Sadly, No!

First a favicon, now an original logo. I’m singing ‘Climb Every Mountain’ here.

It’s more allusive…

“Liberalth are thilly and have poor English thkillth.”

Can we please get a “higher” grade of troll “around here?” We’re “worried” about “overusing” the “Wingnut-Projection Daffy” “graphic.”

Whatever that is, it’s the condition in which irony finds itself now that Kaye Grogan has written a column titled We no speak English:

Have you ever wondered why English is not the official language in America? After 200 plus years of English being the predominantly spoken language ? what else would the native tongue be? And the last time I read the U.S. Constitution it was written in English.

For gosh sakes! …me no speak Spanish either ? so we’re even!

Me write wingnutty one day. Sadly for Kaye, the only thing worse than her grasp of English is her grasp of economics:

And I have come to the conclusion we need accountants in Washington D.C. ? not lawyers. How far do you think housewives or big companies would get balancing their checkbooks ? if they operated in the red to the tune of trillions of dollars annually?

Right, trillions annually.

Alex Trebek: Keanu Reeves, you look rather pleased. Let’s see what you wrote down: [ a blank screen is revealed ] Nothing. The question was write anything, and you got it wrong. I’m speechless. Let’s see what you wagered: Eleventy billion dollars. That’s not even a real number.

Keanu Reeves: Yet.

Thanks to reader (we think) Bruce, Sadly, No! now has a favicon. We’ve always hated those on other people’s websites, but when we got one sent to us for free, our feelings changed. So there you have it. Pretty soon, we hope, our plans for world global domination will be complete when we get a logo. Watch out!

Be sure to stop by tomorrow, when we answer 3 months of unread emails to S,N! we just discovered. Well, those are the newses for tonight.

You’d probably write something like this:

Let’s say you are an 18-year-old kid with a really big brain. You’re trying to figure out which field of study you should devote your life to, so you can understand the forces that will be shaping history for decades to come.

Apply for a job at AEI? Turns out the answer is:

Go into the field that barely exists: cultural geography. Study why and how people cluster, why certain national traits endure over centuries, why certain cultures embrace technology and economic growth and others resist them.

Why do certain cultures prosper and others do not. Yeah, it sounds like no one’s ever thought of that before. Much the same can be said of cultural geography. It’s unheard of. That David Brooks fellow sure is a pioneer. Maybe he should start his own university? Because you sure can’t study anything like that these days:

This is an advanced-level undergraduate course examining historical and cultural geography of the world from the basis of the National Standards for Geography. Course content includes identification and discussion of how history has influenced settlement patterns, how cultures have influenced the development of nations, and how the physical landscape influenced the human mosaic.

Then again, maybe the reason there are only 202,000 results on Google for “cultural geography” is because most people already have a name for what Brooks is writing about: anthropology:

the science of human beings; especially : the study of human beings in relation to distribution, origin, classification, and relationship of races, physical character, environmental and social relations, and culture

Having “invented” a field of study, Brooks turns his attention to straw:

Sure we’ve lost the faith, but is this really going to fix the problem?

Looks like the supply of man-whore-journalists has just run out:

The recent public focus on Talon News, while much of it malicious, has indeed brought some constructive elements to the surface. It has also brought many kind messages of support, and for that we are extremely grateful.

In order to better serve those readers across the country who enjoy Talon News content and look forward to receiving it each day, we feel compelled to reevaluate operations in order to provide the highest quality, most professional product possible.

Thus, Talon News will be offline while we redesign the web site, perform a top-to-bottom review of staff and volunteer contributors, and address future operational procedures.

Thanks to pinki for the link.

PZ Myers gives the best explanation of astrology I’ve ever seen:

Astrology pretends that our destinies are guided by the impersonal movements of vast lumps of rock and ice.

For the second time this week, WorldNetDaily’s reporters have scooped the media dinosaurs at the New York Times on yet another groundbreaking story:

Chief rabbi sees imminent coming of Messiah

‘He is very near at hand,’ says Russian cleric

Whoa.

Of course, what the rabbi doesn’t realize is that the Messiah has already been here before, and His name is… (Help me out here, Kirk…)

“JEEEEEEE-ZUS-AAAAH!!!”
