“I DO think there’s a ‘squatch in these woods….”
What the heck has happened to science on television? Animal Planet has a show called “Finding Bigfoot,” with a guy looking like he just cleaned out all the pork rinds at the Piggly Wiggly telling us he believes “there’s a “squatch” in these woods….”
“Sasquatches DO exist,” insists another sasquatch hunter, doing his best to look and sound serious, in the show’s accidentally comical commercial.
We shouldn’t single out Animal Planet for scorn, however. The channel does have silly company. The History Channel has a show called UFO Hunters. Planet Green has a show called UFOs over Earth. These and other channels show Nostradamus programs more regularly than they show microscopes and telescopes combined.
Against this backdrop, I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised by incessantly ridiculous claims and headlines about global warming.
Global warming causes earthquakes. Global warming causes depression. Global warming causes tsunamis. Global warming causes wife beatings. Global warming causes acne. Global warming causes AIDS. Global warming causes a greater likelihood of a UFO invasion.
No, seriously, scientist-activists and their media allies have alleged each of the above, and then some.
Just as microscopes and telescopes are glaringly missing on the “science” and “history” shows about sasquatches and UFOs, so too is the Scientific Method glaringly missing from alarming global warming claims.
“Global warming is a crisis because our computer models predict it will be.”

It must take a truck load of beer every week to write & produce that show
The History Channel has a show called ‘Pawn Stars’. How is that historical??
“Next on The History Channel: FINDING BIGFOOT, followed by PAWN STARS and an all new CAJUN PAWN STARS. The History Channel, where history comes to life.”
This comes up frequently on Coast to Coast. Whenever some fringe lunatic says she is "doing research" what she means is, she is reading other fringe lunatics' writings.
And never forget “Billy The Exterminator” .
And lottery ads sell you the thrill of owning a ticket for the "big one" while never once mentioning the fact that you are going to lose your money if you buy one.
Sorry all. Computer goofed up.
Yeah when someone declares that they’re a researcher I go looking for their credentials. Not that credentials mean much these days but its nice to know whether they have any basic knowledge.
Sorry all. Computer goofed up.
Watch Paranormal State. The guy believes in Jesus Christ and brings in priests from time to time to do exorcisms. I know all “reality” shows are somewhat scripted, but this one ain’t bad.
Ghost- Hunting, the supernatural, vampires WTF? Over.
H2 is definitely better than the History Channel.
They've run out of giant snake and alligator movies to show.......(they save those for saturdays).
Just when you thought some Invader Zim episodes just coldn’t possibly happen.
And then they do.
*lol*
I used to then I switched providers and lost Bio.
I miss that show.
Now stuck with the drama queers on “Ghost Adventures.”
We are living the beginning of the movie “Idiocracy.”
There is a slight bit of history available on Pawn Stars in that occasionally someone brings in a relic from the American Revolution or the Civil War or some other historic epoch
Go to Washougal, WA and take the Washougal river road until you reach the the Gifford Pinchot NF. Go back at least 3 miles then park and hike along one of the overgrown old logging roads. At sundown break out the Vienna sausages and simmer over a campfire. Chances are you’ll ‘find’ bigfoot.
I lived thereabouts for 2 years, up on a ridge a few miles from the Columbia river gorge. I can’t tell you the number of times I was woken up at night by ‘somethings’ in the woods making gawdawful noises, chasing coyotes, attacking livestock etc.
People disappear all the time in the woods btw.
Bigfoot has been hiding in plain sight for the last three years, at 1600 Pennsylvania. It has been shaved, manicured, and apparently has a thing for boob belts.
