Note from Dan: This is one of many missives I received in the past week from humorless and angry atheists, concerning this column. This was the most unintentionally funny of the lot. I have a special bonus column Monday about them. Make sure you some back then.

Loved the last sentence to the people, after berating an individual for spelling…..`Make sure you SOME back then`…?????????? Shame you have to keep taking down your blog because of us, but it ain`t gong away…Have you done your homework and decided on wheteher Karl Rove OR James O`Keefe is responsible for the `ficticious` Black Panthers ? GE Chairman, Jeffrey Immelt spends $2 Billion to send its Waukesha, Wis., X-Ray division to Beijing, China all the while being Obamas Jobs Czar..GE also paid no income tax on $5.1 BILLION last year…wonder how that happened ? $2BILLION to train the Chinese for jobs at GE in Beijing…why isn`t he concentrating on American jobs ? Beginning to see the picture ??
Stop lying Jeff Doto!
Jeff Doto, the day you actually see the “big picture” you will need to be under observation. You prove why the right wing pols lie and get away with it. Gullible is only the beginning for your description.
#1 Dolto, it’s pretty much impossible to see any picture whatsoever in your confused and manic rants. You’re friggin’ nuts.
#1 I see that DOLTo is carpetbombing the blog with the GE urban legend lie, as pointed out by Sandi on another thread.
You’re talking to a liberal wall Mr. Doto, Casey has funnel vision, sadly the wrong funnel.
Jethro the Dodo,
After exhaustive studies we have determined conclusively that you are too stupid to use the internets without adult supervision.
Log off immediately to do not reconnect until your mommy is able to monitor your online activity for behavior resembling an ignorant uneducated hick with race issues and an anger management problem.
Noncompliance will result in a complete ban of internet privileges in addition to having to go to your room with out desert.
I didn’t know you were African, Dan??

marked, according to this blog, you are whatever you identify with. If Dan has .0008% African heritage and identifies with it, he is in fact an African. This can also change as if you identify differently.

Huh?????
Out of touch with reality, are you. Try “according to the law of the land.” Try “according to leading experts on the subject.”

SNIP
In 1970, racial classification on the Census changed from enumerator identification to self-identification. [emphasis added]
SNIP
Existing evidence on racial and ethnic identity suggests that the early 21st century is a time of changing notions of racial and ethnic identity as immigration continues to fuel the growth of the Asian and Hispanic populations, as intermarriage rates continue to increase, and as the federal government begins to take into account the implications of mixed racial heritage or origins. As the previous discussion shows, the way in which Americans have seen themselves and one another has been influenced by the federal racial and ethnic classification schemes. At the same time, these classification schemes have responded to changes in how people identify themselves and others. The changes between the 1990 and 2000 Censuses are only the more recent examples of these shifts.
SNIP
Self-identification should be the standard method of collecting racial and ethnic information. In the case of death certificates, race and ethnicity should always be determined by asking the next of kin or someone familiar with the individual. This would bring data collection efforts into line with what most other federal agencies do in this area.
People should not be constrained to choose only one group; they should be permitted to choose as many as they wish. This again is in the spirit of the CDC recommendation of relying on self-identification, and would bring other data collection efforts in line with the 2000 Census and the NHIS. Researchers would then have the option of collapsing more detailed categories in various ways.
The race and Hispanic questions should be combined into an origins question. The question might be phrased as “What are this person’s racial or Hispanic origins? Mark one or more origins to indicate what this person considers himself/herself to be.” This goes beyond what federal policy currently specifies, but it would substantially reduce nonresponse to the race question and lessen the need to allocate individuals into racial categories.
Sampling designs that attempt to oversample specific Asian or Hispanic subgroups are better than those that attempt to oversample the generic Asian or Hispanic categories. Nonetheless, statistics on “Hispanics” and “Asians” are more useful than no statistics at all, especially if people recognize the heterogeneity of the categories they are using.

Wow, such well honed interpretative skills must really serve you two well in the real world.
This is one of many missives I received in the past week from humorless and angry atheists, concerning this column. This was the most unintentionally funny of the lot.
Nobody ever said atheists were nuclear physicists. if it ain’t two feet in front of their faces, they don’t believe it exists.
humorless and angry atheists
Warlock, Saintbridge, and Mike Scott are NOT amused at this description of them.
dan, ever hear of “the pot calling the kettle black”? if you are going to call out people who mis-spell words on your blog, it might make sense for you to proof-read what you write before sending….particularly if you, yourself, mis-pell a word, or mis-hit the wrong keyboard letter, in your “hoped for” funny comment… i think this might be righteously called “devine intervention”, while others might ascribe it to your being targeted by Murphy. either way, the irony is remarkable.
#9 mattyr, Malarkey knows all about making up whatever it is you want to pretend you are. He’s done it on this blog enough.
Awww, how cute. I am all encompassing gdad’s little thoughts again!!
It was a joke… Finng moron was what Dan was called. There is a town in Africa called Finng. Get it?
This angry atheist could use some spelling lessons- (Dan Casey)
Wow, what a f—inng moron you are!

And this was under the headline of calling out others for incorrect spelling.
You can’t make this stuff up, folks!
#16 Aww, Malarkey, you completely missed what I meant by my remark. In fact, I was NOT commenting on your post #8, which I got when I went to the wikipedia link. That’s why I didn’t comment immediately after you posted and why my comment was to mattyr, not directly to you.
The “funny” was that mattyr would direct that specific comment to you of all people. And that has nothing to do at all with what you said in #8.
Another huge whiff by Malarkey. Nice going.
“In fact, I was NOT commenting on your post #8, which I got when I went to the wikipedia link. That’s why I didn’t comment immediately after you posted and why my comment was to mattyr, not directly to you.”
Granddad, do they let you babble on incoherently in the home like you do in this masterpiece??
#19 Poor malarkey. No comprehension skills at all. What a sad case.
“…which I got when I went to the wikipedia link.”
“#19 Poor malarkey. No comprehension skills at all. What a sad case.”
Say, granddad, speaking of comprehension skills, what Wikipedia link are you referring to??
Crickets from gdad again I see…
Still no comment from gdad… so sad really.
