Crux: cc.com's own White House apologist. "Assets Deployed To Date Total response vessels: Two Coast Guard cutters Total response aircraft: Four helicopters and one rescue plane" This is an overwhelming response from our brave leader!

Apparently, you're unaware of Lysenko's "theories" or their tragic results. Another one of those pesky details the commissar forgot to tell you about.

An absolutely beautiful response.

Not sure about this. Once enlightened Euro-Christians (and formerly closeted secularists) threw off the economic yoke of Catholic usury laws, I think the game v Islam was pretty much over.

it may just be that dem muslims are fucking retarded Infected with religion. An especially virulent strain.

If anything, the moderators here need to rein in violent little psychopaths--like you.

You are one angry little fuck. You should talk to a professional. Seriously.

This is why commies like j_b typically dispense with inconveniences such as jury trials when they come to power--and why it's important to make sure they never do.

It's been ages since j_b's snake has seen any oil. Um, the guy drives a 1978 Jetta TDI. Whad' you expect?

the "planet" cares about how much oil you use that you could avoid using. We have at least twice as far to go in this domain as any other nation among developed nations, thanks in part to your oil corporation shilling ways. Nah - I'm pretty sure that it's just total global consumption that matters, which is a direct function of wealth. The more output people generate, the more money people have to fund consumption, and the more they consume. The reason that Greeks don't use much energy isn't because of their superior virtue, it's because they don't generate enough output to buy as much. When you look at energy consumption per unit GDP, which is a much better proxy for efficiency than simple per-capita consumption metrics, the picture looks a bit different. Below is a plot of energy consumption per-unit-GDP.... Malthus.

You guys later went on some kind of rampaging galactic religious jihad, if I recall.

The Baron was right.

We've already read it: Version A: "Ivan led a pitch and a half before he lost confidence in my ability to follow and we rapped off. Then I took pictures of dried leaves 'n shit using that little flower icon. The end." Version B: "Ivan went and soloed something while I stayed inside the tent 'cause I didn't feel very good from lack of conditioning. Then I took unwelcome pictures of someone else's daughter. The end." I know YOU'VE already read it, fanboi...you never miss an episode LOL! Sadly, no Ivan this time (miss you, brofriend!), but Josh makes for excellent company, too. Ok. I'll read it. JoshK sounds like a friggin machine.

Voting is for hypocrites!! We have a Bingo!

Does it measure shrill?

Unless you're demanding everyone else does--even as you don't.

Have you and TTK ever, ya know, measured each other?

While diesel's carbon footprint may not be as visible as gasoline's, the particulate matter ejecta is off the charts! You really should sell that old Jetta and walk to work...um, I mean, to the counselor's office, um, the smoke shop, social services office, the Bellingham basement soviet, um, or wherever it is you spend your unproductive life.

Thanks, but we've already read it: Version A: "Ivan led a pitch and a half before he lost confidence in my ability to follow and we rapped off. Then I took pictures of dried leaves 'n shit using that little flower icon. The end." Version B: "Ivan went and soloed something while I stayed inside the tent 'cause I didn't feel very good from lack of conditioning. Then I took unwelcome pictures of someone else's daughter. The end."

You, sir, are a racist. (And a hypocrite.)

Sorry pal, but me, I have a job. I'll write an epistle for the clueless and unconvincible when I get a moment, but if Nitrox can't see the inherent racism in the content of the faked photo he posted, the fictional narrative which suggests that Hispanics, both citizens and illegal immigrants alike, feel entitled to a free ride for everything they want, then I don't know how any essay I could write would free him from his poor white middle class oppressed guy identity. I just think it's strange you withhold indignation when Choada or TTK break out the N-word--or when Prole posts yet another anti-Semitic treatise. In fact, I can cite several examples of TTK disparaging Hispanics and their language in a far more egregious manner than the one you decry here. No big deal, but maybe people who live in glass houses should check the windows on the left side . . .

Guess the local Bill of Rights-hating crowd here didn't get the message about guns: the debate is over. Even their favorite former gun-grabbing Democrat politicians won't touch the issue. The new third rail of politics.

Gotta love that cyclist HTT rage.

UM...no, it doesn't, not that anyone here bought that obviously bullshit statistic the first time round. You're only off by a factor of 37 this time, but that's nothing new, eh? Sustainable agriculture would return us to a 2+:1 ratio. linky "Ever since we ran out of arable land, food is oil. Every single calorie we eat is backed by at least a calorie of oil, more like ten. In 1940 the average farm in the United States produced 2.3 calories of food energy for every calorie of fossil energy it used. By 1974 (the last year in which anyone looked closely at this issue), that ratio was 1:1." If you include all inputs--from the production of Nitrogen-based fertilizers, to cultivation, to processing, shipment to market, refrigeration, etc, etc--well, you can't possibly believe what you posted. (Could it be that reading comprehension thing you're having so much trouble with lately?) My source is Pollen's The Ominivore's Dilemma which, I'll admit, is suspect. But I have no doubt it's closer to the true ratio than your outrageously naive claim of 1:1.
