Good to hear. When I was driving home early this morning, heard Team 1040 (a local sports station) say Torts didn't want him to play but it was really Henrietta's decision.

I thought he was a teacher? But for the sake of continuity, let's assume "Jewish".

It didn't look as bad on replays. Wait...are you actually suggesting that that wasn't just a completely horrible call? It was unspeakably bad. And deliberately bad. Should have been a two-point game after that. Instead the officials turned it into a ten-point swing in favor of Sacramento. Watch eve...

Scottie

Bingo.

I also like the menu items at the top of the feed like 'standings' and 'startlist'. This is a very good start considering the coverage on CTV of Vancouver and London were a disaster. Hate the CBC all we want and their shows really suck, but they know how to do Olympics. Absolutely. The one thing (t...

I agree but Seabrook shoots right and remember he was a disaster in the Vancouver games, so much so 21 year old Drew Doughty took over most of his minutes. I'm thinking that the two Stanley Cups since then have given him some confidence. But, y'know, nobody acted that surprised when he wasn't named...

Excellent!

Not excellent!

It'll be Brent Seabrook, if anyone.

Presumably logistical analysis would only be required in cases beyond the standard issue of two, eh? Significant polyorchidism is, so I've heard, innocuous enough.

It was the lead story on ever network newscast in Canada last night. And today, still is. Everyone is pleased to see MSL going to Sochi but was there anyone on the planet that really thought Stamkos was going to be fit enough?

Oh - and I LOVE how these morons always smugly ask about "the second law of thermodynamics" as if they have ANY idea what they are talking about. They just know it sounds smart - which of course is perfectly ironic for a person trying to prove that science is wrong. The direct simplicity ...

The sunset one kills me. She is as educated in science as a friggen caveman. The sun magically moves across the sky guided by the hand of G-d. What a stupid twat. I just want to punch that stupid grin off of her face. My 7 year old understands how the sun sets and why there is less light in the win...

This has to be some country whose appearances are largely ceremonial and who never really has even a puncher's chance, right? Like the British Virgin Islands. I was looking up Vietnam (I was damn close, but they've won 2 medals in 14 Summer Games) and there are a lot of countries tied at no medals ...

you guys really should come to canada Olympic Coverage Last night, after midnight, I saw that all two dozen or so (yes, that many) CBC feed channels were active. Telus Optik has given an entire block to CBC coverage and I'm assuming the other providers have as well. Anyway, it was impressive; midni...

Can he ban himself for using the idiotic description "giving caps" (presumably the distribution of hats) instead of "capitalization of proper nouns"?

Scottie

Okay! Ham completely dismissing Geology and the proven scientific age of the Grand Canyon because we didn't see it being "built". You'd think erosion might be one of the more easily-grasped scientific concepts. It was also a crafty (from his game plan) way of saying it; that "we didn...

as much as I enjoy working from home and getting to watch TV all day (early afternoon TV sucks though), I do miss the human interaction at times. Even if it's with crazy people. But after a stretch, maybe six weeks at the most, you'd be heavily lamenting working from home again. I am looking forwar...

Damn this senseless time zone!

Scottie

Yeah, sadly that is how it sliced up and fried Ham in the end; Nye pointing out hard-core undebatable realities and Ham meekly responding "Um, Bill, there's this book... and it says right in the first sentence that Joe Spacemonster made all this". And Joe is the only witness there was; for...

Just put up the Hubble Deep Field photos and explain "light-years". Let everyone take in the Deep Field quietly for a while. That alone refutes this 6000-year idiocy. Hubble don't lie! Drop mic.

Hmmmm . . . now that I think about it, I never saw the Sun being built. Hey, how'd that thing get up there anyway?

Scottie

Intros, hello 'ello, five minutes each. Fine. So far so good. Then each get a 30-minute segment to elaborate on their premise? WTF? That's not a debate. No way am I spending the next half hour suffering through Ham's babbling mania.

Scottie

One of the natural beauties of science is that the more one learns, the more one discovers there becomes to learn; ever-unfolding, ever-opening possibilities of possibilities. Religion, on the other hand, can only move its own goalposts, as it were, and revise that G-d meant such and such a thing as...

Hoffman had a smallish supporting role in that. Now Owning Mahoney, on the other hand, is Hoffman doing the heavy lifting.

Scottie, Ham's position isn't that there's some sort of ambiguous anthropomorphic intelligence behind the creation of the universe...it's a literal interpretation of the book of Genesis. Never suggested otherwise. If Ham believes his own bullshit (he may, who knows?) then he's an absolute whacko. I...

Not if they're the loudest in the room.

You're being forced to watch it? That sucks. Are you also being forced to listen to Justin Bieber recordings?

It takes a very open mind to contemplate the enormogiganticness of the universe and then soundly conclude that no anthropomorphic deity absurdly built it but rather it was the result of random chemical reactions across massive spans of time.

I'm still kind of conflicted trying to analyze it. Maybe that's why the cliche goes, "there are no atheists in foxholes". Factor in to your analysis the staggering number of times you've seen and heard someone utter "thank g-d" whether on television or movies or out in the actua...

While I like Nye and love his vehement attempts to educated the idiots by frequently appearing on FoxNews . . . Oh, forfucksakes. Do you need it explained to you how many dozens of times Nye was on Larry King's CNN show? Disney? PBS? ABC's "Millionaire"? The Fucking Weather Channel? Blah ...

Not necessarily supernatural , as it were. Rather what we believe the listener can understand. Not all human beings can articulate their thoughts like Shakespeare. More often than naught we rely on the lower-hanging word rather than wax more eloquently, particularly when speaking to people who proba...

For the record, I was born an atheist (as were all of us) and remained so my entire life and, back when I used to run 60-70 miles per week, often on wonderful trails, the word "spiritual" would make perfect sense in describing how I felt; the exuberance of being alive, pure joy in the fulf...
