Miscellaneous thoughts on politics, people, math, science and other cool (if sometimes frustrating) stuff from somewhere near my favorite coffee shop.

J'Accuse!
Sonnygirl at RUFKM has an oddly compelling argument that Nancy Grace killed Caylee Anthony. I think Sonnygirl (if that's his real name) does an excellent job of pointing out the competing weaknesses and strengths of her conjecture; anyone who makes the effort to critically examine their own arguments objectively deserves to be (at least) listened to. Which 1) is why I won't listen to Nancy Grace, and 2) is why I think we should lock up Nancy Grace right now. Better safe than sorry. Because the more I think it through, Sonnygirl's argument could almost be extended to suspecting that Nancy Grace had committed every murder in the US over the last 4 or 5 years... at least those involving young, attractive, white victims.
that's brilliant; nice find
ReplyDeleteThanks for the mention! Sonnygirl is one of our newest contributors. Glad you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteI love it when people like loosecannon and yourself tear the stupid apart using basic logic.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome! My wife and I were just talking about this last night! I was telling her about how I wondered how someone like Grace could even have a show-she berates any expert(s) who don't agree with her assumptions of guilt or non guilt-(usually she thinks everyone is guilty) and like the post said, has not stopped yapping about the Cayleigh case since it broke. If I hear her say "Top Mom" again, I swear, I'll......do something!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your mention of my post! That was quite a pleasant surprise. You may be shocked to hear that there's some people out there who were terribly offended by what I had to say. It certainly makes for an interesting debate. Thanks again!
