White Basketball

This electrifying news just in, from Think Progress:

"A new professional basketball league called the All-American Basketball Alliance (AABA) sent out a press release on Sunday saying that it intends to start its inaugural season in June, with teams in 12 U.S. cities. However, the AABA is different from other sports leagues because only players who are “natural born United States citizens with both parents of Caucasian race are eligible to play in the league."

I hope they are planning on putting the baskets at oh, say, 8'-6" or so. Otherwise, those are going to be some low scoring games.

Steve Nash does pretty well for himself in the NBA. It's racist like you who perpetuate myths about whites and blacks somehow being different.

Derek,

Read my last comment a couple of posts below. I've had it with your lies. Go away; you are no longer welcome here.

From Dereks blog: "Author Derek Foley sheds light on a number of subjects ranging from politics to science ... using his uncommon sense."

Science too. Yes, you can always count on a sophomoric (literally) Republican to politicize science when it doesn't confirm to their "strict father," family values, authoritarian, arrogant, self-centered, self-censored, denialist worldview ... especially when they have a READING COMPREHENSION problem.

You can't fix stupid!

Politicize science? Like the IPCC? No, I think science should be just that, science. No politics involved. As seen in the global warming debate, politics ruins science and even replaces it on occasion.

Check my blog under the science section, I'm sure it surprise you as GE's posts about science aren't really scientific at all.

I want to make the following statement: I have never, before today, removed a comment from my blog. I didn't even know how to do it, but I have removed the above comment, not because it was offensive (it was,) but because the poster has been wasting lots of my time and of my reader's time with tendentious lies.

I only ask of people who comment here that they have some kind of interest in discussion. This person is interested in nothing but disruption and egotistical braying, and that does no one any good. I have repeatedly asked him to take a more serious and honest tack here, but he has consistently refused; and I have no more time for him. I believe I have been more than patient, but my patience has now run out.

As an end to this now moribund discussion, Green Eagle would like to apoligize for his inappropriate remark about the 8'-6" baskets. Actually, I don't think the score of these games will be that much lower than in the NBA. After all, white guys can't play defense either.

It's Okay, Never Mind

The woman in this picture, equipped with the weapons and ammunition shown, was found outside a National guard base. She is apparently a big Glenn Beck fan, and believed that the base was a FEMA concentration camp. Think she's the only one out there? You just know this sort of thing is not going to end well.

If a Tree Falls In the Woods

 And nobody hears it, is it really running for President at all? First of all, a note about my absence lately:  My wife got me to sign up for an account at Threads, which is sort of like X without the assholes.  I've spent a little time establishing myself there, and I have to say, I do like the relatively immediate exchange of views, but I don't mean to give up my blog- there are still so many things that can't be dealt with in a couple hundred words, so, perhaps to your dismay, I am back. So, what motivated the above question is the fact that the Sunday New York Times today had seven articles about Trump, and absolutely zero about Kamala Harris.   The Republicans have a problem with Harris, in that virtually everyone who sees her likes her and immediately understands how qualified she is to be President.  They have tried mightily the last month to find some way to smear her, but have been spectacularly unsuccessful- the tactics of character assassination ...

Wingnuts Slightly Annoyed about that $83 Million

Image
How can you look like a decrepit old geezer and an out of control two year old at the same time? I thought it might be nice to look in on wingnut world to see how they are taking yesterday's $83 million dollar Trump legal loss.  You kind of know that they will decide it shouldn't affect their opinion of him in any way, but it might be helpful to see just how the Republican party has trained them to reject any fact they don't like.  Not that surprisingly, a lot of the usual wingnut suspects didn't touch this loss at all, preferring to just ignore anything that interferes with their hateful daydreams, but here are a few excerpts from an article at Gateway Pundit, along with a sample of the hundreds of comments it received.  Enjoy.  Or not. "Trump attorney Alina Habba WENT OFF after the crooked New York City court slapped President Trump with an $83 million judgment for speaking out against the disgusting lies of a crazed woman who said he lured her into a Bergdorf Go...
