      Let's see... they could have had global climatologists, with records, figures, and scientific studies on to discuss the issue... or they could have a washed up bit part actor and former game show host/contestant and pseudo intellectual, who believes his son is addicted to video games, and that evolution is a lie perpetrated on the youth in our schools.

      No... no... they made the right choice.  I mean, who knows more about this subject than Ben Stein?

      I hear they have Big Bird and Miss Piggy lined up to discuss the comparisons being made between the avian and swine flu strains.

      Having this moronic drone speak about climate change is like Hannah Montana having a serious discuss on nuclear fission.

       Yet another loser from the Fox Nonsense Channel.

        Well, she's still in HS...  So she could probably wirte a report on it that's considerably more informative than this.  Give her some credit!  Have some faith in our educational system!  Not everyone grows up to be Ben Stein!

      Maybe not on your planet Ben. We're talking about Earth though.

      Actually, you are wrong, Ben. I think that like something else I read this morning abotu FoxNews, sometimes they just push this kind of undeniable nonsense to muddy the waters to make people distrust all media sources in general.  When they make people distrust FoxNews and Ben Stein, it might bleed over and make people trust truly fair and balanced journalists too!

      I bet Ben Stein thinks that Ferris Bueller is a real person as well.

      And last year Stein was pushing Intelligent Design and ridiculing Darwin.

      Sorry Ben, you're fifteen minutes have been up for a long time. Can't someone get Principle Rooney to fire this know nothing?

        Yeah, I know.  The www.skepdic.com had a great write up on his pseudo-scientific nonsense.  They've got a pretty good section on Global Warming as well.  I guess Ben Stein doesn't accept "science" as "proof."  He prefers religious superstition, corporate gobbledegook and pseudo-science.

      Say, does anyone here know the name of Gore's company that sells environmental indulgences?  With this kind of rhetoric I think the country is actually on the brink of buying this crap.  I way need to score some stock now.  Please post up if you know!!  Thanks : )
