They’re baaaack!
Yep – another post on Frankenfoods – the miserable mutant offspring of ancient crops…and the white-coat rapists from Biotech who jam alien species’ DNA into the germplasm of our familiar staples.
Reagan/Bush and Grover’s Club For Greed paved the way – or more accurately, pulverised the institutions – by destroying the Federal research funding which ensured America’s basic science led the world in our species own ancient effort to better know ourselves and our living world. Slashing the constant funding stream for basic science, the Gipper, the Spook, and the Grover impoverished US basic science to the point that they could force “Shock Doctrine” revolutions through America’s basic science insitutions – and culture. [emphasis mine]ÂÂ
Had we only spent more on federally funded research science, we would today be much closer to where we were when we started. Is that the argument?
Forgive me if I’m missing something. I’m going on no sleep.
No, that’s pretty much it.
Hmm. Sounds just like their argument for education.
Which is a pretty prolix way of saying douchebag.
I think he’s just pissed we haven’t adequately funded the jamming of alien DNA into stem cells derived from the freshly aborted so that we can then introduce these mutant frankencell lines into other humans.
But be I’m misreading him; he’s kinda hard to follow.
er.
maybe I’m misreading…
The author is a doctor? Really?
I thought “MD” in his case stood for “mildly deranged.”
Where’s nishi when I need her to explain this guy to me.
I think when I told her she’d been lying about leaving, she left.
Central California Coast (most northerly aspect)
Oh Jesus Keerist, whatta bet that means Santa Cruz or Half Moon[bat] Bay?
Jeebus Christ.
Oooo… watch the good doctor diagnosis McCain’s brain! Without ever having met him!
Very professional of him. Indeed.
Funny how deranged the “reality-based community” gets about GM foods. Of course, they all thought we’d be starving by now, failing to predict the green revolution.

And funny their hysterics over GM food on one hand, on the other their hysterics over “R” admins who question/oppose unfettered embryonic stem cell research, cloning and beta-testing of vaccines on pre-pubescent and pubescent females.
I don’t know you guys, it is really hard to argue with such a well reasoned argument, especially from a doctor.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!
Damn those gene spicers and their crossing ways! Cabbage should have stayed cabbage and not made into cauliflower, brussels sprouts, broccoli and all the rest! I want my apples to be gumball size and bitter, I want my food to be wiped out by blight! If it was good enough for the Irish, it’s good enough for me!
First line from Darleen’s link:
“Brains are like assholes” one of my mentors used to say. “Just ’cause we’re all born with one doesn’t mean we know how to use ’em.”
What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
BIG Biotech!
“reality based community” indeed. You all must realize that they are operating from a fiction based reality, it makes it so much easier to understand if you take that into consideration.
he’s very constipated?
Mentally constipated, at that.

I think you’ve defined them better than you might imagine. I also think Dr.(!) Paul Erlich being proved wrong every single day just chaps their collectiv(ist) ass.
Err…
Ehrlich.
I think jt means someone has been taking it in the dumper.
That thing is a fantastic load of shit, and Doc ought to consider a career in direct mail fulfillment or harvesting produce.

got a reallly, really good laugh at my house tonight.
Did Bush kill the research that if we all just kill ourselves we will save the planet? Neo-Con Geo hater!
Geez, if there was ever an effective example of the merits of abortion, the commenters at that site embody it.
As for Doctor Murphy, one only has to read his postings to understand how intellecutally and emotionally stunted the far left has become these days.
“Brains are like assholes†one of my mentors used to say. “Just ’cause we’re all born with one doesn’t mean we know how to use ‘em.â€Â
>>What the fuck is that supposed to mean?
Means he’s full of shit.
Yawn. Call me when we’re producing organisms based on D-amino acids and whose DNA contains, say, six bases. Until then, we’re still all cousins. Even Dr. Frankenstein (and his “monster”). Wonder if he favors eradicating mules?
I think you guys are being awfully hard on the good doctor.
What my mentor sought to convey is the odd fact that most prescriptions for psychiatric meds are written by non-psychiatrists.
Prescriptions? Brains? Psychiatrists? Assholes? Hello? Hello? Anybody home? Huh? Think, McFly. Think!
Personally, I think it’s scarier that, due to this mentor person, there are probably more people trained like the good doctor.
Keep your filthy hands off my staples Republicreeps!
I knew Staples was a front for aliens. There’s never anyone in that store when I go in there, the employees look shifty, it’s eerily quiet – that’s it, I’m going on the internet.
After I walk my Labrodoodle and have some wrinkled peas. Roundup fuckin’ Ready Wrinkled peas.
Norman Borlaug, nobel laureate, greatest living human and responsible for saving more lives than almost any other person in history, says the good Dr. Murphy is a horse’s ass.
Norman Borlaug…greatest living human
Word, brother!
Milton: “Did you take my stapler?”
Guess we’ll have to stop injecting antibiotics into potatoes when they get pneumonia.
All I can figger is that Murphy M.D. thinks our gut bacteria will absorb the potato’s anti-biotic resistence conferring genes, which never happens unless another bacteria has the genetic material first and the gene is then transferred as a [name slips my mind]. Otherwise we’d be incubating mutant piglet-bacteria in our guts after a meal of undercooked pork.
I was watching the State of the Black Union yesterday and I got to watch Dick Gregory yell about Manganese… evidently Mr. Gregory thinks manganese is being sprayed by the Federal goverment in black neighborhoods at night to induce homicidal impulses. Cornell West was urging him to “tell it” and when he was done Tavis Smiley thanked Mr. Gregory for bring his unique brand of humor to the occaision…. so maybe the MD was being funny in that wacky way the left enjoys so much.
PS my guess is the guy is from Big Sur
“And said to Bill, that I should be allowed to prescribe psychotropic drugth, at a reasonable volume, while I’m denouncing the Schock Doctrine…
Ekthcuse me, Um…I believe you have my thtapler!”
