Welcome to your Thursday open thread. The election is only 12 days away! What are we going to do afterwards? I think I’ll have to rest my hands for a bit – too much blogging!
I’m starting to believe that Chris Coons is actually running against a rightwing blogger. There seems to be no amount of BS out of rightwing nutjobs that Christine O’Donnell won’t repeat. Yesterday, rightwing nutjob Glenn Beck supported O’Donnell’s evolution nonsense:
On his radio show today, Beck wondered how many people in the country believe in evolution, and said he doesn’t: “I don’t think we came from monkeys. I think that’s ridiculous. I haven’t seen a half-monkey, half-person yet.”
“If I get to the other side and God’s like, ‘You know what, yep, you were a monkey once,’ I’ll be shocked, but I’ll be cool with it,” he said.
“They have to make you care,” Beck continued. “They have to force it down your throat. When anybody has to force it — it’s a problem. You didn’t have to force that the world was round. Truth is truth.”
That makes perfect sense. If evolution were true there’d be half man-half monkeys running around. Just like half dogs-half cats and cows that don’t taste good.
Crazy story out of Cincinnati where a juror realized during opening statements in a criminal domestic abuse trial that she was the anonymous caller to 911 in the case. She reportedly blurted out: “I was the person who made the 911 call. It woke me up out of my bed and I saw him beating on her. I thought she must be dead.” The judge declared a mistrial, and the juror will be a state witness in the new trial.
I guess they picked the right juror?
I don’t know if you’ve seen this video of Anderson Cooper taking apart Christine O’Donnell’s 1st amendment answer. It’s pretty sweet.
