He wasn't too shabby with an AGW denier, too..
While a bit longer ... Maher seemed to be effectively stifling the normal-Human urge to strangle this infant-at-Stats--he returns most patiently to "10,7xx -vs- TWO" pretty much like ... Mozart's Rondo á lá Turk. Really though, watching the entire demeanor of these Suited- over-groomed over-grown Teens, I determine to be uhhealthy for one's own Psyche: any such session eats endorphins about as fast as swilling 100 diet-Cokes + Cheezos would. :-/ |

He missed a slip
At about 5:00 the denier uses Galileo to prove science advances by breaking with previous science. Maher points out that no, he was breaking with religion. The denier says, "No, he broke with an idea - a theological idea - that ..." Wait! Full stop. Yes, Bunky, "theological" is "religion". -- Drew |

Re: "theological" is "religion"
What, no credit for use of alternate $64 word? Alex "There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there has always been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge." -- Isaac Asimov |

Just like the 1/128th grace-notes in arpeggios, in the Don Juan Fantasy (Liszt: final-Exam for pianists) there are even $128 words ... {sheesh} Buckley was such a show-off word-monger. (But at least he strove to keep English still-Interesting and capable of nuance (another Word we had to borrow from the Gauls--which pisses-off them there Jingoists.) I salute him for that despite his notorious derangements, for which he employed such in wrongth/ever so accurately. |
