My, My, It Sure is an Intellectual Crowd Out There

The audience for Ithaka looks like it's mostly those from Congress.  Interest in science articles has plummeted and that kind of stupid needs Congress although we do love hearing about them talking about climate change or many other things which don't so much reveal the stupidity of Congress as the imbecility of those who believe them.

There's further confirmation since any mention of Netanyahu which does not regard him as a gold-plated deity, gets them quivering and turn to Jell-O and anything which accurately reports declining religion in America gets them running for the hills.

For get anyone who at once denies history and denies science, where else do you go but Congress?


So what's the answer, mates?

Ed:  pour on the science and bag everything else.  Starve them out.

Yep, that's the answer (larfs).

Ed:  you don't respect anyone who doesn't respect science, correct?

Almost since I don't even consider them sentient.  They're just meats but really loud and uninformed ones who cause immense problems.


I do like the pictures and The Guardian has predictable second-rate tripe from Jill Abramson but they partially compensate for that by presenting first-rate photography.  (Ithaka:  Jill Abramson Outdoes Herself and Of Course She Wears Purple)

Ms Cotillard seems an unpretentious young lady although the libido hasn't exactly set a trajectory for the Moon since we wonder how much stuff falls into those bra cups through the course of the evening.  That could really hurt ... but it's fashionable?


That's about it from The Guardian since their photo spread today is only about Cannes, one of the shallowest richie festivals of all.  Cannes has a main street which is where the glitz happens but Cat tells me that disintegrates immediately on the streets behind it.  As always, beauty is only skin-deep so Ms Cotillard may actually be a serial killer.
