On Monday’s Radio Show…
August 4, 2008• Alan’s back!
• Congresswoman Diana DeGette (D-CO) explains why a “right-wing assault on reason” is misleading Americans on sex education, birth control, abortion and stem cell research.
• Is there a scientific way to see into the future? The Merlin Project presents its predictions on what you’re concerned about: the economy, energy and VP contenders.
Mose’s staff ss. Merlin’s staff. An epic battle? Or the greatest gay porn film ever? I retard. You decide.
ss should be vs., but that’s to be expected from me.
Whose Mose?
oh yeah
fourth!
Ah, thanks, Captain Apostrophe.
Moses’.
Umm, the “Conservative” is Captain Apostrophe…
Don’t you correct the apostrophe placement in words like “wouldn’t”?
Just that idiot…
Well, I gave you a title, so you should feel dones blessed.
Is there a scientific way to see into the future? The Merlin Project presents its predictions on what you’re concerned about: the economy, energy and VP contenders.
Obama must be one of the users of this considering its track record:
2008 MERLIN Project® Forecast Projections
Tuesday, January 2, 2008
The 2008 Presidential Sweepstakes: On the Democratic side, the MERLIN timetraks® give the projected edge to John Edwards and Barack Obama, even though Hillary Clinton appears to have opened up a commanding lead. Watch for Edwards and Obama to prevail in Iowa and possibly in New Hampshire as well, derailing Hillary’s inevitability mantle. MERLIN does not see her winning the nomination or, if she’s nominated, the general election. Richardson or Obama could be tapped for the Democrat’s VP. slot.
Among the Republicans, MERLIN likes Romney and Thompson with a nod to mavericks Ron Paul and John McCain. Mike Huckabee’s boomlet is likely to be short-lived although he or McCain may get a VP nod. Rudy Giuliani’s largely fictitious 9/11 ‘legend’ is likely to catch up with him.
Then, there’s NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg. If he decides to run as an independent he won’t enter the race until February or March 2008 at the earliest and it won’t be just as a spoiler. If he jumps into the fray it will be to win it all. MERLIN would rate that contest as: advantage Bloomberg! Politically, 2008 could well turn out to be the watershed year Dr. Hart has been predicting, along with Libertarian Party founder David Nolan, for a number of years, most recently in May 2006 on the nationally-syndicated ‘Alan Colmes Show’ on FOX News Radio
Elsewhere in 2008: The US economy is likely to take further big hits, especially in the housing and manufacturing sectors leading to palpable recession fears by the second or third quarter of the year. Both the NYSE and the NASDAQ show early and high instability and the Chinese stock market may again be a prominent player as Dr. Hart indicated last year. The absence of a year-end rally may be a harbinger of things to come.
Complications from global climate change will become much more evident and ominous in 2008 and further instances of ‘cooking the books’ in that regard and in a multitude of others, by the current administration, will surface. Impeachment proceedings, while probably not initiated will be seriously discussed and considered in light of new administration revelations of wrongdoing. Vice President Cheney’s continued well-being and/or professional stature will be in further jeopardy this year and possibly even that of the President.
Global terrorism is likely to make a dramatic comeback this year and battlefield losses in Iraq will again be on the increase. The forgotten war in Afghanistan and continued instability in ‘nuclear power’ Pakistan will compete with news from Iraq for our attention and concern. The passing of Ariel Sharon will likely cause a further political reshuffling among the competing factions in the government of Israel.
blah blah blah
Alan, first order of business for your radio show, a belated happy birthday (7/29) to me.
Thanks in advance ol’ buddy, ol’ pal.
The Merlin Project? Is this the Colmes show or “Coast to Coast”?
What’s next? Space aliens? Area 51?
George? Is that you filling in for Alan tonight?
I think he’s had them on before. I hope aliens aren’t a topic.
Alan is rested….he’s on fire with that cabbie Bob.
Alan Colmes, you are a disgrace to thought and reason and all our Greco-Roman Aristotelian traditions of rational thought. Your sophistry is a distortion of everything concerning truth and it is a shame that your selfless propulsion of trial lawyer cross-examination tactics to misconstrue an accurate line of reasoning. If anyone goes to you for the liberal perspective and they have a shred of sense then they would walk away more concerned than ever about the state of a nation under liberal leadership. At least the AAR hacks give the image of an alternative for people driven solely by BDS, you just portray an imbecile who decides issues by crackpot idealism.
Yes. The whiner!
Ha ha. Ah. This is funny.
Maybe Bush has blinded by science? Maybe Thomas Dolby knows.
has been blinded by science.
“Chastity belts” are the alternate Christian means of birth control, after abstinence.
Ah, the “good ol’ days” of chastity belts and the Crusades and the Catholic Inquisitions.
Back to the future.
Oops.
I guess a “chastity belt” is the same thing as “abstinence”.
The only difference being who’s choice the abstinence was.
Hi Alan, glad you’re back. When you’re on vacation, so am I.
where’s the activity?
nooooooo alien crap. damn it.
alan, you snubbeth me and talk about aliens? what’s next, the olympics?!!
just stab me in the heart now.
that link doesn’t work.
there’s a hyphen after the g

Oh. I am an LLC? How nice.
I’m talking to myself again. oh crudy crud.
If John-the-redneck-trucker can have a nickname, it’s past time for Miss Cheryl to get her official Colmes Show nickname.
The floor is open for nickname nominations.
I want the name Babbler.
Another piece of S#IT congress woman tells why murdering an unborn HUMAN BEING is ok.
Pure S#IT for brains.
You have NO reasoning Diana, But pure liberal bildge!
WFG, friends are here…be cool
Finawwy. snifff
poor cheryl can’t get on.
I’d like to turn Japanese, I really think so. Then I’ll have an army of killer sex androids, because you the Japanese will have them first.
that was me WFG….forgot my name there
Yep, Bush and Congress fault, and both their fault for not stopping the war.
ok, winnie, gotya.
you know they will have them first. dyslexia has just struck.
I can’t murder or become gay unless Nike tells me to Just Do It.
…cue the drums….
Yeah. You can be my Max Weinberg.
No…I WILL BE CONAN!
Conan. Winnie. What’s the difference?
LOL
I’ll right. Going off now. Later, whomever.
later wfg
Alan: What’s the staTe of the union now? . . I think you’re corrupt, just glad you got a job . . like the rest of the whigs . .
I’m listening to the “gearhead” on your rerun show trying to claim your mpg is only dependent on your engine rpms? That your ground speed doesn’t matter? That a reduced national speed limit won’t save fuel? You seem to think he might know what he’s talking about?
BS. Pardon my French.
Unfortunately, the “gearhead” left out a little thing called aerodynamic drag from his theory. His theory would only hold water in the perfect vacuum of space.
If he was a mechanical engineer instead of a “gearhead” he’d have picked up the real information in Fluid Mechanics class and he wouldn’t have tried to convince you of his nonsense theory.
As you go faster, it takes more energy (gasoline or diesel fuel) to cover the same distance. Drag force increases with the square of velocity. That’s the physics and everything downstream from that is the engineering to handle it.
F(d)=1/2pv^2C(d)A
F(d) = drag force
p = mass density of the fluid you’re passing through
v = velocity of the vehicle
C(d) = drag coefficient
A = frontal area of the vehicle
I haven’t sat in Fluid Mechanics class in a long time, but that’s the equation the drag chapter starts with. Vehicle aerodynamic drag force increases steadily until around 50-60mph, then makes a steep turn and goes more vertical.
You want a real world demonstration of just how powerful this force is? Try driving across Wyoming on a windy late summer day. Drive into a 50mph wind in an underpowered truck. You may find your “airspeed” is 90mph while the truck is maxed out at a ground speed of only 40.
Believe me, it takes a long, long time to cross Wyoming at 40mph. And it’s embarrassing.
Rather than repeat nonsense, please try to get an engineer on as a guest. Try the SAE or similar organizations for a good guest. Or, just ask the local college to send over their Fluid Mechanics instructor.
There are more than a few cars that DO get better mileage at 60-65 than at 55.
Depends on the efficiency and tuning of the engine.
It takes more energy to run 65 than it does to run 55. Downstream from that, it all depends on the engineering choices made as the vehicle is built.
A car that gets better fuel economy at 65 than it does at 55 is suffering from some whopper poor engineering or driving choices. Drop down a gear and wind the motor out to get worse economy at 55?
A vehicle engineered for the best fuel economy it can get at 55mph will always get better fuel economy than one engineered for the best it can do at 65. Always.
Thank you, and good night.
Something that ties in with the book topic: how the right wing has a monopoly on linguistics in political discourse. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pQfXLW127E0
Pretty interesting video and book. http://www.amazon.com/Talking-Right-Conservatives-Latte-Drinking-Hollywood-Loving/dp/1586485091/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1217926389&sr=8-1
