"This is the most important election of my life," Nye, known as the “science guy” from his 90's kids’ show, told the Foster’s Daily Democrat earlier this week. "And I believe we're at a crossroads — a turning point. We can either move forward, especially in education, or backward. I think voters have a clear choice, so I'm supporting the president."
Okay that is the election. No reason to even worry about counting the ballots in November, once the "Nye Guy" endorses you then science is on your side. And trust me, science beats faith (Especially Mormon faith), every time!
Somebody call Romney and tell him to pack his shit and go home.

So good of Nye to speak up. Thx for telling us.

Aww, that made my day.
ReplyDeleteRomney is indeed a dick, but it doesn't really have to do with him being Mormon. It probably has to do with him being "religious." There is a difference. It is the same dickishness you see in many "religious" people. I put "religious" in quotes because it doesn't really mean "people who follow the teachings of Christ."
ReplyDeleteYour right about that. They go to church and don't know what the bible says, only what what somebody tells them.I think a lot of them just go to church to find someone to have an affair with, but they are so religious.
DeleteThey haven't read the bible anymore than they've read the Constitution. They just rely on the interpretation of others.

They're salivating over this at the Sea, in between patting Louie Gohmert on the back and blaming the entire thing on Obama--didn't you know the Pres PLANNED this nightmare to take everyone's guns out of their sweaty little paws? Does this surprise anyone? The stooopid, it burns...
BTW always loved Bill Nye and now, even more.
What if the guy is severely mentally ill and couldn't get help because republicans have made deep cuts in some states. It's wrong to call someone evil before knowing the facts! Screw her!
DeleteI have a friend in Arizona with severe mental illness. Thanks to that bitch Jan Brewer, mental health treatment for the poor is almost non existent.
I hate these ignorant stupid far righties, I don't know if this shooter is schizophrenic or not, but the gut who shot Gabby was.
Maybe it's really EVIL to deny health care to people like this and even more EVIL to let them have guns!
Someone over there posted that there is a conspiracy to get gun laws introduced,thats why this shooting happened,and that there will be more shootings like this from now until the election,to help President Obama get re elected.Honestly,I think they have some sort of mental incapacity in the water over there.
DeleteGregory Peterson: Utah GOP Activist and Romney Supporter – and Rapist
ReplyDeleteSee that guy in the photo above? The guy posing with Mitt Romney? That’s Gregory Nathan Peterson, 37, of Orem, a conservative activist and “tea party power”.
He was co-chairman of a 2007 fundraiser for GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Orrin Hatch and others have “attended a barbecue Greg Peterson hosted what he called the Rocky Mountain Conservatives Conference at his lakeside cabin the past three years.” Grandiosely, Peterson called the most recent conference, held in May, “the CPAC of the West.”
Peterson, reports Deseret News, “faces 23 felony and two misdemeanor charges in connection with the alleged rapes of four women. One of those attacks, according to investigators, happened at his cabin near Heber City just one day after last year’s barbecue.”
The Salt Lake City Tribune gives the particulars:

Obama Responds to Colorado Shooting With a Message of Love and Unity
ReplyDeleteAgain, I am so grateful that you are here. I am so moved by your support, but there are going to be other days for politics. This I think is a day for prayer and reflection. So what I’d ask everybody to do, I’d like us to pause in a moment of silence for the victims of this terrible tragedy, for the people who knew them and loved them, for those who are still struggling to recover, and for all the victims of less publicized acts of violence that plague our communities every single day, so if everybody can just take a moment.
http://www.politicususa.com/obama-responds-colorado-shooting-message-love.html
Was that a little dig at "less publicized " for some reason or does he have the same ability as his wife to not connect with the feelings of others?
DeleteNo, the "less publicized" isn't a dig at all, it refers to gun crimes we all read in our local newspapers everyday, they're "less publicized" than big tragedies that grab the nations attention, but the outcome is no different than that of those that grab the nation's attention.
DeleteBill Nye rocks! I hope others in the scientific community speak out - I'm talking to you - folks like Neil deGrasse Tyson, Richard Dawkins (yes, I know he's a Brit), Lawrence Krause, Sam Harris, etc. People need to hear from scientific thought leaders many who rely on government funding to pursue their work. Science has been cut enough in recent budgets, and it's time for the scientific intelligentsia to speak out!
ReplyDeleteBoston Globe: Bain insiders say Romney 'was not merely an absentee owner'
ReplyDelete...The story here is pretty much exactly what you would have expected: After leaving for the Olympics, Romney's day-to-day role with Bain was dramatically diminished. However, he maintained his stake in the firm and used his ownership leverage to drive as good a deal for his retirement as he could. Although he wasn't responsible for initiating new investments, because he was CEO and owner, they could not have been made without his support. And of course he supported those investments, as his financial future was directly linked to the firm's.
Again, none of that is surprising. What's surprising is that the Boston Globe had to do so much digging in order to put the pieces of the story together. And the reason they had to do so much digging is that Mitt Romney has staked his personal narrative on the clearly false claim that after Feb. 11, 1999 he had nothing to do with running Bain Capital. Clearly, however, he did. The question is: Why did he lie?

Hey Sarah Palin, Maybe James Holmes Would Have Been Better Off With Those Spoons Rather Than Guns!

Romney: $98,000,000 stake in Mattel in 1999? He Announces Olympic sponsorship as stock crashes
ReplyDeleteSEC filings, press releases, and other contemporaneous documents released between 1997 and 1999 indicate that Mitt Romney may have parlayed a $23m investment and seat on the board of troubled software firm The Learning Company (TLC) into an ownership stake in Mattel, Inc. worth as much as $100,000,000 as of June, 1999.
On September 25 of that year, Romney, in his role as CEO of the 2002 Salt Lake City Olympic Organizing Committee, stood before the world to announce that the SLOC had signed an exclusive licensing agreement with Mattel for the production of stuffed-animal representations of the Olympic mascots.
Romney made no mention of his personal ownership interest in Mattel. Less than two weeks later, Mattel made a bombshell announcement.
On October 4 Mattel disclosed that The Learning Company had incurred millions in product returns and bad debt write-offs and that the TLC division of Mattel would incur a $50-$100 million loss rather than the large profit that had been forecast previously.
Mattel, whose stock had traded as high as $27.23 when the TLC merger was completed, at $24.14 on June 25 (the date upon which Romney's ownership is documented and worth estimated), closed at $11.69 on October 4.
CNBC would later label the Mattel/TLC merger as 'one of the five worst of all time.'
The market had discovered, and Mattel had admitted, that The Learning Company was essentially a worthless shell.
Mitt Romney, by virtue of his control of a seat on the TLC board, would have most certainly known this to be true.
Thus, and by virtue of his statement of 25 September, 1999, Mitt Romney exposes himself to the potential for very serious allegations of fraud, namely:

Mitt Romney losing the Bain battle
ReplyDeleteMoreover, reports Kessler, neither Romney nor Bain are providing sufficient evidence to counter the evidence undercutting his retirement claim:
Romney has failed to provide sufficient evidence that he had “no role whatsoever” at Bain. Over the past few days, we have repeatedly asked Bain Capital whether the firm could provide a statement that a review of Bain board meetings had shown that Romney did not attend any such meeting, either in person or by phone. We are still waiting for a response.

+1 Bill Nye
ReplyDeleteThose who knew the 24-year-old describe him as a shy, intelligent person raised in California by parents who were active in their well-to-do suburban neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteHolmes, who was studying neuroscience in a Ph.D. program in Colorado, grew up in San Diego, where his parents still live on a quiet, street of two-story homes with red tile roofs. He played soccer at Westview High School and ran cross country before going to college.
Neighbors say the family belonged to a Presbyterian church and hosted a Christmas party for residents. Many families choose the San Diego neighborhood because it is part of the well-regarded Poway Unified School District, one of the best in California.
On Friday morning, police escorted the suspect's father, a manager of a software company, from their San Diego home. The mother, a nurse, stayed inside, receiving family visitors who came to offer support. The suspect also has a younger sister.
Bill Nye is a personal hero, just like Mr.Rogers was to most of us. I am thrilled for him to come forward to support Obama.....education will save us.
ReplyDeleteI think eventually we will find out Holmes was schizophrenic...24 is the age for males to succumb and paranoia becomes overwhelming. He was obviously very intelligent, such a waste.
Hard to argue with a smart dressed smart man! He's right, education is key.
