McCain Thinks/Knows We're Stupid

I found this dandy little chart to be extremely illustrative of a point I've been making for several decades. Republicans have consistently relied on voters to respond favorably to their ad hominum attacks on intelligent candidates (they are out of touch) and general fear-mongering (the rest of the world is out to get us and we must respond militarily). All of this while they denuded the very fabric of security that would keep people from being susceptible to this bullshit at the onset. In the Bush era, Republicans have been tantamount to rapists. Screwing the poor is sport to them - they have no shame.

The Crickster!

Francis Crick Discovers DNA Thanks to LSD: Crick spent the 50s and 60s throwing all night parties famous for featuring that era's favorite party favors: LSD and nudity. Crick never made it a secret that he experimented with the drug, and in 2006, the London paper The Mail on Sunday reported that Crick had told many colleagues that he was experimenting with LSD when he figured out the double helix structure.

Thank you, BoingBoing!
