Zen Delivers 9 Minutes of Stupidity about Tiny Hydrogen

Tina Fey Out Palin's Palin once more

The Israel-Palestine conflict: a brief, simple history

newtboy says...

1)As if they DID know what the future would hold when they left? EDIT: Those things you mention had not happened when the Jewish people invaded Palestine in the 30's, and NO ONE KNEW what was coming 10 years later.
2)Yes. The European Jews invaded FIRST. Before that, the Arabs and Jews lived peacefully in the region from all history I can find. There was no 'civil war', it was a war against invaders coming from all over Europe in an effort to 'create' a nation.
3)The Jewish population was not growing in relation to the Arab population, so it was still <8% when the European Jewish invasion began, an invasion of foreigners, not a native population boom which the Arabs had. Duh.
4)'standing army' is hardly a measure of applicable force. If it were, we would be Iraqis today. They had far more men in their army when we walked over them with advanced technology, exactly like the Jews did. I've been over that. We (the US) supplied them advanced weapons making enlisted numbers meaningless...
...also, you ignore that ALL 'Israeli' are in the army, 100%. The 'standing army' number is only the professional soldiers, not the entire force by far.
...AND....The Jews didn't need to mount any defense if they had not invaded.
5)What should they have done? Much better minds than mine have failed on a solution that pleases everyone, but stealing another people's property using deadly force, and then subjugating the survivors for decades to the stone age in concentration camps is absolutely NOT the right answer.
That said....If they were truly 'refugees', they should go to refugee camps (as should the Syrians, I don't get why they are spreading all over Europe, but I digress) until they can either be assimilated in other cultures or return home. Period.

Once again...things being bad at home does not give one the right to just move in on someone else's land and push them off. That's what Israel is, a land theft by overwhelming force, and an expansion of that theft continuing to this day. EDIT: It's akin to me stating 'my brother abuses me at home, so I'm moving into your house and you're moving out, and my buddy's with big guns gave me some to force that to happen.' Is that OK? If so, what's your address?

6)Have you seen the stuff right wingers used to wright about Jews...how about the KKK? How about Palin and her cohorts? If some idiot spouting hatred is a reason to run, the entire planet would be on the run all the time.
Would you support blacks invading any European countries they choose because they are treated poorly here in the US? With money and arms? Displacing the current residents and subjugating any that stay as sub human non citizens? I doubt it. EDIT: Would you also make the argument then that it's OK because the invaders are a smaller military than the country they invade, even though they have far better weapons and more of them? What's the difference?

KInda leaves you going meh. The real Sarah Palin does kooky better.

It was actually not as good as I'd hoped. I mean, Tina Fey nails it, but it's reached the point that any parody of Palin is not really any more insane than the original.

Carly Fiorina "ambushing" Children To Use As Props

Mordhaus says...

She is dumber than Palin, which is saying something. I can't find a single redeeming Republican to vote for so I am hoping Bernie beats Hillary in the primaries. Not that it matters much, being in Texas means my vote is going to count for a Republican anyway thanks to our stupid Electoral College.

No one in the world is like Donald Trump? Don't Youbetcha!

They used to say the same thing about Trump, but I think the RNC is finally starting to relent and starting to accept Trump even though they didn't want him originally. When it comes to primaries, votes do not matter.

I just don't think it really matters. I think most of the polls have agreed so far that in almost every possible match up....regardless of which republican, regardless of which democrat. Democrat wins.

Palin and Trump may rally the base, but they rally more people to vote against them. If McCain had picked just about anyone else for VP. I think he might have won. I think Palin made a large number of Republicans stay home and a large number of Democrats to come out to vote. I think the only thing that made it a semi close race (popular vote wise, not electorally) was that Obama was black and that made the racists come out in droves to vote against him. Fortunately, racism is slowly slowly dying. I'm also sure there were some die hard Hillary fans that were still pissed that Obama got the nod so they stayed home.

I think Trump is going to be a repeat of that. Islamaphobes and everyone who despises minorities will vote Trump, but more people (Republicans as well) will vote against him. And again, it might be sorta close because whoever will get the Democrat nod, there will be the die hard fans of the other person who will stay home.

That's my take on it so far anyway. It's the Democrats' race to lose. They've been known to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in the past.

I think Sanders would probably win the general election. I don't think he has a snowballs chance in hell of winning the nomination though, as much as I would like him to.

Lawdeedaw says...

Considering that Bernie Sanders might win, I don't share so much pessimism. But of course if Palin's twin sister (Hillary Clinton) wins...yeah, I am with you.

Part of me wants this to happen.

Seriously, the world is already pretty fucked with climate change etc. It's probably too late to steer around the iceberg, so fuck it, full steam ahead and let's sink the whole fucking thing and get it over with.

It's not even 9am here and I'm at work.... too early to start drinking?

heropsycho says...

If you're a "Bernie or Bust" person, a Trump-Palin ticket would be by far and away the way to make that happen should Sanders pull an epic upset of Hillary Clinton.

My greatest fear about that is the general electorate is so stupid, that if the economy were to crash, people might vote for Trump-Palin, and they'd win over Sanders.

And that's about the craziest f'n thing perhaps in the history of presidential politics.

Palin Blaming Obama For Her Son Beating His Girlfriend

sirex says...

i'm more impressed that they keep finding them from somewhere. George bush made america the laughing stock of the world for 8 years and yet they're trying hard to put anouther idiot (trump, palin) back in again ? what the hell ?

It's astonishing to me that 'conservatives' chose as their mouthpiece someone who can't form a complete sentence or thought, and who does any mental gymnastic necessary to shirk any and all responsibilities.
