Shut Up That's Why!<br /><br />People like Megan (Loadpants, Brooks; ALL the Tighty-Rightys) seem to believe every subject is a Propaganda source: science, art, literature, economics- you name it.<br /><br />And when confronted with the dammed Liberally-biased Facts, she will contort herself into bizzarre shapes to insist they support her Faux (Fox) Libertarianism. Sometimes its funny, other times it is as disgusting and contemptible as the people who argued and denied "germ theory" when it was first presented.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03176801494652946278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-77876448457005727792010-07-31T00:23:25.900-05:002010-07-31T00:23:25.900-05:00In addition to the Business and Economics editor o...In addition to the Business and Economics editor of the Atlantic, I hope Megan becomes the Science editor as well.

Yet Megan based an entire <i>season</i> of work on a single industry-funded Rand study. Conveniently, it found that health care innovation is driven by industry profits (which are sacred and should never, ever go down even if that means grandma has to die.)Syznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2222630007427380394.post-68602166674004978042010-07-30T16:47:21.641-05:002010-07-30T16:47:21.641-05:00They're making satire impossible.

Somebody informs him that they still are, and he argues that he still sees them in his town, so that means they're fine.<br /><br />Climate change deniers use this same logic across the board, I guess.
