A disgusting vat of filth that no self-respecting intelligent person would wade into.

I feel better for saying it was unbelievable.

Kudos to the guy doing the debunking, but isn't it possible that some Park Service types were told to avoid answering questions on the issue and went to PEER, and that the Park Service is now backpeddling?

Yes!!!

And for bonus points, like all your other blogger theories, it can't be disproven. Way to go Ty!!!!

You're the one who favors the scientific method, right?

Nuance is just entirely lost on you, isn't it?

PEER has made an allegation. It's not providing any verifiable support. So you certainly can't say it's true. But I don't see where the other guy disproved it, either. When management says a whistleblower is full of it, some skepticism is certainly due, but it's not exactly dispositive, either.

a light lemon fragrence is nuanced, and lovely. But say if someone puts it down in a field full of cow shit, it's hard to detect.

How liberal or conservative are you? This quiz is more than a decade old, and some of the questions seem a little odd to me, but whatever.

I got a 14, on a scale of 0 (Jesse Jackson) to 40 (Ronald Reagan).

I got a 16, which allegedly puts me between Bill Clinton and Colin Powell, but the questions were so darn vague that its about meaningless. (Trust them how? To do what?)

I think if you just go with a gut reaction (what are you people, lawyers or something?! Live a little. :-) ) you'll more or less get to it. I got a 21, sometimes a 22. I also went and fiddled with answers to see if a 40 was even attainable. I could get it up to 39, but it was hard. I have a hard time believing even Ronald Reagan would be so extreme without compromise as what those answers were.

31, but I agree that the questions were for shite;

also, I am curious as to the following:

in 1994 in what alternative universe was Bob Dole more conservative than Jack Kemp....?????

I was thinking the exact same thing, being a Kemp for President chap back in the day.

He had the hottest daughters of any candidate in 1988 (keeping in mind that the Gore girls were jailbait back then).

I got a 40.

What you have to remember is true conservatives, and RR, would refuse to answer some of the dumber ones. The only way to get to 40 is to skip about 6 of them.

You mean the at-least-six that did things like bury assumptions in them as to the merit of both the question and the answer: for example, the one that asked which was the better way to reduce crime, to build more prisons or rebuild inner cities or both, which assumed that "inner cities" all need rebuilding? Surely someone might disagree a tiny bit. Or the one that said to agree or disagree with that the breakdown of the traditional family is THE greatest social crisis in this country, when a perfectly conservative person could think it's a gigantic problem but that it only made the number two spot?

Who knows what Hank means. I got it to produce a 40 only by answering all of them. You must of missed one of the "conservative" points.
