[...] that muck-raking Boris-lover decides to accuse the freedom loving Democrats of starting the food fight we now call politics. I could attack his facts with facts of my own to prove him utterly wrong but I won’t waste [...]

@tom Vail Sure do wish we could make the harvest tomorrow. It sounds like fun, and of course, it sounds like a grand photo op! Alas, Luise and I are graveyard workers and won’t be off work before your start time. Rats! I can’t wait for the next vintage

Sounds like you’ll be busy! Me, I’m always astonished at how productive you are – too bad the OWSers can’t seem to see the connection between being productive and at least a modicum of success.

Cheers,
Steven

Mixed emotions……
Glad that the Skald is back, having fun and in his words, “wielding the sharpened word.”
Sad that he brought up a topic I had almost put to rest, the torpedoing of one of the best nominees for the Supreme Court ever.
Had never given much thought to where the true ‘us-vs.-them’ and ‘win-at-all-costs’ came to play in WDC. I guess the Bork nomination is as good a place to start as any. It certainly set the standard for its time.
Will post on a similar subject, Gamesmanship, in the next week or so, but have too much to do between work, harvest tomorrow, and keeping up with the world. Who knows? It may be two weeks until my next post.
Thanks for making me think.

Tom

His references are to a HuffPo article. A kind conservative linked to this photo to illustrate a point and naturally every liberal went off Hey, it sure gave me a surge in hits, and a few even stuck around to read some other material! Thank you to the kind conservative and the HuffPo. I read James’ comments at HuffPo, and seriously, the kid just seems to spew nonsense. Here’s the scary part: I think he really thinks he knows what he’s talking about. Creeps. Me. Out.

Irony overload… complaining about logical fallacies while citing a Krugman article (ignoring the Appeal to Authority fallacy made with that one)?

Putting that aside, the picture above makes a statement about the irony in protesting corporations using corporate products. Logic 101 – A fallacy is an argument in which the premises do not give the needed support for the conclusion. An argument is one or more premises followed by a conclusion. I suppose you could stretch and say the picture above is a premise but you’re still lacking a conclusion. No argument – no fallacy. Hence, shut up.

Well gee, thank you so much for “you’re”(or is it your?) consideration James. Of course, any boy cowardly enough to level the charge of liar over the internet surely deserves my regard. Then again, perhaps a better grounding in informal logic would help you to identify the “logical fallacies” in a comedic picture, but probably not. I don’t really think you would recognize a red herring if the stink of that fish were wiped on your upper lip.

Cheers my darling dullard.

Hey,

At least your man enough and honest enough to post my messages, even though you are dishonest enough to post such a logical fallacy filled image in the first place.

*snort* I just had to approve your posts James. Not sure how you got “there” from here, but hey, I guess you entertained yourself.
