'They call me the Dr Scholl's machine"

I kind of enjoyed the insinuation that Nero played bluegrass.

I take it that means that you're 'a supposed man of science'?

Same here. I've never intentionally listened to either Blink182 or the White Stripes, so I never would have guessed songs 10 or 9. It never occurred to me to consider a Michael Jackson song when compiling a 'greatest guitar riffs' list.

They're sending Quaid to start the reactor?

I was thinking the same thing - he's openly encouraging climate skepticism in his last paragraph: "Tropes of doom-and-gloom, of good versus evil, or environment versus business do not capture the challenges or opportunities for young environmental scientists. So my advice to all students is to be skeptical when presented with any simple story. Look for the data. Run the numbers. Always question."

Do you believe that a person who attains the position of head of pediatric neurosurgery at Johns Hopkins isn't educated in science and 'probably not a very smart guy'? Have you ever considered that Darwin's theory is still just a theory because no positive proof has yet been offered to back it up? Granted, I believe the theory of evolution is quite likely correct, but to believe in an unproven theory requires faith, the very thing that one must have to believe in creation.

On the other hand, it does allow for the separation of head from shoulders.

Exactly. He said that he believes Sharia to be incompatible with our constitutional liberties. I don't believe he backtracked anything, but instead clarified his original point.

The last line pretty much sums up the gender identity issue:

You left out homophobic climate change denier.

I don't give a crap - I'll make you honorary Irish (as if I have any such authority - but that's never stopped me from making proclamations before) and will gladly drink a few beers with you. In fact, we can talk a lot of smack about what a bastard Cromwell was while we're drinking.

So now we no longer base our definition of gender upon a person's gender?

"The OCR found that such reasoning was discrimination "on the basis of sex," which violated Title IX, a comprehensive federal law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in any federally funded education program or activity." So if you're physically male but emotionally/psychologically female, the DOE is fine with you and your tonker showering with the 15 year-old girls, and any effort to prevent that is considered sexual discrimination?! It sounds to me like people in the Department of Education aren't necessarily very well educated.

There's always Texas.

It always annoys the #@%& out of me when he calls his films 'joints'. Get over yourself - it's a freakin' movie.

Just wait until I see anyone of less than 50% Irish ethnicity celebrating St Patrick's Day.

I'll go third party. Lower taxes for all, across the board budget cuts, and cold beer in all vending machines.

Well, it's time for another one then.

I was thinking more long the lines of Faulkner - read Absalom! Absalom! and you'll see what I mean.

This is some of the most ridiculous stuff I've read in a long time. Our lives must be pretty good if this is the crap people classify as social justice. I think I'll organize a group to counter the PC movement and call it the 'Up Yours' movement.

It's really because he never graduated from college, and therefore likely never read any of the classics.

There are lots of great bands/artists should be inducted, but there's no excuse for Deep Purple not having been included years ago. Rainbow as well, imo.
