dorancha has correctly pointed out, without implying that I personally was a communist, that the Smurfs are pretty much commies living in a Marxist Utopia. Some bloggers have accused me of socialism in my Tragedy of the Commons Explained with Smurfs article.

You know who the real commies are in the blogowebs? My critics, who give their content away for free!!! (Gasp! Scandal Alert!)

That’s right. I get paid to blog. Okay? If I was a socialist, I would be blogging for free, like all those faux free-market bloggers.

You think they really believe in the free market? Then why aren’t they getting paid to write about it? Because they’re closet Marxists, snuggling up with the Communist Manifesto before bed every night! Reading their blogs is like having cybersex with someone claiming to be a BBW asian girl who’s actually a hairy trucker wearing panty-hose!!!

So remember. Every time you use a Commie-based, Web 2.0 resource like Wikipedia, a blog that isn’t ideonexus, or the webbernets in general, you are taking money away from honest, hard-working American capitalists, like myself. That’s what I think everyone needs to know and understand here.

I am a 100% All-American Heterosexual Capitalist Blogger.

Science Etcetera Marsday, 20080212

Tuesday, February 12th, 2008
  • Mark your calendars! Friday! FRIDAY!! FRIDAY!!! April 18 at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia there is now scheduled a Science Debate and the candidates have been invited, but Do they have the fortitude? Plus Debating the science debate.
  • Despite the Creation Museum’s assertion that humans lived with dinosaurs, the evidence doesn’t support it; however, we do now know that Modern Birds lived with the terrible lizards.
  • When educational institutions ban Wikipedia they are cutting their students off from the future of knowledge, David Parry argues that incorporating it in academia will lead to digital literacy.
  • Scientists Without Borders is a new initiative to Network Scientists. Obviously they haven’t heard of my Facebook friends list.
  • Why does It Rains Less on Weekends? Because there’s less particulate matter (ie. air pollution).
  • It’s obvious and yet more complicated than that, how Writing Separates History from Prehistory, and why it even came about.
  • They should have simply evolved breasts, but the amphibian caecilian feeds her young with her skin, and the process has been captured on film for the first time.
  • Neuroscience on Stamps… on a website that looks like it was scripted in 1998.
  • And now a moment of science. A solar wind stream hit Earth on February 10th, sparking beautiful bright auroras around the Arctic Circle (the below image is not one of those, but an old NASA composite) (HT Carolyn).
