Now is the time at SDA when we intellectualize!
CNN, February 2010
SANCHEZ: I’ll tell you what people will complain about when they hear that statement. It’s the sense that there is a push among certain people in our country for almost non-intellectualism. In other words, the smarter you are, the less we’re interested in what you have to say.
KAPLAN: Anti-intellectualism- yeah.
SANCHEZ: Right, anti-intellectualism.
SANCHEZ: I was just asking Chad, how can you get a volcano in Iceland? [Myers laughs]. Isn’t it too- when you think of a volcano, you think of Hawaii and long words like that. You don’t think of Iceland.
MYERS: Right.
SANCHEZ: You think it’s too cold to have a volcano there. But no! There it is.
It’s hard to believe that a major cable network employs a man who’s unaware that the interior of the earth is extremely hot, several million degrees.

These days, not so much.
It’s hard to believe that a major cable network employs a hit and run DUI murderer.
Well, maybe not.
Its official – dumbed-down media has gone Tabloid.
Maybe they have been “Fifed”.
I guess these guys would be gobsmacked to learn that the continent with the most active volcanoes is Antarctica.

Our various ancestors were accustomed to throwing people like that into volcanoes.
Some anthropologists believe that they did this to appease the gods.
In fact, they did it to improve the gene pool.
Like, hey, really, you mean theres volcanos in antartica? Nah, cant be its too cold and too far south.
jlc
Didn’t you get the memo…..
Because of Al Gore’s Weather it is now warm enough in Antarctica to have volcanos..
According to those CRU(de) people in England…..
Ummm, not to be that guy, but the Earth’s inner core is estimated to be about 5500 C, not “several million degrees”. That being said, the point of the article still stands.
Did Iceland run out of virgins?
Shoot, shoulda clicked through. Please ignore my previous post. D’oh!
I would like to point out that “Iceland” is a longer word than “Hawaii”.
OK, I’m convinced… You’re making this stuff up, Kate. Nobody is that dense. At least not on a reputable news network.

So, I’m guessing that one of these “intellectuals” is going to blame the volcanic eruption in Iceland on Global Warming.

That’s not funny. Global warming is seriously heating up the Earth’s core.
I’m just concerned that all that new lava will cause Iceland to tip over and capsize.

No kidding. The resulting tsunami would sober up Ireland.
It is hard to believe, especially when you consider he’ll be spending eternity there.
The dude is not a journalist, nor is he a news commentator but rather an audio teleprompter. A “Talking Head” as it were. Remember Max Headroom?

Very likely. The last time I was there, I became convinced that the island was populated with Barbie and Ken dolls. So far as looks go, that place is at the high end of the gene pool.
One of my favourite port visits ever. Right up until I did the currency conversion on the PC Magazine I had just bought and realized it cost me $36 Canadian! Read that bugger cover to cover.
See. That’s the danger with all this anti-intellectualism stuff…it spreads just like a virus…in a matter of months. One day you’re an intellectual, and two months down the road…
Someone needs to remind Sanchez that he was hired because he’s good looking.
Whatever you say bob c.
And they can’t figure out why ratings are dropping. If nobody watches a cable news network, is it still on?
Well it sure wasn’t for his brains.
Some “smart” people are legends in their own minds.
Lucky for us the infection stays between their ears.
“I’m just concerned that all that new lava will cause Iceland to tip over and capsize.

Too late for that. That gene poll has already been well pissed in to.

It won’t be Iceland for very much longer with all the CO2 being belched out.
Maybe they meant “Aunty” Intellectuals?
“In other words, the smarter you are, the less we’re interested in what you have to say.”
And in a roundabout sort of a way, by fixating on Rick Sanchez’s inane prattle, you’re kind of making his point.
Good one oo2: Did Iceland run out of virgins?
That’s not funny. Global warming is seriously heating up the Earth’s core.
Al (Ninyo)…, didn’t you know GW has caused the heat of the earths core to increase from 5500 to several million degrees. Al Gore told me so…yea that’s the ticket
Get him a spot on Jeopardy , stat !
Sanchez = Mimbo
The truly scary part is, and kind of the point of this whole post, is not that Al Gore thinks that the interior of the earth is several million degrees, but that there are so many people dumber than he is enough to believe it, and are prepared to continue to give him money, in vast quantitites.
Now don’t you knuckle dragging bumpkins get too uppity. Unlike you Mr. Sanchez has been to journalism school.
Well dud! It’s obveeous dat none of youse guys has ben to Jurrnulism Skul. LIke the cors on names: Iceland has ice, Greenland is green, Poland is full of tall thin wood sticks, dey make neckties in Tieland and so on.
Dat’s a jurnulism sekret dat makes us intullectuls!
An dey speke Ostriun in Ostriu.
Youse guys is dum an not intullektuls or yd no this!
So when did intellectual equal intelligent?
I’ve always thought that most intellectuals wern’t good enough to get a real job so they went for the public teat.
Boy am I dumb. The public teat pays much better than a real job.
Well, this did come come from one of the BamBam networks, not so long ago they were selling unicorns and rainbows. Funny how the bosses (Turner), after all these years, either don’t get it anymore (its the ratings, stupid!), or worse, he’s decided he’s rich enough, and he can piss away his fortune on his slanted point of view.
At least that has to explain MessNBCs method, GE must enjoy the tax loss for a writeoff
Wonder what Senor Sanchez would say if he knew that both Iceland and Hawaii wouldn’t exist except for volcanoes??? Thank God for leftards. How else would we get our laughs?
They are talking about ‘intellectualism’, not mere scientific facts, taht any schoolboy could memorize without understanding them. They mean the intellectualism of thought, where one can state that a physical law or reality doesn’t exist anywhere but in your mind, that common sense is merely a racial white male construct designed to keep others oppressed and exploited. You know, THAT sort of intellectualism.
Wow, that was quick. I did not know that Kate drove Volvo.
O’nO.

“Icelandic Volcano Disrupts Semen Shipments
TheHorse.com – Tracy Gantz – 16 hours ago
The volcano under Iceland’s Eyjafjallajokull glacier erupted April 14. The ash spewing into the air has disrupted thousands of flights across Europe, …”
(googoonews)
Well Britain and Europe won’t have to worry about ‘grit’ if it warms enough to snow again.
It’s always entertaining when lib/left spokespersons expose themselves. Don’t think for a moment they aren’t confident in their superiority over the right wing knuckle draggers and other lesser beings.
Funny comments everyone! Esp the tipping over and the Jeapordy one.
What a weird coincidence that many volcanoes appear on small to mid size islands in the Pacific and Atlantic ocean, and almost along along a curved line in some instances. Wow, they must all be cursed. /sarc off (just in case)
Anyone have any estimates on how much CO2 is being belched out from this?
How many years would Canada have to move back into caves, to make up the ~damage~?
Today’s “intellectuals” often take great pride in knowing dick-all about science. When it comes to understanding system, imperialistic, rascist, systems of oppression, however, they rock.
Not to worry Doowleb, it’s Iceland’s problem. Look at the size and population. You just gotta know when the envirofreaks do the math, they will be royally f’ed.
Maybe Mr. Sanchez (BA, Hit-and-Run) and Mr. Gore (divinity school dropout) could take a look at what happened in 1783 when another Icelandic volcano blew its top. Fierce cold, crop failure, famine. According to Ben Franklin, “the winter of 1783-4 was more severe than any that had happened for many years.”
