The trouble with a ‘scientific’ argument, of course, is that it is not made in the real world, but in a laboratory by an unimaginative academic relying solely on empirical facts.
The choice quote from A. N. Wilson’s anti-science tour de farce on the Daily Mail site. It’s called “[Yes, scientists do much good. But a country run by these arrogant gods of certainty would truly be hell on earth](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/debate/article-1224858/Yes-scientists-good-But-country-run-arrogant-gods-certainty-truly-hell-earth.html)”. No, really.
1300 words, two of which are ‘Hitler’ (also, two mentions of ‘Nazi’ and one of ‘Soviet Russia’.)

Only 36% of people view the GOP favorably, with an outright majority of 54% viewing them unfavorably.
Poll: GOP’s Favorability At Its Worst In A Decade | TPMDC
I can only assume that someone in the GOP Fortress of Evil, this conversation went down last November:
“Fucking hell, that was pretty rough. Oh well, it’s been a while since we weren’t in power, so how shall we approach this new period of opposition politics?”
“Ooh, ooh I know! Let’s act like absolute fucking despicable cocks at every opportune moment. And, wherever possible, also in the inopportune moments. People will definitely identify with that that.”
“Sounds brilliant. Get me Sarah Palin’s number.”
Oddly, given the above 100% real transcript, the GOP candidate for New York’s 23rd district actually dropped out because she wasn’t enough of a despicable cock. That left a hard-right Conservative party candidate Doug Hoffman who had—I shit you not—_actually signed_ [Glenn Beck’s 9-12 pledge](http://www.the912project.com/2009/09/11/glenns-pledge-for-our-elected-officials/). He proceeded to [lose NY-23](http://tpmdc.talkingpointsmemo.com/2009/11/ny-23-owens-wins.php?ref=fpa) to a Democrat for the first time since _1854_.
Good work, GOP. You are examples to us all.

> There is a new sidebar pane when you inspect an element in the Elements Tree Hierarchy. If the current Node has registered event listeners there is a separate section for each type of event registered (click, mouseover, etc). Within each of these lists is a display of all of the event listeners in the entire event flow for that type. That means you see all the Capturing Event Listeners followed by the Bubbling Event Listeners in the exact order that they execute and on which nodes they are registered.

Holy shit, Webkit.
