Because everyone is stupid. Even the people who came up with this list fall into these traps.

I bet you $10 nobody else in the whole world will ever have that headline. EVER.

Scientists have discovered that the ‘tree of life’ – our understanding of the evolutionary connections between species – needs a rewrite.

Some of them are lame, others are awesome. All are fictional, alas.

Bob Zubrin has an absolutely brilliant idea: require new vehicles to be equipped to run flex-fuel, i.e., from either alcohol fuels or regular gasoline. The technology seems to be proven and the cars are a small segment of the market today – so small, unfortunately, that most gas station owners don’t want to put in pumps for alcohol fuels that almost nobody can use. If new cars can use either pump, drivers can choose ethanol or methanol or other biofuels – making them instantly economically viable across the country. But never mind my blathering – go read the whole piece, it’s excellent.

Normally I am opposed to direct government mandates on technology. But this is one that I think the car companies would like. And if the car companies don’t like it, in this case I’m willing to put pure capitalism behind economic nationalism. And, it f**** OPEC, and I’m pretty much in favor of anything that does that.

This is a great idea, and it’s interesting how strong the correlations are. It’s also interesting to note that Christian books have a wide span of associated intellectualism, with people listing “The Holy Bible” at one end and “Mere Christianity” at the other end – and just “The Bible” in the middle.

Per the gender and racial politics of the boilerplate left:

If you don’t vote for Hillary, it’s because you hate and fear powerful women.

If you don’t vote for Barack, it’s because you hate and fear black people.

Good luck, Democratic party!

An oldie, but new to me: Jack Shafer looks into the Enquirer’s record and comes away impressed.

Hillary hasn’t been spanked like this since the time Bill proposed a little experiment in B&D.

If every Hillary voter picked an Obama voter, and the two of them fought to the death and both died, then all of the remaining Obama voters will still win – and would outnumber the Edwards voters 3:2.

That’s not a victory by Obama, that’s a crushing steamroller of a victory.

This is pretty hilarious, right here.

Interesting advice. I’m going to have to take some of it.
