WTF is wrong with Kathleen Parker?

[Guy Fawkes]

She wants NASA, the National Aeronautics AND SPACE Association to stop sending people into space and start finding ways to make her life better.

1. Oh, HER.

God, I can't stand that whiny right winger.

She tries to come off as "nice", but she's just another right wing shill.

2. Kathleen Parker... help me out here?

Forgive my ignorance.

[Guy Fawkes]

4. Number 3 sums it up well.

[Jade Fox]

3. That's a long list.....

Basically, she is just one of the conservative morans drafted by the
conservative media to voice her "opinions", chosen because she is
at least relatively coherent.

If the media had any standards left, no one would ever have made her
a columnist.

5. STOP THE PRESSES! Kathleen Parker actually made a point?

our local rag (richmond times-dispatch) runs her column regularly. At first I was confused thinking that I had missed something-she never actually made a point on any issue. After reading her column for a while I could see that that is her M.O.

Oh she is married and has children, did she mention that in this article? She usually goes way out of her way to do that.

I have an idea that she has the goods (really dirty dirty stuff) on some or all of the editors of papers across the country. That is the only reason I can see for anyone publishing her (other than to fill up space and kill time).

6. She's probably just never heard of any of the following....

Photovoltaic power
Advancement in semi-conductor technology
Laser Surveying
Scratch Resistant Lenses
Advanced Weather Forecasting
High Data-Rate Telemetry Systems
Fire Resistance Materials
Digital Imaging that helps prevent Breast Cancer
Laser angioplasty

The list of these NASA developed of enhanced technologies goes on and on.

Some people are idiots.

7. I find most of what she writes to be fluffy crap

I have read her column a number of times over the years.

Recipe for Kathleen Parker:

Take a week's worth OxyRush BS, boil down to a few paragraphs. Separate out the histrionics that come to the surface. Stir in a few measures of the saccarin sweetness of June Cleaver. For color, garnish with a few drops of Reactionary Phyllis Schlafley Self Loathing Elixer. Goes nicely with a side of Soured Republican Family Values Kraut and a thick slice of Santorum Ham.

9. Outstanding Description, Greek

That's exactly what she is. I can sum it up in two words; Ignorant Phony.
The Professor

11. If she were a little younger, she would be a FAUX cheerleader

Thanks prof!

8. Well, as Miss Millie recently reminded me...

Even a broken clock is correct twice a day.

(Unless it's digital... But, that's a topic for a different
thread. Probably, in the Science Forum.)

10. NASA is the next welfare reform project for disaffected rich Republicans.
