Fark quote

From Confabulat on Fark.com:
Good Republican Christians know there's "good science" and "bad science."

"Good science" is the stuff that makes life easier, like electricity, high-speed internet, leaf blowers, SUVs, satellite TV, and hairspray (judging from these pictures, anyway).

"Bad science" is the stuff that makes life worrisome, like evolution, climatology, geology, and ecology.

The value of the scientific method, to these individuals, only depends on whether it is capable of making them lazier and duller. If a scientific theory fails on those two levels, it is hated and rejected, in favor of fairy tales that allow dullness.

Much easier to deal with.

Hot hot planet

Ok. It's global CLIMATE CHANGE. And the fact that there haven't been many hurricanes blasting up the East Coast for the last couple of years should actually WORRY you, as it's a symptom of WEATHER SYSTEMS SHIFTING, which is a FUCKING GLOBAL THING.
