McClellan to Obama: Don't investigate us

Don't worry. ChimpyCo has the fix in. Obama will NEVER get any where near power. And the republic will be irrevocably lost.
The best part is, the republicans will never have to say they were wrong. So, you know, it's ok. Party above country.

creepy, 5 foot 6 inch fatal error

Did McCain Plagiarize Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn?

It's an odd place to be ripping off a story, but Sullivan wants to know exactly when McCain began incorporating a POW story he used in a campaign ad last December into his repertoire. 'Cuz it ain't in his memoirs, but it's sure in Solzhenitsyn's.

John McCain can't be called a simple fucking liar, because - he was a piss poor pilot.

“The insinuation from the Obama campaign that John McCain, a former prisoner of war, cheated is outrageous,” Ms. Wallace said.

Fastest man in the world?


Have you ever tried this? It's breath takingly fast. If you could race against Bolt, it would blow your fucking mind...You wouldn't believe it even after you say it..
Saturday's final of the men's 100-meter dash left no doubt.

Usain Bolt captured the gold medal in a world-record 9.69 seconds at National Stadium, aka the Bird's Nest. He is Jamaica's first champion in the Olympic 100. Bolt broke his own world record of 9.72, set May 31 at New York.

What? McCain was shot down in 1967. ABBA began making music in 1972.

You know where this post is going. It's that God Dammed Liberal Bias In The Press...
Walter Isaacson asked John McCain about McCain's inexplicable love for ABBA. McCain played the POW card:“If there is anything I am lacking in, I’ve got to tell you, it is taste in music and art and other great things in life,” McCain joked. “I’ve got to say that a lot of my taste in music stopped about the time I impacted a surface-to-air missile with my own airplane and never caught up again.”

Hawaii Department of Health conspires with Obama to lie to American Public

In an August 13 article, The Honolulu Advertiser reported that Hawaii Department of Health spokeswoman Janice Okubo said that her office contacted the Obama campaign to find a solution to the repeated requests for Obama's birth certificate. She reportedly said that the Obama campaign "responded and apparently it isn't good enough that he posted his birth certificate." She reportedly added: "They say they want it because they claim he is not a citizen of the United States. It's pretty ridiculous."

Corsi said: "The campaign has a false, fake birth certificate posted on their website ... The original birth certificate of Obama has never been released, and the campaign refuses to release it." Co-host Steve Doocy asked, "Well, couldn't it just be a State of Hawaii-produced duplicate?" Corsi replied: "No, it's a -- there's been good analysis of it on the Internet, and it's been shown to have watermarks from Photoshop. It's a fake document that's on the website right now."

the Bavelas experiment



"During the 1950's and 60's, a series of intriguing experiments were conducted on the nature and effect of feedback on human activity. In one representative study, professor Alex Bavelas simultaneously exposed two participants to a series of pictures of either healthy or sick cells (Watzlawick, 1976). Neither person in the study could observe the other while the experiment was under way and each was given the assignment to learn to distinguish between the two types of cells through trial and error. Small lights marked "right" and "wrong" provided feedback to the participants about their respective choices.
There was just one "wrinkle" in the experiment of which both participants were unaware. Only one of them received accurate feedback about their guesses. When the light in this person’s cubicle indicated they had made the "right" choice, they had indeed guessed correctly. On the other hand, feedback for the second participant was not based on their own, but on the guesses made by the first participant! No matter their choices, this person was told they were "right" if the other person had guessed correctly and "wrong" if the other had been incorrect. Data collected without their knowledge showed, at the conclusion of the experiment, that the first participant had learned to distinguish healthy from sick cells with an 80% rate of accuracy. The second continued to guess at no better than a chance rate.
These were not the only results. The two types of feedback also had a distinct and interesting impact on the theories each participant developed during the study for differentiating between " healthy" and "sick" cells. The participant who received accurate, reliable feedback ended the experiment with a very simple, concrete, and parsimonious explanation. In contrast, the second participant, developed a complicated, subtle, and elaborate theory. This person, it is recalled, had no way of knowing the feedback they received was not contingent on their own responses. Sometimes, as luck would have it, their responses happened to coincide with the correct answer. However, given the inconsistent and unreliable feedback, this participant was prevented from learning anything about their own actions and choices.
Even these results are not all that surprising. Something more troubling occurred when the two participants shared their respective theories with each other. Contrary to what one might hope and expect, the first participant was impressed with the complicated, mysterious, and unreliable theoretical formulations of their co-participant. The second, on the other hand, dismissed the statistically accurate theory of the first as "naive and simplistic." In later retests during which both participants received accurate feedback about their own guesses, the second continued to guess at little better than a chance rate. The performance of the first, however, who was now attempting to put some of the "brilliant" insights of their co-participant into practice, significantly worsened."
