The Wanker-Wingnut Continuum
The editors at The Poorman blog expound....

"The answer to this question requires that we turn to SCIENCE.
“But The Editors,” you implore, “what is this SCIENCE of which you speak? It sounds terribly frightening and dangerous!”
God, you are such babies. SCIENCE is nothing to be afraid of - it is merely a method of inquiry which makes use of empirical data about the world and fits it into an abstract, predictive model. For example, suppose you ask me the question: “what is the volume of an average human being?” This is a very stupid and pointless question, exactly the sort of question I would expect someone like you would ask. Why do you care?"

4. I was puzzled by the inclusion of Geddy Lee in deep wingnut territory
Is he a wingnut? I've never heard anything about his politics.
