Damn, Olbermann Just Ripped Texas

Cornell Ag, Ms. Coulter; which is located on the main campus, was founded nine years after the University itself, and has one of two ungergrad business programs in the Ivies (I believe the other is Wharton/UPenn). Although, I do take exception when any politician/commentator feels the need to rip a state or city to make their point. San Francisco and Massachuessetts, for example.

 

I'm not so sure No Child Left Behind worked here. Please retest brian-chapman.

Yeah we all know he went to Cornell*. He showed us the paper!

Another reason why I aviod taking Cable News talking heads seriously. Olbermann was quite good when the Countdown first started, but has slowly faded into Olbermann's televised blog to America.

I honestly think Olbermann has issues outside of work he carries with him. He use to make sense, bring in left and right prospectives on issues and would call out the BS on both sides of the isle. You could tell he was a Liberal but he was not overally over the top with it. Ever since around 2006 or so.....he has been off the wall with his obsession with O'Reilly and his Holier than thou 'Special Comment' garbage. He is now nothing more than an angry-left version of Beck.

My wife still watches him daily so I get to see quite a bit. He has become irrelevant like the rest of them.

 

Maybe he sees their ratings and feels like he needs to crank it up a notch.

 

Crazy gets attention. just ask EBM...

 

Nothing new from the state who's Board of Education is attempting to re-write history for it's curriculum.

Some examples...

— On a 7-6 vote, the board decided to add “causes and key organizations and individuals of the conservative resurgence of the 1980s and 1990s, including Phyllis Schafly, the Contract with America, the Heritage Foundation, the Moral Majority, and the National Rifle Association” to the curriculum.

– The Republican majority voted against requiring Texas textbooks and teachers to cover the Democratic late senator Edward Kennedy, the first Hispanic Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor, and leading Hispanic civil rights groups such as LULAC and MALDEF. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Thurgood Marshall, the country’s first African-American Supreme Court justice, will be taught.

– Republican Don McLeroy lost a battle to “remove hip-hop and insert country music in its place from a proposed set of examples of cultural movements.” Republican Patricia Hardy said that while she disliked hip hop music, pretending it wasn’t around was “crazy.” “These people are multimillionaires, and believe me, there are not enough black people to buy that,” she said. “There are white people buying this. It has had a profound effect.” Country music was added as a separate measure.

– “McLeroy was successful with another of his noteworthy amendments: to include documents that supported Cold War-era Sen. Joseph McCarthy and his contention that the U.S. government was infiltrated with Communists in the 1950s.”

– “Republican board member Cynthia Dunbar unsuccessfully tried to strike the names of Scopes monkey trial attorney Clarence Darrow and Pan-Africanist Marcus Garvey from the standards. Asked by another member about her opposition to Garvey, Dunbar explained, according to the Texas Tribune: “My concern is that he was born in Jamaica and was deported.”

– The board “included a requirement for students in U.S. history classes to differentiate between legal and illegal immigration.”

 

my goodness this state has its fair share of idiots.

 

Evolution is indeed fact in the eyes of science?, who are the eyes of science again? I read your post twice and missed that...... Last time I checked evolution was not a fact but a theory...... So lets research..
"Evolutionists have been very clear about this distinction of fact and theory from the very beginning, if only because we have always acknowledged how far we are from completely understanding the mechanisms (theory) by which evolution (fact) occurred" says evolutionist Stephen Jay Gould .... So now evolution is fact and theory, facts because of the experiments providing results backing up evolution and theory because i yet to have been proven real....... So, lets look at creation..... The dead sea scrolls exist? right.... Therefor it can be considered a fact of creation, scholar John Allegero writes "Excitement had run high among scholars when it became known in 1948 that a cave near the Dead Sea had produced pre-Massoretic texts of the Bible" so we can not deny they exist. Now this is when evolution gets theory and creation gets religion..... Now, what does this do? It bans "religion" or creation from schools and textbooks..... None have been proven yet one is being taught while the oter is being pushed out of the country because of the word "religion".... One can argue evolution is a religion, I mean there has to be a great amount of faith in beliving something not seen.... Eh, this topic should be researched upon greatly before even trying to post....... It is not one sided, there are scientific facts backing up creation as well as scientific facts backing up evolution... I know what I believe in, do you?

 

can we turn this back to a "Olbermann is a douche" thread and away from an evolution thread?

 

Yes!

 

Unfortunately, texas has a special place in the textbook industry and often dictates curriculum for the entire nation.

 

where did he mention texas?

And why did he misquote the child predator as saying "evolve" instead of "involve..."

Does he always play Toccata and Fugue during that segment? Really ruins the song for me.

 

what segment was it in? You linked the worst person in the something video.
