I published the Cotton cartoon, with attribution, on my blog. It fit perfectly with the Danzinger cartoon already there.
The link to Giordano Bruno was especially appreciated, since each time I visited Rome, I made a special trip to see the memorial to this brave man.
It's not too far a stretch to believe that the current anti-science Trogs in the TeaPublican party would do the same today, if they could, to all who speak of climate change and global warming.
Another excellent line-up of links. Thanks.
Thanks! I love the caricatures of Republicans in that cartoon, especially McConnell.
I believe there was actually some effort to prosecute climate scientists in Virginia under the McDonnell administration (though my memory's hazy on the details). Combine the Republicans' anti-science and "Christian nation" mania with the Dominionists' talk about bringing back Old Testament punishments, and it's not far-fetched at all.
The creationists wouldn't need to worry about the implications of oceans on Jupiter's moons if they could go back to claiming those moons don't exist :-)
Once again, thanks for linking to my entry on 21st Century monsters. I'm glad you liked it.
Thank You for the link read Infidel, as far as the bird's bringing gifts to the Seattle kid ... it makes sense, even other animal's understand responsibility and sharing ... it's kinda like natural balanced trade and good business too! (something that is lacking in part's of human society, with it's unbalanced extreme greed).
Yeah ... didnt know the full story, but there has been alot of talk here in Dallas about this frat lullaby or whatever they were singing with the so called "N-word" ... I havent listened to it yet though (I'll need to get a pocket dictionary to get what all the word's are these dayz ... such as N-word, B-word, C- word, Q- word, R- word, P- word, M-word, etc, etc). Whether any of these folks are racist or not in their personal feeling toward's folk's of a different race dont matter as much as when you do these lil song's or whatever and it's made public ... dont whine at the response, what are people supposed to think? it just continuously feed's the race face deal, I dont feel sorry for none of them or these lil soon to be college yuppie- puppies that get a kick out of this.
Pinku: Thanks for the post!
Ranch: Thing is, fraternities are for people in college, right? How is it possible to be pursuing higher education and not be aware of an extremely basic fact like "using the word 'nigger' will get you in a shitload of trouble"?
Thanks for the link (both here and on C&L)!
{Smooches}
Thanks for the post! It's a point people need to hear.
