He must be getting nasty saddle sores riding that shaky high horse.

As against those lower down, smoothed bum riders with nary a red mark save for the blood of spur and whip from a carcass suffering equine anemia.

Jack needs some advice for better performance, and it is available! All is not lost Jack!!!

1. Buying a stronger whip.[recommended]

2. Changing riders.[Too obvious]

3. Saying things like “This is the way we always have ridden this horse.” [Suffers from repetition]

4. Appointing a committee to study the horse.[Difficult to find that committee in the Strocciverse]

5. Arranging to visit other sites to see how they ride dead horses. [eg Catallaxy]

6. Increasing the standards to ride dead horses. [Seek multicultural schools]

7. Appointing a tiger team to revive the dead horse.[Spanish/Mexican expert, Alberto Gonzales.]

8. Creating a training session to increase our riding ability. [Instructors MarkL, Birdy et al]

9. Comparing the state of dead horses in today’s environment.

10. Change the requirements declaring that “This horse is not dead.” [Only useful for the gullible]

11. Hire contractors to ride the dead horse. [Expensive]

12. Harnessing several dead horses together for increased speed. [Bamboozles the opposition]

13. Declaring that “No horse is too dead to beat.”

14. Providing additional funding to increase the horse’s performance. [Electric shock therapy, but necrotic tissue is a longer term problem]

He “does not recall” his self-damning statements.

Neither do you, it seems. The fact that I didn’t make them might have put the kybosh on that little enterprise.

AGW is a fact and anyone who suggests otherwise is a fact-denier…Skepticism about the bleeding obvious is on a par with factual denialism. Which amounts to spreading falsehoods, for those who are too busy to go back to source.

Mmh, let me see here…no, no, no and, erm, no. That’s a clean sweep. I hope it didn’t you take you the whole weekend to come up with that stale donut, Gino Mitty. The next time you want to lie about me, save yourself the bother.

I do get a kick out of being depicted as monstrous by those I’ve thoroughly cheesed off.

Fydor should not flatter himself. The clinical description for his type is “low-life scum bag”, of the sort one keeps at arms length – all the better to study dispassionately. He has only one note: false.

You mean “falsness”, right? Actually, I’m not sure you know what that word means – you got it dead wrong above.

But zombie fits his behaviour pattern better. It does not seem to matter how many times one factually bludgeons the heads of the post-seventies liberal living dead, they keep lumbering towards you with arms outstretched. Still chanting the ideological mantras they lapped up like suckers as the post-modernist curse was being laid on them in those light-headed times. The only thing that does not surprise me is that Fyodor thinks zombie-hood is a state to aspire to.

[Oh, come on. You knew this was coming.]

Shorter Mezzostrocchinino: Fyodor has thoroughly cheesed me off!

You really should pay more attention to detail, Gino. It’s an habitual failing of yours. I don’t think “zombie-hood is a state to aspire to” and said nothing of the sort. You even quoted me, you silly sausage, so you’re going to have a deuce of a time proving my “falsness” now. Besides, Gino, if I were to become a shambling, rambling, mindless creature, how would people tell us apart?

Don’t get up up. Oh, sorry, didn’t realise you were already standing.

My regards to Dolley.

Um, *ahem*?! Could I puh-leeze get a little fuckin’ respect here? Or else, the next friggin’ constitution I write is gonna make all’a y’alls gums bleed.

Just give me my propers, which is not too much to ask, and I promise Godzilla will remain in his secure undersea prison at least for the time being. That is all.

Nixon was not the only bad president therefore Pat Buchanan has productive contributions to make to the polity. And why isn’t a completely forgettable speech he delivered at a political convention nearly 18 years ago not seared into everyone’s minds, the way it is into mine? Also I don’t understand Jefferson’s role in drafting the operating manual for a bunch of loosely federated 18th century agrarian and trading communities.

I don’t recall ever stating AGW to be false,…I’m a sceptic, not a credulist, of either stripe. Perhaps you can refer me to some notable instances of my vain entreaties to the world about said “falsness”. It shouldn’t be too hard;

Fyodor is a compulsive distorter and denier of science and a distorter and denier about his moronic distortions and denials. He “does not recall” his self-damning statements. How convenient. Thats the shifty evasiveness of the common-or-garden crook being put on the spot on the dock. (The parallel does not end there.)

Its never “too hard” to show Fyodor perverting “language, truth and logic” on such matters. Just google “Fyodor + [fill in the blank]” and you tap into an endless cesspool of anti-scientific fads, fallacies and falsities. Its not surprising when you consider that New Right and New Left liberals of his ilk came of age with the New Age. That kind of post-modernism is really just intellectual sabotage dressed up in fancy mumbo-jumbo.

In the case of climate change it wasnt so long ago that he tried fairly feebly to cast doubt on AGW. The scientists made great sport of batting his follies back and forth accross cyber-space. But he kept yacking away with some phony skeptic-cum-solipsistic schtick about “uncertainty…incredible complexity…more research needed” etc, quite oblivious to the fool he was making of himself. Rather in the manner of Wile E. Coyote furiously running on the spot as he plunges into the canyon.

For those who’ve got the stomach for this kind of thing heres “notable instances” of Fyodor’s AGW obfuscation:

Whether this is anthropogenic or not is the key question, and I dispute your assertion that it is settled…Disproving that theory would not prove that existing warming is anthropogenic,

I’ll state for the record, for those putative inquisitors out there who don’t know my position, that I am a AGW skeptic in the true sense, i.e. I don’t know what the f#ck is going on, and I don’t think the scientists do either

Of course scientists do not know what is going on. Thats why scientists, the poor deluded fools, keep giving Nobel Prizes to proponents of the AGW theory. Sheer bloody-minded obtuseness. Thank god we have all-round wise guys like Fyodor to set them straight!

Here’s another taste for those who can control their gag reflex:

if it’s not anthropogenic, then “reducing man-made carbon emissions” will do SFA for our chances…no matter what the cause of warming

Okay, enough already, for pity’s sake. Wild eyed crack pots and cranks like Fyodor have been accosting scientists in corridors for god knows how long, breathlessly insisting that the so-called experts have got it all wrong and only they know the invented a perpetual motion machine, know the truth about WTC Building 7, debunked AGW etc. Most scientists long ago developed institutional nut-screens to shield themselves from such nuisances. But the internet has opened up vast new vistas for the cyber serial pest.

AGW is a fact and anyone who suggests otherwise is a fact-denier. The rapid collapse of Larsen B and the West Antartic Ice shelf means we have already wasted way too much time humouring dolts like Fyodor.

Now wait for an endless quibble on the (in this case, distinction-without-a-) difference between casting doubt on standard science and assertions of outright falsehood. Skepticism about the bleeding obvious is on a par with factual denialism. Which amounts to spreading falsehoods, for those who are too busy to go back to source.
