mr2tony - Awww mannn I would've gone there if I were female and had I known I could get a degree in Atheism Studies.

A saying about Bryn Mawr, another of the Seven Sisters along with Barnard, is "only our failures marry".

An atheist alumna of Bryn Mawr told me once that elephants can paint pictures.

An alumna of Noter Dame told me some old guy in funny clothes is the word of god.

DanielG - 2013-02-15 9:26 AMJust curious, did you happen to go to the linked URL and take a look at the article's headline? Perhaps you're reading way too much into it and maybe even projecting a bit. I honestly don't give a damn what network it is/was. I couldn't care less that "THEY did it first" It was just the most idiotic comment I believe I've ever heard on any news item. What the hell do treehouses have to do with one of the talking heads trying to politicize a natural event?

yes I did go to it and read it.  And I completely understand why you posted it the way you posted it.  But had the option to remove the network from the subject line and you chose not to (as I think most wouldn't have).  I fail to see exactly how my comments have been this inflammatory.  It would appear to me that you do care about "they did it first" if it warranted this kind of reaction.  For the record I'm not saying that "they did it first", I'm saying they are the worst offenders and CNN is slowly heading that directions as evidenced by your link.

Lead ins are used to direct the conversation, that is part of the anchors job.  As you stated she is politicizing it when it doesn't need to be and comes off looking idiotic.  And I agree it is quite possibly the worst offense I've ever seen too.

Treehouses was in reference to your comment on making Professions they are not even part of.

Elephants CAN paint pictures. But I wouldn't call an elephant a painter.

Everyone knows that meteors are drawn to the earth by new age vortex centers in California.  The only hope for turning them away is everyone shooting their CZ at them in unison.

CZ? December corn?

Sorry. Agriculture joke.

OK I will concede that this is a pretty stupid thing to say, even for an atheist, if she is one. Everybody knows that asteroids are just rockets fired at us from Uranus.

DanielG - 2013-02-15 8:41 AM Wow, I didn't realize people felt the need to do the "But THEEEEYYYY do it too" about professions they're not even members of. Who the hell cares about what network it was? Why is it important that another network have silly statements as well? No, disregard those, the logic of that is beyond me and it's better that way. Wow. Just wow.

What person with two brain cells to rub together can possibly come up with global warming even as a theory as to why something from probably outside our solar system does a fly by of the Earth?

It makes perfect sense.  Heat makes things expand.  Global warming will make the earth warmer... it gets bigger.  A bigger planet gets hit more.  Therefore global warming will inevitably lead to more asteroid hits. 

Bam, you've got yourself a theory.  Sure it's idiotic but I've heard worse.

Maybe all of those rounds of yours clump together into one big ball of lead before returning to earth, in like say Russia?  That would prove that guns are the problem after all.

Reminds me of the line from the original Vacation:

``You got Pac Man?''
``Nope.''
``You got Asteroids?''
``No, but my dad does when he uses the toilet.''
``What do you do for fun around here?''
``Gotta stack 'o nudie books this high.''

This is the best thread I have ever seen....

Just a couple questions...where is Al Gore to claim he invented asteroids?  And where is Dan Quayle to misspell "asteroid?"

The Illinois Senate passes a bill allowing gay marriage on the exact same day a meteor strikes Russia?

NO WAY that is a coincidence.

What's interesting is that those comments on the CNN site are taking the fact that a Barnard graduate with a degree in English literature who works as a news anchor on CNN is ignorant about a basic science fact and turns it into an attack on religioius people.

Why?

Because it doesn't fit the narrative.

I know!  Especially when it's CLEARLY Obama's fault.

It's not.

But what people don't realize is that the bill being passed was the Illinois Senate's revenge against god for striking Russia with a meteor. It doesn't matter that the bill passed before the meteor struck; it was preemptive revenge.

Coverage by the major news networks to follow:

FoxNews - Could this Meteor be God's response to Obama's attacks on marriage?

CNN - Could God be getting into the gun debate with a shot of his own but his bullets are meteors? And should God be allowed to own a weapon of such high caliber and high capacity?

MSNBC - George W Bush clearly cut-back too much on space exploration and the Republicans continue to do so even as meteors are bearing-down on us.

HLN- JVM/NancyGrace- There were 34 women killed by these meteors but only 12 men, showing that women are being oppressed even by meteors!

HLN- Robin Meade- Look at this cute picture of a russian bunny just before it gets evaporated by a meteor.  So CUUUUUUTE!!!
