Like Mookie, Obama will still have his mental militias after he loses this election. Look at Al Gore’s minions, they see nothing at all wrong with Gore using the language of science while absoluting denying the truth-seeking process of science.

Science is one of the few, if not the only, method humans have devised to ascertain the Truth of the certain questions. Unlike less physical arguments of Logic, science is based on the open cycle of Observation, Hypothesis, Experiment, Refinement of the Theory – ad infinitum. Al Gore refuses debate, he refuses any step past his only unsupported hypotheses, and his followers believe this is right and true because they are following a religion, not science. And their ultimate goal is command and control of society, not truth or science or mutual agreement.

Just yesterday I noticed that the myth still lives (it was an AP story I think) that Mookie’s “ceasefire” was instrumental to the success of the surge.

As for Country Joe, or whatever the lead singer’s name is, I saw on a Janis Joplin documentary that he stood her up on a date one night and it sent her into a tizz. It’s strange to think that in the crazy times of the Sixties somebody like Janis would even have “dates” and someone would stand her up. Sounds so pedestrian, so normal….

As for the the “Gimme an F!” song, I recommend it for all karaoke parties. The crowd always joins in very enthusiastically. “What’s that spell?”
