Is PZ Myers over the top? Is Phil Plait too nice? Is Chris Mooney right about framing? If I meet a Creationist, should I throw a fossil over his head?

From December 18, 2005 - a very modern version of Dick and Jane...

Somebody was a little peevish that I slammed a woo-wooish poll. It's not much of a note, but for some reason Mr Spagnuolo's complete obliviousness tickled me.
I read your article about the lost girl and the man that gave credit to God for helping him to find her. You Sir, are a dick. Your arrogance…

Hamlet: I mean, my head upon your lap?
Ophelia: Ay, my lord.
Hamlet: Do you think I meant country matters?

What's really depressing is that there are many people who are so goddamned stupid they'd happily vote for that asshole.
OT: I blame you for the earthquake and tsunami in Japan since you mentioned boobs a few days ago.

And coming from a leading light of the Party of "Personal Responsibility" don't you love the passive voice weasling of "Things happened in my life that were not appropriate" (emphasis unnecessarily added).
