Barney Frank Confronts Woman Comparing Obama To Hitler

Derelict says...

"But I must note with delicious irony the absolute hypocrisy of Frank and the neolibs on this Hitler thing. It wasn't too long ago that calling your President "Hitler", making movies about assassinating him, wishing he & his family were dead, and all kinds of other awful stuff was considered the 'new patriotism'. Now according to Frank it is, "vile, contemptible nonsense"... Ah - sweet hypocrisy... How you neolibs do so revel in it."

I have to say that you are building yourself quite the straw man here. Frank never made a film about killing Bush nor did he ever call Bush Hitler or wished Bush and his family ill will. Since we are talking about the man himself, it is a rather weak argument to clump him with "neolibs" and then go on to list things that "neolibs" may or may not have done and assign the blame to Frank himself. I am sure there were lots crazy people doing crazy things while Bush was in office, but that has no bearing Frank or the validity of the argument he made in that town hall. It is disingenuous at best.

Ben Goldacre explains the problem with homeopathy

Derelict says...

But I think the point is that there wouldn't even be a single molecule of the substance in the final container. As the odds of you picking up the ever reduced amounts of it in the later containers becomes smaller and smaller. At least that is what I imagine it was meant to convey.

So to guarantee that you have you have a single molecule of the substance every time, you would need the absurdly large amount of water...or maybe I am as crazy as the homeopaths

Letterman Responds to Palin Outrage

Derelict says...

I have to disagree with you Sotto, Letterman didn't fuck up. The joke was aimed at the general population, not at the Palins and as such the vast majority of us assumed that "daughter" meant the knocked up one, not some random other child of theirs that most of us have never heard of. In light of how jokes are constructed there is no surprise that he didn't allude to the fact that it was the 14 year old at the game...we don't care and as a comedian he isn't there to fact check his jokes, he is there to entertain. As entertainment, reveling in the hipocrisy that is the Palin family is pretty terrific, if I do say so myself.
