Good news for Americans who don't like capitalism -- President Obama will easily defeat Mitt Romney in November.

I've been studying the USA Electoral Map. It shows there are nine toss up states. Romney needs those states more than Obama, but Obama is expected to win all of them except North Carolina. 270 electoral votes are needed to win the election and Romney has virtually zero chance of winning enough swing states to  reach that number.

I look forward to more downgrades of our country's credit rating, never ending high unemployment, government spending out of control, and job creators being punished with higher taxes.

Obama doesn't much care for capitalism. He prefers big government. Apparently most Americans want the same thing.

One of Romney's problems is he had to suck up to Republican retards (also known as Christian scum) to win the nomination. So Romney promised to make abortion illegal (as if the private lives of Americans is his business), and he promised to get tough on illegal immigration which cost him the hispanic vote.

Romney's worst problem probably can't be fixed. He's boring. He does not excite anyone, not even the people who are going to vote for him.

UPDATE 8/1/2012:

The polls continue to get worse for Romney. The election is virtually over with. Obama won.

To young people who plan to work hard all their lives, live frugally, and make wise investments, don't bother because Obama is going to steal most of your money before you get a chance to spend it. Like most liberal loons, Obama believes success is a bad thing that must be punished.

And if you're a job creator, you better stop creating jobs right now because you need to save your money to pay the higher taxes Obama wants. Oh wait, you already did stop creating jobs because you have no idea what Obama is going to do to you next.

Please see Why I voted for Obama in 2008 and why I will not vote for Obama in 2012

UPDATE August 8, 2012: There is no hope.

Scientists call creationists idiots because their ideas are stupid and they really are idiots.

A brilliant Canadian scientist with a blog called Sandwalk explains why it's pointless to be nice to creationist idiots.

"I frequently use insulting words to describe stupid people. The most obvious example is my use of 'IDiot' as a shorthand for Intelligent Design Creationist."

"When I use the word 'IDiot' I fully intend to bash the IDiots for their stupid ideas. Why? Because their ideas are stupid and they really are idiots."

"I don't expect to convince the IDiots of the error of their ways any more than they intend to convince scientists by using insulting terms like 'Darwinist,' 'materialist,' and 'stupid.' There's no such thing as 'constructive discourse' with creationists."

Creationists are not just stupid. They have an incurable mental illness. They are batshit crazy. Totally insane. I mean would a normal person throw out 150 years of scientific discoveries to be able to believe in a everything-is-magic fantasy world? In the 21st century? These people are out of their minds, extraordinarily stupid, extremely sick in the head, and virtually all of them are assholes.

Try to reason with these retards? Why bother? It would be like trying to reason with a terrorist or a dog.

The only correct response to a creationist idiot who complains about evolution is "Grow up and educate yourself you fucking idiot. And if you're too lazy or too cowardly to read a book about science then shut the fuck up and get out here."

I once saw on the internet a biologist waste two hours patiently and politely explaining some of the extremely powerful evidence for evolution and at the end of it the creationist asshole wrote "There is no evidence for evolution." Creationists are fucking morons and they're a complete waste of time.

What Darwin Never Knew (NOVA Documentary)

If only Mr. Darwin could magically come back today and be totally amazed by the scientific progress since he wrote On the Origin of Species.

A one hour 52 minute YouTube video and there's a lot more where this came from:

What Darwin Never Knew (NOVA Documentary)

"There is grandeur in this view of life, with its several powers, having been originally breathed into a few forms or into one; and that, whilst this planet has gone cycling on according to the fixed law of gravity, from so simple a beginning endless forms most beautiful and most wonderful have been, and are being, evolved."
-- Charles Darwin

Either permanently or temporarily, I am allowing comments again.

I will see whether or not I get annoyed again. If I come home from work and find out I have to waste my time cleaning up a mess I might have to go back to not allowing comments.

Unlike many blogs you won't have to type something to prove you're a human. I think that's unnecessary bullshit.

There is no comment moderation but if you're an asshole or if you write something I think is inappropriate, the comment gets vaporized.

You might be surprised at what I think is inappropriate. For example, even though I frequently use vulgar language (for example "creationists are fucking idiots") that doesn't necessarily mean I want to see that language in the comments.

To avoid sock puppets, also known as people who use more than one internet name on the same blog, I'm only allowing comments from people with google accounts (which are easy to get if you want one).

Comments are welcome at all posts (there's almost 1,000 posts on this blog). I will get an email when a comment appears. I might write a reply or I might ignore it or I might vaporize it. If my reply says something like "fuck off and die retard" that's a hint for you to not bother me again. Please take the hint.

Censorship is a bad thing and I will try to avoid it, but I'm not going to tolerate excessive stupidity and other things I don't like.

Maybe nobody will write a comment. That would be fine with me.

The universe is trying to kill us.

The religious implications: Earth is a tiny rock in the middle of nowhere in a vast universe and it's completely expendable. There is no magical god that gives a shit about us. There is no god, period, because there is only reality. Magic is not real.

There's too much noise in American cities because this country is infested with stupid assholes.

This New York Times article is about New York but it could be about every asshole-infested American city.

Working or Playing Indoors, New Yorkers Face an Unabated Roar

A bible school in Florida teaches kids anti-science bullshit.

Vacation Bible School teaches kids young-earth creationism

"First Baptist Church in Jacksonville, Florida taught kids this summer that dinosaurs died during Noah's flood."

The penalty for this child abuse should be life in prison or worse.

Fuck off and die Christian assholes.

A fucking idiot wrote "Evolution has way too many flaws, Darwin himself rejected it, because he realized it wasn't real/ true. Neither do I. Scientists use evolution to reject Gods hand in any part of the creation of earth. Evolution is wrong."

These are very young Christians but they're no less insane than older Christians. Christians are permanently stupid their entire lives.

"Evolution has way too many flaws, Darwin himself rejected it, because he realized it wasn't real/ true. Neither do I. Scientists use evolution to reject Gods hand in any part of the creation of earth. Evolution is wrong."

Only a Christian asshole could write so much dishonesty and burning stupidity in one paragraph.

I wrote a comment for the asshole to demand an apology for lying about the father of modern biology.

As if Darwin would throw out his life's work and all the evidence he accumulated. What a fucking moron.

Scientists use evolution to explain the history of life. They don't give a shit about your god delusion you bloody retard.

Evolution has flaws? I noticed the tard didn't list any of those imaginary flaws.

The Christian website has a poll that asks "Do you believe in evolution?" as if basic scientific facts are beliefs. The majority voted against basic scientific facts. Apparently there are anti-science Christians. What a surprise!

The minority of Christian morons who voted for evolution most likely stick their magic Jeebus man in there somewhere which is the same as or worse than denying the whole thing.

I never met a Christian who wasn't an idiot.

UPDATE: I was banned by the cowardly Christian scum at the website I linked to at the beginning of this post. My contempt for Christian assholes grows every day.

The magic Jeebus man was an uneducated moron.

Christianity is bullshit but Christians believe it anyway. They won't admit their fantasies are bullshit but they probably know their fantasies look like bullshit. They know an adult would never buy their bullshit. They know the only chance their children will become religious idiots like their parents is to brainwash them starting at the youngest possible age. Christians know their death cult would go extinct if they had the decency to wait until their children grow up before trying to indoctrinate them.

Try to imagine how difficult it would be to convince an adult (instead of a gullible child) the Jeebus fantasies are real. It would be impossible.

It would be impossible because every Christian fantasy is insane. For example there's the magic Jeebus man, a worthless know-nothing preacher who tells everyone he is the son of the magical master of the universe. If a Christian told an unbrainwashed adult there was a Jew who proved he was the son of god the adult would say "Get away from me you nutjob."

But it gets worse. Jeebus could perform magic tricks and according to Christians he did this frequently. For example there's the walking on water bullshit and the magically duplicating food to feed a large crowd bullshit.

The most ridiculous, most disgusting, and most important magic trick was when the stinking decomposing Jeebus rose from the dead. It's called the Resurrection and the entire Christian death cult completely depends on this bullshit for its existence.

None of it ever happened. Even if magic was real, it's ridiculous to assume a god (another childish fantasy) would single out earth for this special insane treatment.

Of course magic is not real. But Christians believe in magic anyway. They know the miracles are magic tricks but they will never admit that. They know if they call their magical fantasies "magic" they will look like idiots (they are idiots). So they dishonestly and stupidly say miracles are not magic. Instead miracles are miracles.

Right, as if that makes sense. As if a stinking corpse becoming a zombie doesn't require a massive amount of magic.

Another thing about Jeebus. If he was related to the all-knowing magic man of the entire universe, then why was Jeebus an uneducated moron? Jeebus didn't know anything about science. He never heard of evolution. Jeebus thought all creatures were magically created out of nothing, and he believed modern humans were god's favorite apes. Every educated person knows magical creationism is bullshit and every educated person agrees creationists are morons. Jeebus the creationist was an idiot. And Christians worship this imbecile.

Christianity is not just a harmless hobby for cowardly assholes. This death cult causes great harm to the children who get indoctrinated. The kids become permanently stupid and permanently gullible, willing to believe any bullshit if it makes them feel good.

Religious indoctrination is legal. Parents can tell their children anything, even if it's dishonest and even if it ruins their lives. But just because something is legal doesn't change the fact the brainwashers are fucking assholes who belong in prison for child abuse.

If Romney loses the election it will be because he had to suck up to Christian assholes to win the nomination.

Most of the following groups of people will not be voting for Romney.

Liberals because they're stupid.

Hispanics because Romney had to be against immigration to suck up to retarded Republicans.

African Americans because his opponent, Mr. Obama, is an African American, and after centuries of slavery and discrimination who can blame them?

Women because to suck up to Christian assholes Romney said it's OK for government to make decisions about their private lives (whether or not to have an abortion).

I suggest Romney sucked up to Christian scum more than necessary. How can he possibly expect to win the election if one half of the voters (women) hate him?

I'm an economic conservative so of course I'm voting for Romney (instead of a liberal loon who thinks it's a good idea to punish job creators with higher taxes when there are millions of desperate Americans who can't find jobs).

But Romney will probably lose, mostly thanks to America's Christian assholes who think everyone else's private life is their business.

I can't say this often enough: Fuck off and die Christian scum.

Science deniers, also known as Christian retards and Muslim scum, should read these quotes from the National Academy of Sciences.

The best scientists in the world belong to the National Academy of Sciences. And maybe they know a bit more about science than uneducated Christian morons and Muslim terrorists.

These quotes show that the National Academy of Sciences has repeatedly explained why evolution is a basic scientific fact.

That's FACT. Evolution is a bloody FACT. Understand god-soaked assholes?

No, of course you don't understand so why don't you read these quotes and then ask yourselves why you idiots think you know more about science than scientists who have won Nobel prizes.

Sorry if I sound a bit rude, but since you fucking idiots have repeatedly refused to grow up, I would be dishonest if I pretended to be nice to you worthless uneducated flat-earthers.

Scientists use the term 'fact' to refer to a scientific explanation that has been tested and confirmed so many times that there is no longer a compelling reason to keep testing it or looking for additional examples. In that respect, the past and continuing occurrence of evolution is a scientific fact. Because the evidence supporting it is so strong, scientists no longer question whether biological evolution has occurred and is continuing to occur. Instead, they investigate the mechanisms of evolution, how rapidly evolution can take place, and related questions.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
Scientists no longer question the basic facts of evolution. The concept has withstood extensive testing by tens of thousands of specialists in biology, medicine, anthropology, geology, chemistry, and other fields. Discoveries in different fields have reinforced one another, and evidence for evolution has continued to accumulate for 150 years.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

The concept of biological evolution is one of the most important ideas ever generated by the application of scientific methods to the natural world. The evolution of all the organisms that live on Earth today from ancestors that lived in the past is at the core of genetics, biochemistry, neurobiology, physiology, ecology, and other biological disciplines. It helps to explain the emergence of new infectious diseases, the development of antibiotic resistance in bacteria, the agricultural relationships among wild and domestic plants and animals, the composition of Earth's atmosphere, the molecular machinery of the cell, the similarities between human beings and other primates, and countless other features of the biological and physical world. As the great geneticist and evolutionist Theodosius Dobzhansky wrote in 1973, ‘Nothing in biology makes sense except in the light of evolution.’

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

THEORY: In science, a well-substantiated explanation of some aspect of the natural world that can incorporate facts, laws, inferences, and tested hypotheses. The contention that evolution should be taught as a "theory, not as a fact" confuses the common use of these words with the scientific use. In science, theories do not turn into facts through the accumulation of evidence. Rather, theories are the end points of science. They are understandings that develop from extensive observation, experimentation, and creative reflection. They incorporate a large body of scientific facts, laws, tested hypotheses, and logical inferences. In this sense, evolution is one of the strongest and most useful scientific theories we have.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Science is a particular way of knowing about the world. In science, explanations are limited to those based on observations and experiments that can be substantiated by other scientists. Explanations that cannot be based on empirical evidence are not a part of science.

In the quest for understanding, science involves a great deal of careful observation that eventually produces an elaborate written description of the natural world. Scientists communicate their findings and conclusions to other scientists through publications, talks at conferences, hallway conversations, and many other means. Other scientists then test those ideas and build on preexisting work. In this way, the accuracy and sophistication of descriptions of the natural world tend to increase with time, as subsequent generations of scientists correct and extend the work done by their predecessors.

Progress in science consists of the development of better explanations for the causes of natural phenomena. Scientists never can be sure that a given explanation is complete and final. Some of the hypotheses advanced by scientists turn out to be incorrect when tested by further observations or experiments. Yet many scientific explanations have been so thoroughly tested and confirmed that they are held with great confidence.

The theory of evolution is one of these well-established explanations. An enormous amount of scientific investigation since the mid-19th century has converted early ideas about evolution proposed by Darwin and others into a strong and well-supported theory. Today, evolution is an extremely active field of research, with an abundance of new discoveries that are continually increasing our understanding of how evolution occurs.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

How Science Works

The study of evolution provides an excellent example of how scientists go about their work. They observe nature and ask testable questions about the natural world, test those questions through experiment and new observations, and construct explanations of evolution based on evidence. As scientists gather new results and findings, they continue to refine their ideas. Explanations are altered or sometimes rejected when compelling contradictory evidence comes to light.

Some scientific explanations are so well established that no new evidence is likely to alter them. The explanation becomes a scientific theory. In everyday language a theory means a hunch or speculation. Not so in science, the word theory refers to a comprehensive explanation of an important feature of nature that is supported by many facts gathered over time. Theories also allow scientists to make predictions about as yet unobserved phenomena.

A good example is the theory of gravity. After hundreds of years of observation and experiment, the basic facts of gravity are understood. The theory of gravity is an explanation of those basic facts. Scientists then use the theory to make predictions about how gravity will function in different circumstances. Such predictions have been verified in countless experiments. Evolution stands on an equally solid foundation of observation, experiment, and confirming evidence.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Creationists sometimes claim that scientists have a vested interest in the concept of biological evolution and are unwilling to consider other possibilities. But this claim, too, misrepresents science. Scientists continually test their ideas against observations and submit their work to their colleagues for critical peer review of ideas, evidence, and conclusions before a scientific paper is published in any respected scientific journal. Unexplained observations are eagerly pursued because they can be signs of important new science or problems with an existing hypothesis or theory. History is replete with scientists challenging accepted theory by offering new evidence and more comprehensive explanations to account for natural phenomena. Also, science has a competitive element as well as a cooperative one. If one scientist clings to particular ideas despite evidence to the contrary, another scientist will attempt to replicate relevant experiments and will not hesitate to publish conflicting evidence. If there were serious problems in evolutionary science, many scientists would be eager to win fame by being the first to provide a better testable alternative. That there are no viable alternatives to evolution in the scientific literature is not because of vested interests or censorship but because evolution has been and continues to be solidly supported by evidence.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

But today there is no scientific doubt about the close evolutionary relationships between humans and all other primates. Using the same scientific methods and tools that have been employed to study the evolution of other species, researchers have compiled a large and increasing number of fossil discoveries and compelling new molecular evidence that clearly indicate that the same forces responsible for the evolution of all other life forms on Earth account for the biological evolution of human characteristics.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••

Based on the strength of evidence from DNA comparisons, the common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees lived approximately 6 to 7 million years ago in Africa. The evolutionary tree leading from this ancestral species to modern humans contains a number of side branches, representing populations and species that eventually went extinct. At various times in the past, the planet appears to have been populated by several human-like species.

A liberal extremist at a very popular pro-science anti-religion blog asked "who are you voting for?" There are 113 comments so far and exactly zero said they are voting for Romney.

The problem with liberal loons is they only know other liberals, and they never read the Wall Street Journal. They live in a fantasy world where everyone worships big government and where everyone cries like babies when somebody points out that big government makes economic progress impossible.

Our unemployment rate seems to be permanently stuck above 8% and that doesn't include people who stopped looking for jobs because there's no hope and people who work part time because it's impossible to find a full time job.

Just maybe the unemployment problem has something to do with liberal loon Obama who has been president of the United States for almost four years.

Liberals think success is a bad thing that should be punished with higher taxes, never caring that the most successful small business owners, also known as job creators, are going to have to fire people instead of adding new workers to pay those taxes.

I see very little difference between liberals and creationists. They're both just plain stupid.

Some extraordinarily beautiful music from Loreena McKennitt

The dark night of the soul

Upon a darkened night
The flame of love was burning in my breast
And by a lantern bright
I fled my house while all in quiet rest

Shrouded by the night
And by the secret stair I quickly fled
The veil concealed my eyes
While all within lay quiet as the dead

[Chorus:]
Oh night thou was my guide
Of night more loving than the rising sun
Oh night that joined the lover
To the beloved one
Transforming each of them into the other

Upon that misty night
In secrecy, beyond such mortal sight
Without a guide or light
Than that which burned so deeply in my heart
That fire t'was led me on
And shone more bright than of the midday sun
To where he waited still
It was a place where no one else could come

[Chorus]

Within my pounding heart
Which kept itself entirely for him
He fell into his sleep
Beneath the cedars all my love I gave
And by the fortress walls
The wind would brush his hair against his brow
And with its smoothest hand
Caressed my every sense it would allow

[Chorus]

I lost myself to him
And laid my face upon my lover's breast
And care and grief grew dim
As in the morning's mist became the light
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
There they dimmed amongst the lilies fair
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The 2nd song, Full Circle, is a bit god-soaked, but I agree with a YouTube comment: Her music is just stunning.

Full Circle

Stars were falling deep in the darkness
as prayers rose softly, petals at dawn
And as I listened, your voice seemed so clear
so calmly you were calling your god

Somewhere the sun rose, o'er dunes in the desert
such was the stillness, I ne'er felt before
Was this the question, pulling, pulling, pulling you
in your heart, in your soul, did you find rest there?

Elsewhere a snowfall, the first in the winter
covered the ground as the bells filled the air
You in your robes sang, calling, calling, calling him
in your heart, in your soul, did you find peace there?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This might be the longest song ever written:

Loreena McKennitt The Lady Of Shalott

On either side of the river lie
Long fields of barley and of rye,
That clothe the world and meet the sky;
And thro' the field the road run by
To many-towered Camelot;
And up and down the people go,
Gazing where the lilies blow
Round an island there below,
The island of Shalott.

Willows whiten, aspens quiver,
Little breezes dusk and shiver
Thro' the wave that runs for ever
By the island in the river
Flowing down to Camelot.
Four grey walls, and four grey towers,
Overlook a space of flowers,
And the silent isle imbowers
The Lady of Shalott.

Only reapers, reaping early,
In among the bearded barley
Hear a song that echoes cheerly
From the river winding clearly
Down to tower'd Camelot;
And by the moon the reaper weary,
Piling sheaves in uplands airy,
Listening, whispers "'tis the fairy
The Lady of Shalott."

There she weaves by night and day
A magic web with colours gay,
She has heard a whisper say,
A curse is on her if she stay
To look down to Camelot.
She knows not what the curse may be,
And so she weaveth steadily,
And little other care hath she,
The Lady of Shalott.

And moving through a mirror clear
That hangs before her all the year,
Shadows of the world appear.
There she sees the highway near
Winding down to Camelot;
And sometimes thro' the mirror blue
The Knights come riding two and two.
She hath no loyal Knight and true,
The Lady Of Shalott.

But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror's magic sights,
For often thro' the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, went to Camelot;
Or when the Moon was overhead,
Came two young lovers lately wed.
"I am half sick of shadows," said
The Lady Of Shalott.

A bow-shot from her bower-eaves,
He rode between the barley sheaves,
The sun came dazzling thro' the leaves,
And flamed upon the brazen greaves
Of bold Sir Lancelot.
A red-cross knight for ever kneel'd
To a lady in his shield,
That sparkled on the yellow field,
Beside remote Shalott.

His broad clear brow in sunlight glow'd;
On burnish'd hooves his war-horse trode;
From underneath his helmet flow'd
His coal-black curls as on he rode,
As he rode back to Camelot.
From the bank and from the river
he flashed into the crystal mirror,
"Tirra Lirra," by the river
Sang Sir Lancelot.

She left the web, she left the loom,
She made three paces taro' the room,
She saw the water-lily bloom,
She saw the helmet and the plume,
She looked down to Camelot.
Out flew the web and floated wide;
The mirror cracked from side to side;
"The curse is come upon me," cried
The Lady of Shalott.

In the stormy east-wind straining,
The pale yellow woods were waning,
The broad stream in his banks complaining.
Heavily the low sky raining
Over towered Camelot;
Down she came and found a boat
Beneath a willow left afloat,
And round about the prow she wrote
The Lady of Shalott

And down the river's dim expanse
Like some bold seer in a trance,
Seeing all his own mischance -
With a glassy countenance
Did she look to Camelot.
And at the closing of the day
She loosed the chain and down she lay;
The broad stream bore her far away,
The Lady of Shalott.

Heard a carol, mournful, holy,
Chanted loudly, chanted lowly,
Till her blood was frozen slowly,
And her eyes were darkened wholly,
Turn'd to towered Camelot.
For ere she reach'd upon the tide
The first house by the water-side,
Singing in her song she died,
The Lady of Shalott.

Under tower and balcony,
By garden-wall and gallery,
A gleaming shape she floated by,
Dead-pale between the houses high,
Silent into Camelot.
Out upon the wharfs they came,
Knight and Burgher, Lord and Dame,
And round the prow they read her name,
The Lady of Shalott.

Who is this? And what is here?
And in the lighted palace near
Died the sound of royal cheer;
And they crossed themselves for fear,
All the Knights at Camelot;
But Lancelot mused a little space
He said, "She has a lovely face;
God in his mercy lend her grace,
The Lady of Shalott."

These two websites have everything, a creationist who learned how to accept reality, a biologist who is angry at him because he dishonestly insults scientists, and in the comments of the 1st website the burning stupidity of creationist scum.

This is the website of the creationist who grew up but dishonestly attacks scientists, and also this website has comments from stupid assholes who still deny basic scientific facts that make Jeebus cry, and comments from other stupid assholes who pretend the Christian death cult and science can be compatible.

This website belongs to the angry biologist (AKA PZ) who has no tolerance for Christian scum who are too lazy to read a book about science.

Creationists, the evidence for evolution is available for anyone who can be bothered to actually look at it. If you are still a science denier or if you wonder why it took you so long to grow up, it's your own fault for being willfully ignorant. Don't blame the biologists who have been trying to explain this stuff to everyone. The problem is you creationists are too cowardly and too lazy to educate yourselves.

So grow up creationists, and if you can't do that then shut the fuck up.

One more thing Christian tards. If you think you can accept both evolution and your magic Jeebus man, explain why your dead Jeebus was a creationist. The truth is science has repeatedly killed your death cult. You won't admit it because you're cowards.

The fucking idiots of the Christian Creationist Discovery Institute should be ignored.

My policy is all creationists, both the professional idiots and the amateur idiots, are stupid fucking assholes and it's a complete waste of time to communicate with them. It would be like trying to reason with a flat-earther. If anyone is stupid enough to still deny evolution in the 21st century then they are incurably retarded and equal to dogs.

The brilliant Carl Zimmer who has a blog at Discover Magazine talks to creationist scum anyway, no matter how pointless it is. His wasting time is described at Four Days of Fusion Chromosome Freak-Out.

At this post Carl Zimmer shows how the fucking idiots of the Christian Creationist Discovery Institute defend their Magic Jeebus Man with dishonest quote mining.

If it was up to me the Christian scum of the Creationist Discovery Institute, who are constantly attacking science education in America, would be put in prison for treason.

All Christians are assholes. Fuck off Christians.

Sophisticated theology equals sophisticated bullshit.

Perhaps Colorado could tighten up their gun control laws a little bit.

Americans love their weapons. We have about two or three hundred million guns and about one hundred million gun owners. I'm not one of those people by the way.

With guns so easy to obtain, legally or illegally, we have to deal with the occasional wacko who for example takes Batman movies a bit too seriously. Our massacres are so frequent it's almost become boring to read about it.

Our flags are now at half mast until sunset July 25, 2012. Some people think our president ordered our flags to be at half mast for political reasons during an election year but I looked it up, this is a normal procedure for when this many people are murdered at the same time.

People from civilized countries might think we Americans are bit nuts to have so many weapons, and they're right. The gun business here is out of control and politicians are afraid of upsetting millions of gun owners with better gun control laws. It has something to do with the 2nd Amendment of our Bill of Rights.

Too bad about those people who thought they were going to enjoy a movie but had to deal with an insane asshole instead. Unfortunately it will happen again. Gun control laws can be improved but that won't stop our idiots from getting their 15 minutes of fame.

Since this is the United States of Jeebus, they had to stick the Lord into this:

As a mark of respect for the victims of the senseless acts of violence perpetrated on July 20, 2012, in Aurora, Colorado, by the authority vested in me as President of the United States by the Constitution and the laws of the United States of America, I hereby order that the flag of the United States shall be flown at half-staff at the White House and upon all public buildings and grounds, at all military posts and naval stations, and on all naval vessels of the Federal Government in the District of Columbia and throughout the United States and its Territories and possessions until sunset, July 25, 2012. I also direct that the flag shall be flown at half-staff for the same length of time at all United States embassies, legations, consular offices, and other facilities abroad, including all military facilities and naval vessels and stations.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this twentieth day of July, in the year of our Lord two thousand twelve, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-seventh.

Magical creationism is only a symptom of a disease.

Creationism is only a symptom of a disease and that disease is religion. The creationist must be told his god fantasy is insane and if he’s not willing to throw that out, he’s a waste of time.

If the creationist idiot forever remains a creationist idiot, who cares? It’s his wasted life. Maybe the moron enjoys the ridicule. Let him continue being a laughing stock. Just make sure he understands that if he ever tries to stick his breathtaking stupidity into our nation’s schools, he will be ridiculed relentlessly until he learns how to shut up about what he knows nothing about.

At another blog a cured victim of religious indoctrination said “I was never convinced of anything by mealy-mouthed atheists pretending to think that religion was a reasonable position that they just didn’t personally agree with.”

Exactly right. Atheist wimps and god-soaked scientists like Ken Miller are worthless. The source of the problem must be attacked. And that would be the magical master of the universe, the most disgusting and most idiotic fantasy ever invented.

Eradicate all religious superstitions and then all other problems will be fixed.

Hey India, what's your fucking problem?

I didn't know India was still living in the Dark Ages. Now I know it. Their out of control government suppresses free speech, especially when somebody criticizes the insanity of the religious morons who live there.

Another off topic post about chess

At chess.com I wrote the following post at http://www.chess.com/forum/view/general/am-i-the-only-chessplayer-in-the-world-who-loves-descriptive-notation:

I noticed the greatest chess player in world history, Bobby Fischer, used descriptive notation. I still prefer it because descriptive notation is more like the English language than algebraic notation.

From wikipedia: "Algebraic notation is more concise and requires less effort to avoid ambiguity".

For me that's an advantage for descriptive notation because it forces me to consider using a different piece to make a move, for example to use the queen knight instead of the king knight to capture something.

When the computer does all the work there's no problem, but when I have to write down the moves it's easier for me to write 1. N-KB3 N-KB3 instead of 1. Nf3 Nf6. It's easier for me to remember the knight is going to the king bishop file instead of the f file. And it confuses me to have to remember that Black's 3rd rank is rank 6 in algebraic notation.

I also noticed that when reading a chess book it's easier to study a game without using a chess board when the notation is descriptive.

Am I the only one who is still prefers descriptive notation?

From http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descriptive_notation: 

By identifying each square with reference to the player on move, descriptive notation better reflects the symmetry of the game's starting position ("both players opened with P-K4 and planned to play B-KN2 as soon as possible"), and because the pieces captured are named, it is easy to skim over a game record and see which ones have been taken at any particular point.

The maxim that "a pawn on the seventh is worth two on the fifth" makes sense from both Black's perspective as well as White's perspective.

English descriptive notation is also particular to chess, not to any other game.

A comment at another chess notation thread at chess.com:

Descriptive notation:

"But soft, what light through yonder file breaks

It is on the back rank, and it is a queen

Arise, fair knight, and kill the envious rook

Who is already pale and sick with grief"

Algebraic notation:

22. Qe8 Nxd8
