So it was easy enough to laugh these folks off on Bill O'Reilly's show. Now they're being brought in on CNN among other networks to analyze the candidates' body language in the debates. Is it me or do these folks seem uncomfortably pseudoscientific?

Pfft, you don't need body language experts when you have Graphology! You can tell who will be the best president by simply looking at their signitures.

"...things I have neither seen nor experienced nor heard tell of from anybody else; things, what is more, that do not in fact exist and could not ever exist at all. So my readers must not believe a word I say." -Lucian on his book True History

"...They accept such things on faith alone, without any evidence. So if a fraudulent and cunning person who knows how to take advantage of a situation comes among them, he can make himself rich in a short time." -Lucian critical of early Christians c.166 AD From his book, De Morte Peregrini

The bong hits they are doing between analysis is a giveaway.

They seem to be taking forever to get to the important facts. I'm waiting to know what they wear, Boxers or Briefs, then I can decide.
