Bears honor Payton at halftime

Walter Payton, the best football player. Ever.

P.S. While Favre plays for the Vikings, Emmitt Smith played for the Cardinals, Walter Payton would never have played for a Bear’s Divisional Rival. Ever.

come on common man, we never give rat’s ass about the third world. we’re talking about 50 million American lives. there’s not enough resources for everyone to consume like Americans. why do you think we never step into any wars/ genocide (rwanda/liberia/darfur), famine, or dictators in Africa (except that one short time in Somalia, which probably because we didn’t want to waste the aid). but we needed save Iraqis from Saddam? let’s not kid ourselves, we don’t even try to save the poor in America.

just like ahab, you’re missing the point, we’re not trying to save the earth, we’re trying to keep the earth in a state where we can still drive hummers and live in mcmansions.

India May Import Rice, Fueling ‘Panic,’ IRRI Says Oct. 29 (Bloomberg) -- India, the world’s second-largest rice grower, may become a net importer for the first time in 21 years in 2010, potentially sparking the kind of “panic” that sent prices to records in 2008, an agricultural economist said.

I think my favorite argument about AGW was the moral one. How they stood at their pulpits and shook their fingers at us saying that 50 million people would die in 50 years if we did nothing to stop this ‘crisis’.

Meanwhile, 30 million innocent children will die this year for lack of about $70 billion in basic nutrition. It would also take about $2 billion dollars to put clean water wells across the entire continent of Africa saving God knows how many lives. But uncle Algore and the gang who can only see problems down the road are worried about the 50 million that will die in the future…..

The best thing out of all this is, if you ever visit my blog, you will know that I generate reasonably good traffic (1/130th of a Ritholtz!) of horny, impressionable, voting-age American men, to whom I deliver very simple, digestible, and unequivocal political messages. Ritholtz uses reason to try to enlighten his audience, while I go straight to “large br*asted women tend to be Democrats”. Over time, I have driven quite a bit of traffic to the Democratic Party Web site. I get remarkably few dissenting comments. And I don’t have to post too often.

I save humanity and Western civilization with each horny, impressionable male voter who visits my Web site, and I don’t have to try very hard.

@wunsacom 8:30pm — Athiesm is an (unprovable) belief too, and thus is also a religion. Sorry.
