It is
raining today and I can’t work outside, so I am taking the day off.
That’s my
excuse and I’m sticking with it.
Time to
catch up reading blogs and sharing what’s on my mind.
Bill Maher
is always complaining about the ignorance of a large percentage of American
voters; and the sometimes maddeningly political correctness and fantasy
obsessions of liberals.
A program on
Public Radio this past week-end told the story of an environmentalist movement
that decided to try to reverse evolution on one of the islands that was visited
by Charles Darwin in the Galapagos group - restoring the island of Pinta to the condition
Darwin found when he landed.
A number of
these islands are home to giant tortoise, but on the island of Pinta there was
only one tortoise left: Lonesome George.
Now a
tortoise is a tortoise is a tortoise, but the liberal environmentalist and college
biology departments involved decided that not just any tortoise would do, but
the replacements should be from the blood line of Lonesome George.
For forty
years they tried to get Lonesome George to mate, but he wasn’t interested. One College professor and his female
assistant went so far as spending two years trying to jack off ole George for
his semen, but to no avail.
Finally,
Lonesome George died. One of the
scientist said he was ready to shoot him anyway.
This is the
type of obsessive bull shit that liberals are known for. Probably hundreds of thousands of dollars
and many hundreds of man hours were spent on this project so tourist could
visit the Island and experience it as Darwin did – what a waste of time and
money.
Now as to
the dumbing of the voting population:
What can I say?
the Ol'Buzzard
I heard the episode of Lonesome George. Once in awhile I hyper focus on something for way too long. When I come out of the fog I wonder what the hell was wrong with me to lose my perspective. I felt like they did that only on mega-doses of steroids. I love that one scientist that just said, "Who the hell cares?"
ReplyDeleteWe have had a massive failure of our educational system. Maybe this is why we are in such a fix.
ReplyDeletePoor ol' George. Scientists just mucking around without a clue.
ReplyDeleteAs for that video, I often wonder WTF happened with those people. Did they go to school at all? But then I think that they were the ones that probably voted for # 45.
