		<description>I am always late to the party, but all I can say, this is Redding.

You should see the media beating the police get up here for doing their job and protecting the public. Blah! OK I won&#039;t get started.

I would hate to see if they had any type talk dedicated to skepticism or atheism up here in, if they say the south has a &quot;bible belt&quot; I would call this town the belt bucket.

I would be glad to find the article in cut it out and have one my animals take a dump on it, just so you know not all of us Redding rednecks are represented by our local paper ;)</description>

		<description>How about Cranio-Rectal Coincidence Syndrome?  CRCS is a pretty nice acronym, and it conjures a pretty good image.</description>

		<description>&quot;Oh well, you canâ€™t please everybody, and, of course, you canâ€™t reason someone out of a position they didnâ€™t reason themselves into.&quot;

Oooooo, that&#039;s good.  I always have trouble coming up with the words to describe that phenomenon, but that works.  I don&#039;t like to say that you can&#039;t win an argument with an idiot...</description>

		<description>Oh man!  I don&#039;t know what to believe!  Between the Moon Hoaxers, who say we never went, and Richard Hoagland, who says we went, and found alien ruins.  Can someone help me?  Are there any other choices?</description>

		<description>&quot;I still get a shrug and a &#039;I still think itâ€™s a hoax/cover-up/conspiracy&#039;.&quot;

That&#039;s the problem. They want science to be just another person&#039;s opinion, so they get &quot;equal treatment.&quot; When you point out that they don&#039;t know what they&#039;re talking about, they think you aren&#039;t playing fair.

A friend used to say that opinions are like belly buttons- everybody has one. My reply is that no, they are like bank accounts. Most everybody has one, but they are not all of equal value.</description>

		<description>Well, Squid, possibly, but use recto- spelio.  or possibly gluteo....



How about &quot;Dual-Manual Gluteal portable-illumination-assisted non-location disease&quot;
(Can&#039;t find their backside with both hands and a flashlight)

Of course, DMGPIALD isn&#039; as catchy an acronym as RSNDS...</description>
