Saw this test over at Daily Pundit. For the record, I scored 45 which pretty much bolsters my claim that I’m a small “l” libertarian.

Once again there is a lot of assholiness going on. Front and center is Alec Baldwin for tweeting homophobic hate speech and threatening assault. It’s a good thing that he’s a liberal or he would be in big trouble.

But he was beat out by the town of Norwood Colorado for this incident.

At the state high-school wrestling tournament in Denver last year, three upperclassmen cornered a 13-year-old boy on an empty school bus, bound him with duct tape and sodomized him with a pencil.

For the boy and his family, that was only the beginning.

The students were from Norwood, Colorado, a ranching town of about 500 people near the Telluride ski resort. Two of the attackers were sons of Robert Harris, the wrestling coach, who was president of the school board. The victim’s father was the K-12 principal.

After the principal reported the incident to police, townspeople forced him to resign. Students protested against the victim at school, put “Go to Hell” stickers on his locker and wore T-shirts that supported the perpetrators. The attackers later pleaded guilty to misdemeanor charges, according to the Denver district attorney’s office.

“Nobody would help us,” said the victim’s father, who asked not to be named to protect his son’s privacy. Bloomberg News doesn’t identify victims of sexual assault. “We contacted everybody and nobody would help us,” he said.

I have one word to respond to this bullshit: Law suit. Sue the crap out of the school. Here’s a little thought experiment. Let’s pretend the victim was gay, black, or Mooslime. The ACLU would be on this case quicker than Al Sharpton could get in front of a microphone with a bullhorn. Not only the school, but the coach and the parents of the other perp would be sued as well. The t-shirts would be considered hate speech and the crime would be a hate crime. The parents of the abused boy would strike it rich and it would be settled out of court to avoid the publicity.

After all, this is bullying and you know how much liberals progressives rat bastard commies hate bullying and hate speech, except when they are the ones doing the bullying and the hate speech. See Alec Baldwin. Or the anti-semitism of blacks. I just learned sumpin’ else from the George Zimmerman trial. Calling a white guy a “creepy ass cracka” isn’t a racist epithet. Why? Because a black person said it (the fat black chick who was on the phone with Trayvon when he got shot) and as we all know, blacks can’t be racists.

Saw this on Instapundit, and I agree. Faster please!

Scientists have found a way to reconnect severed spinal cords in rats, allowing them to regain bladder control–a major accomplishment that could one day help humans with similar nervous system injuries recover lost abilities.

Many people think that the only thing spinal cord injuries cause is paralysis. Wrong! It also affects bodily functions like bowel and bladder control. If I had to choose between walking or peeing normally, I would take the peeing. It sucks having to ram a catheter up my willie to take a pee.

Spinal cord nerves do not regenerate in mammals. They do in reptiles. And now medical science is achieving that ability in rats. Some people think I’m a rat.

The scientists intend to continue their research, next trying their method on older spinal cord injuries. After enough testing, they might be able to use the technique on humans. But, that is a long ways off, and the scientists seem humble enough to recognize that fact.

Unfortunately, it will be a long way off. So far they have only succeeded in new spinal cord injuries. Because of the way the nervous system works, it will be much harder with old injuries since there will be scar tissue to overcome and the fact that the nerves die below the injury. Too late for me, but there is hope for people injured in the future. Within the next 20 years I expect some major breakthroughs, including nanotechnology to rewire the nervous system.

Capt. John sent me this quiz which I aced. Most of my readers will do well on this since my readers are naturally more intelligent than most folks. I do not like the wording on question 12 where they say “most scientists”. The science is NOT settled. Many scientists think that CO2 is a lagging indicator.
