Julie just left. and I am a pleased and pristine puddy tat.  She also gets a lot more done than  Lu used to, so I\u2019m thrilled with her.  I have a grocery delivery coping this afternoon, so I\u2019ll get to put everything away.  It\u2019s another hot muggy day, not at all normal for April in Oregon, where April showers bring May rain.<\/font><\/p>\n

In New York, Hollary posted an impressive 15 point spread. To win, Bernie needs 1193 more delegates. Hillary needs 452. To have the majority of pledged delegates, Bernie needs 875 more. Hillary needs 598 more.<\/font><\/p>\n

From Daily Kos<\/a>: <\/font>Fox and other right-wing outlets have always used certain \u201cgo-to" logical fallacies in their ideological arguments: ad hominem<\/a>, straw man<\/a>, and non sequitur. (Actually, if you listen to any one of Trump\u2019s speeches, you can usually hear examples of all three in the same speech.) Although the right wing still uses these the most, lately I have noticed the increased use of several uncommon fallacies that are becoming more and more common in conservative circles. Although there are literally hundreds of logical fallacies<\/a>, I\u2019m just going to focus on these few. Let\u2019s begin \u2026<\/p>\n

1. ONUS IMPROBATIONIS (\u201cBurden of disproof\u201d)<\/h6>\n

This is a type of Ad ignorantiam, which is to claim something is true because it cannot be proven false. What this subcategory refers to is putting the burden on you to disprove their belief. The problem is that this is impossible. Decades ago, my statistics teacher gave me an example that I still remember: the Loch Ness Monster. Even if you somehow managed to drain the entire loch, and had teams of people scouring the ground, would that satisfy the believers? Of course not. They’d argue that the mythical beast just went into hiding, or was transported, or some other such nonsense.<\/p>\n

I always think about this fallacy when I hear the Birthers. They are a PERFECT example. No amount of evidence will ever satisfy them: experts, analysis of the document, records, birth announcements in newspapers\u2014nothing. I recalled seeing the segment below years ago and specifically searched for this because I really want you to hear what birther Alan Keyes says immediately after  the host read through ALL of the evidence of Obama\u2019s birth in Hawaii. It starts at the 1:10 mark. He says two words that blew my mind\u2014and prove my point.<\/p>\n

I promise it\u2019s worth it:<\/p>\n
