How Appropriate A fake rock band reunites to save us from a fake crisis. I guess they figure someone turned the heat all the way up to eleven. Posted by Rand Simberg at April 25, 2007 10:37 AMTrackBack URL for this entry:

Before I clicked the link I was afraid it was Milli Vanilli. Posted by Stephen Macklin at April 25, 2007 11:30 AMHey, I gave you a hint. Posted by Rand Simberg at April 25, 2007 11:34 AMI thought rock bands were busy saving Africa and feeding the hungry. Did they finish up with that? Posted by Carl Pham at April 25, 2007 12:19 PMI was gonna audition for them,but then I heard about the other drummers.... Posted by Frantic Freddie at April 25, 2007 02:45 PMLink doesn't work (maybe you've slashdotted it), but I'm going to assume by fake rock you are talking about U2. Posted by Adrasteia at April 25, 2007 05:58 PMI figured The Monkees. Now it's more fun to guess, I don't want to click... Posted by Carl Pham at April 25, 2007 06:09 PMYou're showing your age Carl! (OK, I admit it.... I thought Monkees too) Posted by Cecil Trotter at April 25, 2007 06:54 PMEh? What's that? Speak up, sonny... (shakes walking stick) Posted by Carl Pham at April 25, 2007 07:52 PMLOL That is ironic. I AM using a walking stick, or I was earlier today before I had my torn meniscus operated on. Now I am back to crutches for a few days, I've got to work UP to a cane! Posted by Cecil Trotter at April 25, 2007 08:00 PMWell, best of luck on a speedy recovery, Cecil. Take good care of that knee, I'm sure you'll need it for a long time. Posted by Carl Pham at April 25, 2007 10:31 PMRand: "A fake rock band reunites to save us from a fake crisis." In fact, not only is there is no planetwide crisis, there is no planet. That's right, planet Earth does not exist--it was invented by environmentalists as an excuse to complain. A single ecosystem chained to "physics," as those hippies call their anti-American dogma, is easier to control people with than the unconnected Idiot Universes that surround Republicans and prevent their actions from having consequences. "Scientists"--the name for the priesthood of this godless leftist cult--insist, virtually unanimously, that a global climate crisis is unfolding, and publish their delirious manifestos in left-wing propaganda like Science, Nature, and Geophysical Review Letters. Practically all of the world has been brainwashed by these "facts" and "overwhelming evidence"--their most cynical tactic of all. But not you, Rand. Not you, and not Dick Cheney. Posted by Brian Swiderski at April 26, 2007 07:04 AM Brian is either a clever satirist or hasn't learned that the hockey stick graph is a proven hoax. Posted by triticale at April 26, 2007 07:27 AMTriticale: The hockeystick graph, with minor amendations by its creator due to legitimate criticism, is an accurate presentation of facts. And, as with the overall conclusion of disastrous climate change being likely, it has the overwhelming support of the scientific community. Your claim is fiction. So, not a clever satirist then. Pity. Posted by Andrew Ward at April 26, 2007 09:13 AM"Triticale: The hockeystick graph, with minor amendations by its creator due to legitimate criticism, is an accurate presentation of facts. And, as with the overall conclusion of disastrous climate change being likely, it has the overwhelming support of the scientific community. Your claim is fiction." Translation: I am indeed ignorant enough to drink the AGW Kool-Aid because I was beaten with the Hokey Stick. The Little Ice Age and the Medeval Warming Period are made-up. Oh Yeah!: "The Little Ice Age and the Medeval Warming Period are made-up." Climate change deniers have a special place in the heart of the scientific community. While Creationists are dimwitted, ignorant, and insane, the "No-Earthers" are people for whom these qualities, with a heaping dollop of obtuseness, are deliberate and conscious. They don't deny the Earth is round, oh no--they deny the Earth even exists. They are court jesters reciting comedies of the absurd for the delight and ridicule of the normals, always searching for ways of deepening the farce by replacing national science policy with Busho-Lysenkoism. For shits, giggles, and Exxon stock, because screw future generations--if God had wanted mankind to survive, he would pay the ransom Republicans demand.

And you are not. Posted by Mac at April 26, 2007 02:52 PMSo the Hockey Stick is fake but accurate? Post a comment |
