Nye Lied, I Sighed
2015-05-22
by John Derbyshire

[TakisMagazine] Bill Nye the Science Guy gave a commencement speech at Rutgers on Sunday. Reading the speech left me thinking that if this is America's designated Science Guy, I can be the nation's designated swimsuit model.

...What did the Science Guy have to say to the Rutgers graduates? Well, he warned them of the horrors of climate change, which he linked to global inequality.

#10  Fakers, quakers, don't pass by --
Step right up to see Bill Nye!
You'll laugh and learn -- I wouldn't lie --
But do haul ass -- the end is nigh!
Is he god, or just vaudevillian?
See for yourself -- one thin quadrillion!
Okay, folks, you've seen the show.
Please keep moving, left you go.
Leave your children at the door --
Two fun years with Algore Corps!

Earthlings! Please do not defy
Bill "Shill" Nye, Compliance Guy.

#9  He needs a new nickname. How about "Bill Nye, the Warmer Fraud guy" Or just Fraud guy. Sounds about right.

#7  I think he was one of a comedy troupe up in Seattle and his Bill Nye the science guy bit took off and became more serious and less comedy when he got his own show.

#3  Once you've heard a girl person with a degree in Biochemistry, orating on the advantages of "natural" foods---nothing else can ever surprise you, CF.

#2  Important to note that Nye has no scientific credentials.

But he does hold a patent for creating a magnifying slash out of a container of water. So every tine you pour a glass of water into a clear glass and look thru the glass, you may be infringing on his patent.

#1  The mask is coming off.

It isn't about saving the planet, it is about forcing communism on the world.
