Everybody is all upset about Trump and his Republicans, but in truth, that seems to matter little. Here in Minnesota we had a local house district open, there was a special election, and the Democrats didn't even try to win it, apparently. So they lost it. It was probably winnable.
Same with GA-…
UFC 65 was a night of surprises. Who knew that Tim Sylvia had a ground game, almost choking out a guy (who looked like the love child of Danny DeVito, that guy from The Shield, and a neckless Uncle Fester on steroids) to defend the heavyweight title? Who knew James Irvin would do a better job of…
Mark Townsend, a putative candidate for the U.S. Senate in Alabama, is onto something big. "I am running for U.S. Senator of the Great State of Alabama," he explains, "because I believe in 1906 NCAA was not created. They evolved from the same system of government created by the Roman and British…
Let's pile on Phil Plait! He's arguing against the whole "let's bring the Pope to justice" idea. I will summarize his objections very briefly:
This is not necessarily a skeptical cause, unless they bring a supernatural defense to bear.
Need more tact: "We don't always need warriors. Sometimes…
You know. As a Democrat I'm offended by such things. Though, I don't really have a spine to stand up for my beliefs. So I'll let you win today...
In all fairness, the Republicans have spines, that's how they dominate the Democrats to such an extraordinary extent.
I'd accept that they are spineless
If they'd only choose to whine less
Though, in truth, when one's not whining, then it simply disappears.
We can see they have no backbone,
But it isn't like they lack bone,
Rather oddly, they've collected it, it seems, between their ears.
Do amoebae even qualify for spinelessness? I mean, they don't even have enough cells to make one, unless they were all spine.
Not true PZ, the Jelly Fish can fight thanks to their stinging cells on their tentacles. The Democrats on the other hand apparently have no natural defenses at all.
I'm with Bobryuu. They should replace amoebae and squid with snails and sponges. Worms, jellyfish, snails, and sponges would a fair description of recent congresses.
Yeah, yeah. So do sea urchins.
*snarkle*
What about the arthropods?! The single largest phylum of life, including non-animals, and they get no representation at all here. Of course, they have hard parts, and several are quite capable of putting up a fight if they need to, so I suppose that the message might get compromised.
Any way one looks at it, though, the cartoon puts a pretty low value on invertebrates, which does rather annoy. Invertebrates are opisthokonts, too! (Not that there is anything wrong with not being an opisthokont....)
Amoebas can put up one heck of a fight, as many travellers can attest.
Minnesotans read the bible a little bit differently, apparently.

I heard that a jellyfish was once elected to Congress, but had to resign over a corruption scandal that was brought to light in a sting operation.

Though the worm looks like a harmless oligocheate, I would have to say there are plenty of polycheate annelids that would put up a good fight if your tried handling them.
Yeah. Leeches. They're vicious. I would have to agree. Worms would put up a good fight.
Leeches, dung beetles, aphids . . .
Vote Cthulhlu! why settle for a Lesser Evil
