Holy crap, at what point do they just throw this guy in jail so he doesn't kill somebody?

If he's 53, how old are his parents? I wonder if he still lives with them...and where is he getting all these cars? Craziness.

'The Five' Host Greg Gutfeld On Fossil Fuel: 'It Used To Be A Dinosaur. Now It's Fuel. How Is That Not Renewable?'

Greg Gutfeld, one of the five legendary hosts of Fox News' "The Five", thinks the dangers of climate change are way overhyped.

On Tuesday night, he shared this brilliant gem to illustrate his expertise on the subject of climate science: "Isn't fossil fuels the ultimate renewable energy? It's renewed once. It used to be a dinosaur. Now it's fuel. How is that not renewable?"

Idiocy at it's finest folks. The fact that millions of Americans use that as a news source is downright scary

I just remembered where that was from and I wish I didn't.

Pretty sure 10-y-o me knew where tides came from.

How is solar power useful? It's a big yellow ball in the sky. We can't hook up our SUVs to that!

The Vancouver Sun has apologized for posting a photo caption labelling Vancouver Canuck prospect Jordan Subban as the "dark guy in the middle."
The photo also appeared on the Province website briefly on Tuesday night after Subban, a Toronto-born defenceman, scored the opening goal against the San Jose Sharks in the Canucks' first preseason NHL game.
Sun deputy editor Gillian Burnett and the newspaper changed the caption after concerns about it began to circulate on Twitter.
Subban, the youngest brother of Montreal Canadiens' star defenceman, P.K. Subban, was drafted 113th overall by the Canucks in 2013.
His other brother Malcolm Subban is a goalie for the AHL's Providence Bruins.

Apparently saying "the guy/player in the middle" or "third from left/right" isnt descriptive enough...

One more reason why Vancouver sucks.

White Evangelicals Are an Oppressed Minority, Say White Evangelicals

Most Americans believe gays and lesbians face the most discrimination in the U.S., followed closely by Muslims, blacks, and Hispanics, according to a new Pew study. But weird things start happening when you look at, say, how conservative Caucasian proselytizing Protestants feel.

Ah, white evangelicals. Still the cream of the crop in America, yes? No! White evangelicals were more likely to consider themselves a religious minority than blacks or Hispanics of any faith, according to Pew's Monday poll:

Among religious groups, fully half of white evangelical Protestants (50%) say evangelical Christians face a lot of discrimination compared with 31% of the public overall saying this...

[E]vangelicals are less sanguine about their position in American society, with one-third (34%) saying it has become more difficult to be an evangelical Christian in the U.S. Consistent with this, three-in-ten white evangelical Protestants say they think of themselves as a religious minority because of their religious beliefs.

Even better, white evangelicals as a group believe there is more discrimination against white evangelicals than against Muslims, blacks, Hispanics, atheists, or Catholics, and they say they face about the same amount of discrimination as lesbians and gays:

Nearly half of white evangelicals also believe the Democratic Party is "unfriendly" toward religion. No more than a quarter of any other group agrees with them. Fifty-seven percent of white evangelicals also say President Obama is unfriendly toward religion. That's 21 percentage points higher than the next-highest group.

Seventy percent of white evangelicals also identified as Republicans in the poll—the highest total since Pew started its tally in 1992—and only 20 percent identified as Democrats, an all-time low.

As the Daily Banter put it, "This is the white evangelical persecution complex quantified."

Oh the persecution and daily struggles those poor white Christains must face on a daily basis

Activists Will Gather This Weekend to Protest Imaginary Chemtrails

Activists in dozens of cities across the globe are preparing to chant "hey hey, ho ho, chemtrails have got to go!" this weekend as part of the Global March Against Chemtrail and Geoengineering. Hoo boy.

If you aren't familiar with the chemtrail conspiracy theory, it's a growing belief that the contrails—short for "condensation trails"—left behind by the moist exhaust of high-flying aircraft are really chemicals being sprayed by The Man in order to make you sick and control the weather. The existence of contrails is the same reason you can see your breath or car exhaust on a cold morning. If the upper-atmosphere is very humid, the contrails can stick around for hours and spread out, forming a thin deck of cirrus clouds.

The activists plan to hold numerous marches across the United States, including one in New York City:

PLACE: The Local - Rooftop bar - West 33rd St and 8th Ave NYC (there is a court yard next to this restaurant) We will march towards 34th St to WNBC Studios (34th St & 5th Ave) from there we will go back down 5th Ave to WABC Studios (Penn Stat), TIME: 13:30 (EDT)

Here's a full list of these chemtrail protest locations, which I have forwarded to the proper spraying auth...I mean, linked here for your information. If you have a few hours to kill on Saturday and head to one of these groundbreaking protests, send in your pictures and stories! We'd love to have them.

What is the end game for these protests, you might ask? The protest's organizers hope to use awareness to stop "high altitude aerosol spraying" and the subsequent ecocide being perpetrated by The Man. Instead of "clap harder or Tinkerbell will die," it's "think harder and physics will cease to be."

Geoengineering activists almost never offer plans on how to stop chemtrails (since they don't exist), but they want you to be aware. Be aware and look up. Watch their YouTube videos and look up. Give them advertising money. Be aware. Look up. Get scared and give them money.

I can't believe these idiots have this kind of organizational skills, I'm almost impressed

They need to go live in a country where its illegal or unwise to be a christian and find out what real persecution is. Since the beginning of Christianity, Christians have been executed and imprisoned for their beliefs. Yet, here these bunch of whiners are losing their **** because someone says "happy holidays" to them or because gay people in love want to be married.

These people like to think they are being strong Christians in the face of persecution, but all they are being is a bunch of spoiled snot-nosed cry babies.

Women is Re-Writing Harry Potter as an Evangelical Christian Story

http://jezebel.com/moms-evangelical-christian-rewrite-of-harry-potter-cann-1638274209

A fun excerpt between Hermione and Harry:

"This is the boys' dormitory," the devout young woman explained kindly; and she gestured to the heavy, oak door beside them. "I would show you inside; but I would hate to cause a scandal."
"I understand," Harry declared graciously. Too many young men these days pressure young women into things undesired and forbidden. It is the mark of a true, old-fashioned gentleman to respect the fact that every young woman is another man's future wife. And we all know that it would be a dreadful, terrible sin to bring another man's wife into intimacy. Why does modern culture suddenly treat that as okay simply because he does not have her yet? Man's laws may permit it; but the laws of the Lord are not bound by time.

Well then

Activists Will Gather This Weekend to Protest Imaginary Chemtrails

We have at least one poster on here who totally believes the government is doing something to Americans with the chemtrails....I tried to explain that it is just a natural reaction of the engines in the air....he also talked about seeing thousands of them in the air everyday over his town...I tried to tell him he may be in a flight corridor for commercial traffic.....he continued to say it was the government screwing with the people.........I then said - if what you say is true, the government is doing something to the air over your city....it means the government HATES you and your city but LOVES me and my city because I see around 2 to 3 contrails a day over mine.

He never replied to that one.....go figure.

 

[DJ_KiDDvIcIOUs]

Well then

I'm sure the kids will be lining up to get that page turner

It just makes no sense. The government waste tons of money on some pretty stupid crap but that would be astronomical in cost all these years.

The best thing in the article is the bottom comment, which says "Yer a Jesus, Harry."

 

[KevanG]

Wasn't the big deal about Harry Potter that it was supposed to be satanic/evil due to the magic? Is he supposed to be doing jesus level magic or will he convert Voldemort using bible passages instead of having a big fighty duel with him?

 

[Breogan]

This would probably sell more.

Ferguson P.D. Chief Marches with Riot-Cop Escort in Protest Against Him

Hours after apologizing to Michael Brown's family, Ferguson, Mo., police chief Thomas Jackson attempted to join a group of demonstrators who were actively calling for his resignation, NBC reports. It's hard to believe, but it didn't go over well.

Yesterday, Jackson released a video apologizing to Michael Brown's family for the death of their son, to protesters for failing to protect their right to peacefully assemble, and to Ferguson's black community for losing their trust. According to NBC and the Associated Press, wearing street clothes, he attempted to join a march outside Ferguson police headquarters late last night. "All those things that are causing mistrust are being evaluated and we are going to be making changes," he told those assembled.

People were pissed, and things turned ugly almost immediately, according to St. Louis alderman and tireless Ferguson documenter Antonio French:

"I don't think he was marching with the protesters more than 30 seconds before the riot cops came out into the crowd and tried to get themselves closer to him and protect him," said French, a St. Louis elected official who has been following demonstrations since the Aug. 9 shooting and who supports calls for Jackson's resignation. "Just them being out there pushing started stuff — it's a complete misread of the situation. His very presence agitated the crowd."

Antonio French tweeted: "For the record this is the second riot this police chief has incited. He needs to resign."

Police made several arrests in the ensuing chaos, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
