1. CNN’s S.E. Cupp to Bill Nye: You science guys are bullying us.

Remember when we all used to agree that science and knowledge were good things? When scholarship was respected? When we looked to educated people to do research and inform us what was actually going on with the world?

2. A sign that Fox News’ Benghazi obsession just might be getting out of hand.

OK, we’re not sure, but we think that it just might be possible that Fox News is developing an unhealthy obsession with Benghazi. We’re just worried that maybe they should see someone for that particular problem. There are treatments for these kind of things. There’s cognitive behavioral therapy to loosen the grip that such obsessions have. You can acquire tools to drive away these negative, repetitive thoughts swirling around in your brain. The thoughts that are preventing you from thinking about or doing anything about actual problems like, oh, we don’t know . . . maybe climate catastrophe!!!

3. Charles Krauthammer continues the assault on science, calling it superstition.

Hey, Fox News managed to find another crazy, irresponsible idiot disguised as a sentient being to debunk facts and science: good old Charles Krauthammer. He said on Tuesday that the belief in global climate change is mere “superstition” akin to the “rain dance of Native Americans.”

4. Pat Robertson: Fighting climate change will destroy America.

Pat Robertson added his sober assessment to the news of the new study on climate change’s damaging impact on the U.S. by warning that efforts to combat climate change will “ destroy America.”

1. Are we surprised by this idiocy?

I think not.

Our system of public education has been systematically dismantled and subverted by the corporate megalomaniacs (who've usurped our media, our politics, AND our global economy). For the past sixty years, we've been taught (primarily) to be complacent and compliant -- just as all good factory fodder and service industry drones should be.

2. No, Pat, ignoring climate change will destroy America.

3. Krauthammer is the kind of self-obssesed

sociopath who picks his nose and eats his snot.
