Renew America

Posted by apostropher

So, The Poor Man is trying to swear off Alan Keyes' Renew America site, the home of such luminaries as Kaye Grogan and Jen "the media won't tell you that Laci Peterson was murdered by Satanists" Schroder, but that's a bit like swearing you won't stare at the car wreck as you drive by. The columnists are, of course, delightfully batty, but the real red meat comes in the open forums. And when I say red meat, I mean utterly incoherent word salad. Take it away, Rev. Dr. R. Peter Johnson of North Platte, Nebraska!

RenewAmerica Forum: Isn't it a domino theory instead of a conspiracy theory? Isn't it one drugged profoundly challenged poor soul stalking, stiffing, stuffing and eventually killing another? Isn't it the rampant exploiting of innocent people pharmed unto slavery? Doesn't it originate with one awful event where life's energy is taken from someone who was temporarily unprotected? Despite increasingly enforced codes of silence, this topic which surfaced especially during the 1960's is important to discuss within nonviolently friendly circles today. While some fear there aren't sufficient beings in the world now to discuss what a conspiracy theory would be if one were to be formulated or which groups would qualify, your RenewAmerica Forum question is inviting. Thanks to the prevalence in past RenewAmerica Forum postings of what smacked of regressively assertive, mainstreamed, profoundly challenged contributors with their stolen unchanged rough drafts, there has been a dearth of pithy writings which could've helped avoid some of the recent disasterous stunts pulled around the universe. And, if "conspiracy theory" is a new people pharming drugs enforcing product line, then, please, excuse this instructive effort online rough draft.

Suh-weet. And that's only the second comment in the thread...

Where have you been all my life? This blog is hilarious. I've been suffering from extreme lack of a sense of humor recently and I've been trolling for some new funny. Even Berube wasn't making me laugh anymore. Extremely glad The Poor Man linked to you today. If I can ever figure out any damn thing about creating a sidebar (one that shows up somewhere other than the bottom of the page), I'll link to you from my blog, which has about 4 readers. Congratulations, you've won an exceedingly worthless prize.

Keep up the good work, my friend.

"...is important to discuss within nonviolently friendly circles today."

nonviolently friendly?

This one sent me flying to The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (no household should be without a copy). A near-perfect example of racing thoughts and wonderful clang associations. I, like Herr Dr. Krauthammer, do not shirk from making long-distance diagnoses. My conclusion. . . Sorry, time is up.

This reminds me of when I spent way too much time in an AI discussion group discussing the feasibility of, well, AI.

I went so far as to write an exec that simulated the discussions taking place. Here is a sample three sentence output:

"Suppose, for instance, that the formal-system versus instantiation distinction is nothing more, nor less, than a methodological solipsism. On our assumptions, causal power, apart from intentionality, contains those structures. Presumably, the theory of syntactic features developed earlier is, apparently, determined by the aspects equivalent to any formal system."

Sometimes this junk could actually make a freakish sense, but only because the human mind is so good at seeing patterns and meaning, even when they don't exist.
