George Steph leads with "freudian slip" and actually

[ecstatic]

expects a thorough answer to the charge from Axelrod. I really wish it was Dean on today. WTF? What a disgusting tool George is!

1. I think the entire notion of "Freudian slip" has been debunked by

advances in neuroscience and our understanding of how the brain processes information.

[thunder rising]

10. "Freudian slip" is a gaff. Frued theorized it was the buried thoughts of the speaker coming out

Today it is used like a slang for gaff. The pedant above is correct however officious in the point being made.

13. Since the concept of a Freudian slip posits an unconscious

It would be remarkable indeed if empirical neuroscientific experiments COULD "debunk" it.

14. Neuroscience has shown that speech is a very complex act with words coming from one

brain center and muscle control from another, etc. We make dozens of mistakes a day, but just notice the ones that are really odd or seem to have meaning.

[alcibiades_mystery]

19. I'm aware of the research in neuroscience on these phenomena

But the Freudian unconscious can be "measured" only as an effect, and those would INCLUDE the empirical effects observed by positivist neuroscience. We can take that or leave it, but neuroscience does not "debunk" it.

2. What freudian slip?

I'm nowhere near a television. Thanks.

3. When Obama was introducing Biden, he said "The nex president...

the next Vice President..."

George asks if that's a sign that Obama is not the right person to be at the top of the ticket. :mad:

[chitty]

4. I think this is going to be my standard reply today.......

:banghead:

6. I used to think that my mother was not the right person for the job...

...of being my mother for that very same reason (she called me by my brother's name), when I was a little whiny kid. After a while, I was able to realize that I knew who I was. Later, I was able to overcome my shame over that and move on with my life...

I heard Biden say how he was surprised how well he could take a punch in one of his speeches yesterday. I think he can handle this "freudian slip". I see the mainstream media needs to get a thicker skin.

16. Darn, I was hoping it was the liberman "prick" one

[Colobo]

5. They can't help themselves.

[Kire]

7. they are sick people

11. I have to go now...

...I have to go visit my family I haven't seen in a while.

In the meantime, I wish you continued success with your effort.

[slackmaster]

9. Is this about something on TV?

:shrug:

[MidwestTransplant]

12. Biden is the next President.....President of the US Senate!

[eShirl]

15. by this I can assume he'll equally question all McCain's upcoming Freudian slips?

from now on

[Vinca]

17. Has George changed his party affilitation? I swear - it's like the guy

gets a few bucks in the bank and now he's rooting for the "no tax on fat cats" team.

[rucky]

18. How many times do you think Obama's used the phrase "the next President"

in the past 18 months? Probably hundreds.

[Cha]

20. We know abc is for mccain and

little georgie is put out there to whore for the corporate trough.

End of story.
