From the November 1 edition of Fox Business' Varney & Co.:




I watched the video and just lost 30 IQ points
she also quotes Lehman Brothers........

1. nope. It's because of Jah Wobble

[Tikki]

23. haa...haa...haa..Excellent...

2. un-*******-beleiveable

??? you know these good family first channels are big on adultery and drugs!

[yellowcanine]

3. And the other guy brought up Eric the Red. These people are nuts.

4. As long as it doesn't implicate Fux Noise's Sex Partner - Big Oil -

All is good in Idiot Land.

5. Astrology now? At least no animals were killed to get a reading from their entrails.

How do they keep their FCC license? Isn't there a community service clause or something?

[ballabosh]

21. Cable channels

are not regulated by the FCC. Only broadcast (free) channels are.

6. How did anyone this stupid live this long?

[treestar]

7. That would be to admit that it is happening

Progress.

[superpatriotman]

16. Agreed!

There is a silver lining in this turd - admission of a problem. The first step, so to speak.

[cthulu2016]

8. The wobble does cause temperatures to rise.

[hifiguy]

9. OMG. That is on the top ten

Stupidest Things Ever Said list.

[mzmolly]

10. So, they're inching toward man causing climate change?

[Fawke Em]

15. I'd call it "milimetering" toward it, if there were such a word.

[Uncle Joe]

11. I guess that's better than blaming it on the persecuted and yet resilient Weebles.

Thanks for the thread, Ichingcarpenter.

[PowerToThePeople]

12. I think it is caused by popcorn

Too many people passing gas.

(do I really need to add a sarcasm tag?)

[montanto]

17. So, your argument is it's really Uranus?

[PowerToThePeople]

18. =) +100

[Fawke Em]

13. Uggghhhh

[KamaAina]

14. Well, that's plausible.

Because unlike the moon, Mars is made of red cheese, not green. And everyone knows what happens when you put red and green cheese on the same plate.

Or something. (facepalm)

[Fumesucker]

19. Hmmm <taps foot>

[hatrack]

20. Fucking unbelievable . . .

Jupiter's gravity is the source of Earth's long-term orbital eccentricity, and its diameter is about 22X the size of Mars, so what dead animal's ASS did they pull this "factoid" out of?

[muriel_volestrangler]

24. They saw someone discussing climate change *on Mars*

It's been a recurrent 'fact' from man-made climate change deniers that Mars' polar caps are getting smaller (I don't even know how true that is); and they claim this means there must be solar variation causing both this and climate change on Earth. If you look at the rawstory article, you see that an Oxford University lecturer has suggested that Mars' greater axis wobble (not having a decent sized moon to stabilise it) might mean significant growth and melting of the caps. Which is believable in concept, whether or not it works out in practice.

So this mushhead has seen someone saying "perhaps the Mars polar caps are melting because of its wobble", and then thought this means someone thinks that is causing it on Earth too.

[Scuba]

22. Nope, it's marbles wobbling around inside Rupert's skull.

[Whovian]

25. OMG. The stupid burns.
