its large corporate supporters. That’s not to say that Democrats have not also abused science as well, but the Republicans […]
