And remember folks—D’Souza is paid to produce these… stunning insights.  Hug that piece of injustice close to your chests when you go to sleep tonight.

Evidence for life after death will be empirical when it comes from people who’ve had post-death experiences. (PDEs)  And I really don’t want to talk to them, because they are not only scary, but a retro-meme. Or a trope, perhaps. Meme or trope, I don’t know. I just know that when they come, I’m nailing the door shut.

Aim for the head, Mrs. Polly. Always aim for the head.

experiences of moving through dark tunnels, seeing themselves from outside their bodies, encountering the spirits of dead relatives and friends, seeing celestial beings, being dazzled by a bright light, reviewing their whole life in an instant, and then reaching an impassable barrier before being returned to their earthly bodies.

Isn’t that the plot outline for Going Rogue?

Crap like this on HuffPo - along with anti-vaccination and other anti-medical hysteria - is the best ammunition against progressivism there is. How can we claim to be rational when this shit gets plastered all over our blogs?

Did he get paid for this, though? I thought HuffPo didn’t pay contributors. Arianna thinks they can live off spirits in the atmosphere or something.

There’s nothing more credible than the observations produced by an oxygen-starved brain.

The best evidence for life on the planet Uranus comes from people who have nearly, but not quite, been on Uranus.

I’m sorry (sorry there’s no editing function), that should have said “visited Uranus.”

jesus. Between this shit and Peter Just a Little Girl Daou…. Tell me again, what is the purpose of HuffPo?

Tell me again, what is the purpose of HuffPo?

To give Amy Siskind a choice between Arianna and Tina Brown for her mash notes to Sarah Palin’s Vagina?

It’s as empirically credible as alien abductions then.

This kind of horse-shit, from astrology to seances, mediums & whatnot, right up to the New Age & Deep-packed Chopra, has always been a preferred amusement for idly rich women, & a favorite way for some to help themselves to the money that the ladies who lunch control.

The West Side of Los Angeles (Ms. Huff’s stomping grounds) is full of this kind of crap, it’s no surprise her “full-service” website would have a lot of this.

There’s plenty of anti-vaccination paranoia on the right, too, not to mention the colloidial (sp?) silver & almond pit cancer cures.

Just a suspicion, but I doubt most of her celebrity buddies, at least, are paid for their posts. D. D. is trying to hump his new book, so it’s all gravy to him.

M. Bouffant, it’s colloidal silver. It would serve these patsies right if they were allowed to contract swine flu and turn themselves battleship gray,...

To give Amy Siskind a choice between Arianna and Tina Brown for her mash notes to Sarah Palin’s Vagina?

To give Jane Hamsher a place to write stupid shit like this where people might actually read it?

The colloidal silver scammers see Big Payday Potential every time there’s a whiff of pandemic in the news. They are the most pernicious, Hydra-headed quack medicine con since radium jewelry and magnetic spinal alignment.

I know the woman in Mrs. Polly’s link, and she is as charming, intelligent, formidable and tireless a champion of truth-in-medicine as Mr. D’Souza, apparently, isn’t.

Ms. Jacobs may have been tinted by silver, but she is untainted by self-pity. And while I imagine she would dispute the “cool”-ness of her condition, she would probably be the first to admit that a gray countenance can be an asset when you’re haunting the dreams of the hope-vampires and predatory werewolves of “alternative” medical “science.”
