Note to the Mad Cow.

Sarah Palin can explode missiles in the sky by mind power alone.

She learned this power from Chuck Norris.

She explodes liberal heads all the time.

This is up there with “fire can not melt steel” (according to world acclaimed metallurgist Rosie O’Donnell)

Thank you, I was trying to remember what dummy said that and was thinking Rosanne Barr but you are correct.

They are both stupid however)

We need to cut Rache some slack. With Keith gone, she’s lying for two now.

That there is down right funny!

Odd I could have sworn I saw Patriot missile batteries working on live TV (CNN even) during Gulf War I.

You’re confusing silicon with silica. There’s no silicon in sand

"It's such a hysterical fantasy! I love it!"

I'm rather fond of it myself.

This isn't bad, but the special effects were much better in those moon landings. So realistic!

Silicon is a metal. Silica is a ceramic . Silicon dioxide is a compound. I’m not a metalurgist but do work with aluminum alloys. They contain both silica and silicon. They’re not the same

>> They know what they’re doing. Insisting they are liars and proving it is a much better strategy than insisting they are stupid, IMO.

That’s a good opinion.

Geez, I seem to remember a Patriot Missile that was touted as being AWESOME because it could shoot SCUD missiles down.
{And that’s not considering that the SDI, as I recall, was more interested in Lasers shooting down missiles.}

Heck, we have been shooting missiles from space for 25 years. Rachel is a dumbass who can neither teach or do. She is the dumbass wing of America.

And steel can’t melt.

Ah, the "Rosie O'Dummass" quote... Actually she said that steel couldn't melt at the temperatures generated in the World Trade Center attack.

And you know what? She was right. Steel doesn't melt at that low temperature. However, it seems that she never took a shop class in middle school, where they introduce the concept of annealing metals, which is heating them to a certain point where they become "softer" and more flexible for working. And THAT was the temperature that was generated during the attack.

And as any middle school student who went to shop class could tell you, you don't want to use metal that's being annealed as the structural component of a high rise building.

One thing I’ve noticed about liberals & marxist Democrats is how ignorant they are of the basic facts of science, chemistry, physics, mathematics, engineering, etc.

That's because they took "liberal arts" in schools, rather than the "hard sciences," which, I guess, were "too hard."

Dittos on DTD. . .meantime, will Rachel’s analysis be held to account - by at least, O’Reilly and Hannity - maybe Rush?
Perhaps the ladies of The View might want to invite her on and ‘expound’.

/Liberals lie. Call them on it and watch them sweat./

But don't be fooled if there is no sweat.

“Here’s the country, here’s the kind of thing you put over like a cake to protect the cake from flies. Missiles don’t work that way. That’s the whole idea of SDI. We’ll protect ourselves by shooting missiles at other missiles.”

A demonstration of Rachel’s scientific prowess. The Keith Olbermann episode must have her worried. Could Rachel Madcow be looking for a job as James Hansen’s Assistant Climatologist at NASA? OK, how about one as Al Gore’s masseuse?
