Archives for this talk page:  , (new)

Between the first two lines is the included part of the template, please limit this to ten entries. When you add one, please move one at the bottom "below the line" This page is for non-Conservapedia material. Please put "newsy" Conservapedia-related material here, and the really good stuff here instead.

Only -120 more days to find the weapons of mass destruction.

• Watch some clips from Expelled... and be prepared to cringe!
• Charlton Heston Dies at 84. RIP Mr. Heston. Even though we may not agree with all your views, America is still the land of free speech ... and almost free gun ownership.
• NYT: "Americans are more dissatisfied with the country’s direction than at any time since the New York Times/CBS News poll began asking about the subject in the early 1990s, according to the latest poll. In the poll, 81 percent of respondents said they believed that 'things have pretty seriously gotten off on the wrong track,' up from 69 percent a year ago and 35 percent in early 2003."
• The drama continues! PZ Myers now "infiltrates" a moderated conference call, the transcript here. (How one infiltrates a moderated conference call is a mystery!) Apparently, the Expelled producers want to... control the media and not allow alternative views. Hmm.
• Girl dies when parents pray rather than seek medical help. Similar tragedy: Sadly, another girl's parents did the same thing to her three weeks earlier.
• We're all going to die. Perhaps one of you science-y people can say something to calm me down about this.... (please fuel one of our editor's statistics-mania by reading (and commenting, please) on his relevant blog post.)
• Geert Wilders' controversial film about Islam, Fitna, has been pulled from the web by the UK site host LiveLeak, after threats to its staff. However, it is still available on You Tube.1 & 2
• Everyone cares that Barack Obama has links to a controversial pastor, but no-one cares that John McCain actively seeks the endorsement of right, wing, fundamentalist lunatics. Spread the word.
• Richard Dawkins reviews Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed on his website.
• Another reminder of what a fundamentalist religion, with a willing state apparatus, can do. Terrifying. UPDATE: Especially terrifying when you consider the results of this survey (from the EU).
• PZ Myers is expelled from Expelled... and more hilarity ensues, but I won't steal the punchline. UPDATE: The Discovery Institute claims that someone "stoops to gate-crashing." When will the ID-ers accept that Expelled will be public and open for anyone to criticize? And what are they so afraid of, anyway? (Probably what they're afraid of is reviews like this one.)
• Churchman castigates British PM.
• Happy fifth birthday, Iraq War! I hope you enjoyed your party favours of 4,000 dead US troops, over a 100,000 dead Iraqis, half a trillion dollars in taxpayer money, and a ruined Iraqi infrastructure!

The entries below have been included previously. If you remove an entry from the included portion of this template please add it here.

• What is this? Conservative talk show hosts.... Encouraging Deceit? But only the Liberals do that
• Apparently the new move by YEC nutjobs is to play "docent" at museums and explain what the exhibits really mean!
• The truly sad thing, Dennis Prager actually finds these responses logical.
• The state of — wonder of wonders — Georgia — brilliantly decides to execute a man on the basis of highly inconclusive evidence (see the AI summary). Help save Troy Davis.
• You are a concerned teacher at a small town public middle school. You write a true-to-life stageplay about schoolyard bullying. You intend to have your students perform it at school. Just remember three things: (1) Your principal will probably cancel it at the last minute. (2) You may still be able to stage the play off campus. But (3) if you do, the school district will probably "investigate" you.
• Apparently, homosexuality is worse than terrorism, at least according to one Oklahoma state representative's shocking remarks. Send a letter the governor decrying this bigotry.
• The resignation of a top US commander in the Middle East fuels speculation that a war with Iran will come before -120 days are up.
• Animated goat found on 5000 year old pottery. This displeases the LORD Jerboa.
• 51st State? Do we have to slavishly copy the US?
• The latest Expelled news: Film critic Roger Moore is disinvited to a screening of a movie that will shortly be public. (Scared of real criticism are we?)
• It's not just wine, expensive placebos work better say researchers.
• Shame at Vatican football competition.
• From West Virginia: bring back the four Rs: readin, 'ritin, 'rithmetic, and rifles!
• ABC's new drama, "Eli Stone," promotes anti-vaccine hysteria, and the producer is an intelligent design advocate! Behold, what the writer's strike hath wrought.
• Jerusalem gunman shot by student (who happened to be a soldier). How long before the gun lobby take this up as a justification for mass gun ownership?
• Vaccine Injury Court finds that one child with an extremely rare preexisting disorder ended up with autism like symptoms following a battery of vaccinations. CPers will begin wetting themselves with glee any minute now.
• Welcome to Virginia, ladies. Have a miscarriage, go to jail.
• Texans vote against an anti-evolution candidate, as has happened before. Why is it that creationists can't seem to get elected?
• Oh dear! Homeschooling is illegal!
• A "student review" (by an ID'er) of the upcoming propaganda event Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed talks of the "specific problems with academic freedom." (Perhaps the author wants academic terrorism?) The review admits "a few cheap shots at Dawkins," as well.
• Only a sexually frustrated place like Texas could have produced the likes of George W. Bush. Unfortunately, this decision came too late to save the world.
• Whaling protesters hurl rotten butter - accused of throwing acid.
• Sign up now for the International Conference on Creationism in Pittsburgh, PA, August 3-7, 2008!
• "About two years ago I hit a wall with it. I said I was going to listen to my inner voice. The whole vaccination process is based on fear of getting diseases but I would rather put my faith in God to heal diseases." Who needs science when you hear voices?
• Savin' your body, not just your soul. The latest fad from America: "The Jesus Diet".
• It's not just Conservapedia sysops who plagiarise articles. White House officials do too! (For historic reference, remember this?)
• We're all aware of denying the Holocaust...but is there a term for threatening a holocaust?
• It seems that the Boy Scouts of America isn't the only organization that denies membership to atheists. Here is a followup article and some letters to the editor. Update: Another followup article. (To some readers, merely writing about anti-atheist discrimination makes the columnist "anti-God" and a member of the "anti-religious movement.")
• A recent article in Answers Research Journal, entitled "An Apology and Unification Theory for the Reconciliation of Physical Matter and Metaphysical Cognizance," seems like a parody. In fact, it's so blazingly close to another "scholarly" hoax - the Sokal Affair - that it just has to be. Opinions?
• The United States is going into a recession, being beaten to death by the Euro, and gas prices are at an all-time high. President Bush's response? I hadn't heard that. Let's make the tax cuts permanent!

• According to John McCain "No American argues against our military presence in Korea or Japan or Germany or Kuwait or other places, or Turkey..." Really? I've heard arguments against that from both liberals and conservatives. You really that out of touch, Johnny?
