I'd rather take a grenade to the crotch than listen to that noise.

That outfit is terrible, and she's still stunning.

I'm starting to think that in 50 years we're going to find out that Victoria's Secret was genetically engineering their models in a lab somewhere in Bhutan. They're so hot they just aren't to be believed.

Sounds good.

^ He has my vote. After all, I can't bring myself to cast a ballot for one of them damned Muslims.

I've seen the whole debate several times, and came away with the opposite impression. But I'm curious: when, according to your account, did Chomsky become a "looney?" He's been wrong occasionally, but he realizes his claims strike the average citizen as outlandish, and accordingly goes out of his way to try to provide shitloads of good evidence (thus the oft repeated accusation that he is longwinded). Even when he fails--and I'll say again that I think he sometimes does--he does his best to meet his own high standards of rigor.

What's more, the man is a giant in the field of linguistics. I'm much more familiar with philosophy and economics than I am with that particular area of study, but the impression I get is that much of the work done even today in academic linguistics departments is but a footnote to Chomsky's work from 40 years ago.

Outside the field of linguistics he has, in recent years, provided intelligent criticisms of the underpinnings Evolutionary Psychology, and spoken out forcefully against 9/11 conspiracy theories.

So, he doesn't seem much like a lunatic to me.

Come now, Choggie. You've been reading my comments long enough to know that if I was trying to insult anyone, they'd know it. I posted this because it's a good resource for people who still have family/friends who think Obama is a Muslim.

I was raised in an immediate family that practiced Islam, but all my extended family stateside are evangelical Christians. Even though they've been around me all my life, they still wouldn't vote for a Muslim. I imagine I'm not alone in having family members like this, so I posted this website so people could pass it along to "thems that needs it." I specifically picked it because it has all the requisite documentation.

In other words, it was a resource for Sifters to use in combating the ignorance of those that aren't so enlightened as yourself.

Is he a mystery, enigma, or a dubious consort.....mostly.
Does anyone here on the sift besides perhaps QM give a fiddler's fuck if he's a Muslim? Probably not, so why the post?? Most folks here are smart enough to have already figured out the answer to the question posed.....so, are you trying to insult us??

Is Obama suited, given the current geopolitical climate to govern this fucked-up country's government, after Bush/Clinto/Clinton//Bush/Bush/......
Fuck no...but Giant Iron Robot with Laser beam eyes, is.

Vote, Giant Iron Robot with Laser Beam Eyes, in 08'.

"Visit Talk Left."

I try not to, thanks.

I knew it! The Islamosifters want to take over everything, and establish Farhad as Caliph. I've been trying to warn you about the clash of Siftilizations, but you wouldn't listen!

I always have to *beg to get my music posts published. Maybe I should take that as a hint....
