Southern Anthem to change from 'Dixie" to :Dickhead"

Dixie” was the Redneck South’s anthem -but now  there is a movement in The US Senate to rename it  "Dickhead" which would be more appropriate to the fucking rednecks still living there and holding up social progress as usual.  -Sing along and see if you like the changes:


I Wish I was in de land ob cotton,
Old times dar am not forgotten
Look away! look away! look away! Dickhead Land.

In  Dickhead Land whar I was born in,
Early on one frosty mornin’,
Look away! look away! look away! Dickhead Land.
Den I wish I was in Dicksy,
Hooray! hooray!
In Dickhead Land I’ll take my stand,
To lib and die in Dicksy,

Away, away, away down south in Dicksy,
Away, away, away down south in Dickhead Land.
quite an improvement dontcha think-way more accurate

Creationists Are Ruining their Children's Minds -says Science Guy Nye

Nye, who hosted the educational show "Bill Nye the Science Guy," which aired on PBS Kids from 1993 through 1998, made the statements in a clip posted online on Thursday, and has since been viewed over one million times.

In the clip, Nye praises the United States for its contribution to technological innovation, but says that the denial of evolution is for dead brained moron witch doctors..

Here are these ancient dinosaur bones or fossils, here is radioactivity, here are distant stars that are just like our star but they're at a different point in their lifecycle. The idea of deep time, of this billions of years, explains so much of the world around us. If you try to ignore that, your world view just becomes crazy, just untenable, itself inconsistent," he said.
Nye then goes on to urge adults not to deny the teaching of evolution to young people.
"And I say to these moronic grownups, if you want to deny evolution and live in your Tooth Fairy world, in YOUR MORONIC world that's completely inconsistent with everything we observe in the universe, that's fine, but don't make your kids do it because we need them. We need scientifically literate voters and taxpayers for the future. We need people that can - we need engineers that can build stuff, solve problems.
"It's just really a hard thing, it's really a hard thing. You know, in another couple of centuries that world view, I'm sure, will be, it just won't exist. There's no evidence for it."

    One thing that science has that all religions lack is that any idea can be challenged and confirmed or disproven, and that that process can be continually repeated.

      ...and that is why it's "The Theory of Evolution" not "The Law of Evolution".

    What does his politics have to do with science? Science is repeatable observation and testing, regardless of who's in office. Gravity isn't going to suddenly change if Romney becomes pres.

    Scientific data is not good enough for the conservative Christian. They prefer to believe in myth!

    The basic tenant of science if a certain thing happens under a particular set of conditions, the same thing will happen again under the same set. of conditions.

    He should explain to his audience the principals of the "Butterfly effect". Nature never exactly duplicates itself. Tiny changes have huge consequences over time. Mostly not noticeable but once in a while horrendous. God must have one heck of a sense of humor ,when She invented Chaos.

    We need more people like Bill if the future generations are going to get over their parents' hang-ups with science. Why can't religious deniers of science believe at the very least that the science they shun might have bee made possible by their Sky Daddy? If the religious element that regresses -... More

    In the beginning God created the world - from there it evolved or devolved depending on how you see it...

    Even the Vatican has stated that we must accept evolution as fact. (A few decades ago, shortly after they apologized to Galileo, LOL!)

    If skepticism "hampers the scientific process" your process if flawed!

    Since when has this guy gathered such cred? I'm from Seattle and I used to watch old Bill on a local show called "Almost Live". It was a rip off on Saturday Nite Live and was a comedy sketch show. He's a comedian who then moved onto the kid show on science. WOW! Now he deserves a whole article... More

    For a moment I pictured this being an article of Bill Nye actually striking these people. "Bill Nye HITS Evolution Deniers." That would've been interesting too!

      @Anon - please read the article before making accusations. Nye was campaigning for Obama's education and science programs. Bill C. didn't bring politics into it. This article is touching on one of the most important political issues in our society - it's not that democrats are all intelligent or... More

    So we humans start out with fur to keep us warm, protect us from the sun and insects, and then we evolve to the point where we have skin without fur, so we put on clothes, apply sun block, and spray ourselves with bug repellent? We kind of over-evolved, didn't we? LOL

Corporations are not looking to employ American engineers or scientists, when they can get them from India and China for 20 cents on the dollar. Why pursue... More

      P, it isn't wall street -- it is evangelical biblical literalists who are to blame.

    From a paleontological perspective, when has anyone ever heard of a human skeleton being chipped out of a rock with a hammer and picks ? Any Idea how long it takes bone to mineralize ? Right on Bill !!
