Science!: Is Our Anti-Matter Cold Enough?

I think the one complaint scientists get the most is that the anti-matter they make just isn’t cold enough. Well guess what? They’ve made it colder! 9.26 Kelvin. That’s just 17 degrees Fahrenheit above absolute zero. That should be plenty cold for anything you need it for!

Wait, what did you say you needed it for?

Oh yeah, I guess for that, you’d need it even colder. Still, I think this will be plenty cold for a lot of people.

Ever since scientists first discovered anti-matter, they were like, “But how do we make this cold?” They tried to put it on ice, but it would just explode since the ice was made out of normal matter. Similarly, blowing on it didn’t work. So then they made a magnetic trap. That worked awesomely. So now they have cold anti-matter and that is pretty… well… cool.

So what do you with cold anti-matter? Well, you get a news story written up about it for one thing. And then you work to make it even colder. Because Science! marches on. And there is no such thing as anti-matter being “too cold.”

Super Popular Things Democrats Can Run on This Election Year

Nancy Pelosi thinks it will be a great idea for Democrats to run on Obamacare in November. Similarly, here are some other great ideas of things Democrats could run on:

SUPER POPULAR THINGS DEMOCRATS CAN RUN ON THIS ELECTION YEAR

* Their hatred in general for patriotism.

* How much NASA has helped Muslim self-esteem.

* How they’ve made sure people don’t get oppressed just because they brandish weapons at polls at want to kill crackers.

* How they’ve assured America will live forever in the Guinness Book of World Records under “Largest Deficit.”

* How only the Democrat Party can carry on Ted Kennedy’s tradition of big spending, government expansion, and giving women rides home.

* The continued, down-to-earth weirdoism of Speaker Pelosi.

* How much they’ve talked about doing something about that oil spill.

* How they’ll go after anyone who dares question a public official and will rough them up if necessary.

* That they’re the only party concerned with the political imprisonment of Roman Polanski.

* Some of their most corrupt member are resigning or died, so they need to start working on the next generation.

* Their contempt for the American people.

Some News Stuff

* Obama assures us there won’t be rationing or death panels in Obamacare, and then tries to sneak in a guy to head health care who said quote, “Rationing is awesome and super cool. I can’t wait to ration health care!” I guess we should just feel lucky Obama is so blatant when he tries to be sneaky like using a recess appointment without trying a regular appointment first. It’s like if he were a robber he dresses in all black the day before a heist and everyone sees him and is like, “Why are you dressed like that? Are you about sneak in somewhere and do something sneaky?” And Obama is like, “No… and so what if I am?” Dumbass.

* Job number one for NASA, as everyone knows, is improving Muslim self-esteem. Job number two: Testing complaints about soccer balls.

* Researchers have found that fish talk to each other. So I think you all owe Aquaman an apology for saying he was full of it.

* CNN fired a reporter for tweeting praise of a Hezbollah leader. It would be nice if news organizations stopped making their primary hires fringe leftists who are completely disassociated from the views and concerns of the average American, but getting rid of the ones who praise terrorism is a start. Anyway, IMAO has a similar policy to let go any blogger who tweets praise of clamshell packaging.

Random Thoughts

To be honest, to get American freedom, we did have to kill some crackers.

I like the alternate universe John McCain we get during a tough primary fight.

I see libertarianism as more of an ideal to strive for than a workable political philosophy.

I strive to be libertarian, except where impractical. I strive to be nice to my fellow man, except when I have to punch him in the face.

Compromise: We secretly legalize drugs but don’t tell anyone… especially not law enforcement or judges.

I still don’t think kids should be able to do drugs. They’re just not cool enough.

I was intimidated on the way to the polls because someone was outside playing Pantera really loud. Little different.

Accidentally read some of Sullivan’s blog. The Atlantic really should charge a nickel a gander for their freak show.

I don’t watch basketball and don’t know who LeBron James is, but I’m going to go ahead and declare him overrated. He’s certainly no Justin Bieber.

Maybe Obama can go on TV with LeBron and make it an “Unemployed Going Back to Work” special.

Controversial Opinions IMAO Will be Avoiding

A memo said the TSA may block websites with controversial opinions. The TSA has backed off of that since, but I don’t want to risk IMAO traffic so I’m going to try to avoid controversial opinions in the future. So here are some opinions you will NOT be seeing at IMAO:

* Kittens are better than puppies.

* All supernatural creatures should sparkle.

* By far, Godfather III was the best of the Godfather movies.

* Everything should come in clamshell packaging.

* In a fair fight, pirates would beat ninjas.

* The best flavor jellybean is coconut.

* We shouldn’t let Hitler ruin the Charlie Chaplin mustache for everyone.

* The best movie reviewer: Armond White.

* In a fair fight, zombies would beat robots.

* The internet is officially over.

* The Star Wars prequels were superior in every way to the original trilogy.

* The next manned space mission should be to Venus.

* The best cell service provider: AT&T.

* Aquaman is stronger than the Hulk.

Challenging the Arizona Immigration Law

So Obama won’t enforce the borders, but he will spend our tax money on trying to make sure no one else will by bringing a lawsuit against Arizona. I get it that Obama doesn’t particularly care for Americans, but does he really have to keep sticking his thumb in our eyes like this?

Interestingly, though everyone claims the Arizona law is racial profiling because they think anything enforcing our border is racial profiling, Obama is not making that charge in his lawsuit. So either the Arizona law isn’t discriminatory, or Obama loves racism.

What he is charging is preemption. Basically, Eric Holder is saying the Arizona law is interfering with the feds ability to not enforce federal law and is unconstitutional — not that Holder has read the Arizona law or the Constitution yet. So since illegal immigrants are breaking federal law, Arizona police can’t arrest them. And I guess if people rob a post office in Arizona, local police can’t arrest them either since that’s a federal offense. I don’t know how that makes any sense, but there it is.

This is just unbelievably stupid. Is Obama really this dimwitted and self-destructive to waste time on this, or does he have some genius plan I’m not smart enough to see and I’m falling right into his trap? Judging from history so far, I’m going with dimwitted and self-destructive, but keep a lookout for genius, evil plans.

NASA: Fostering Self-Esteem for Crappy Nations

So what’s the foremost mission of NASA? To explore strange new worlds? To seek out new life and new civilizations? To boldly go where no man has gone before?

No, it’s to make Muslims feel good about themselves!

Isn’t Obama making everything in America better?

Well, making Muslim nations feel good about their crappy state of affairs does seem like a challenge on par with going to the moon. As I understand, a thousand years ago, Muslims were the most technologically superior people out there. And a thousands years later, they haven’t really advanced any from that point.

Of course, maybe some people shouldn’t have self-esteem. Considering that all the Muslim nations wouldn’t be at all notable except for the fact they have oil and terrorism, maybe they should feel really bad about themselves. Feeling bad about themselves is a motivation to do better. Maybe NASA could foster that. We could have our space shuttle fly low over their countries yelling, “Look what you can’t do because you suck!” Muslim nations really do need to come to grips with how much they suck if they want to get out of their rut, and we could really help with that.

Random Thoughts

Reviews for Inception so far say it’s pretty awesome, but I find it impossible to get excited for a movie that stars Leonardo DiCaprio. DiCaprio is a good actor, just not good enough to convincingly play an adult. I see him, I think “Grown up child actor.” If Gary Coleman was a really good actor, could you take him seriously as a leading man?

I don’t like liberal politics, but I don’t think Obama has done anything as harmful to society as making vampires sparkle.

It’s dizzying how many cool apps, games, and media there is to buy for my iPad if I hadn’t already spent all my money on the iPad.

Prince has declared the internet “over.” Just more bad news for Al Gore.

Does the federal government ignoring a law supersede a state enforcing it?

I found a way to use your iPad under sunlight: You drop a thick tarp over you and the iPad.

So Obama won’t enforce the borders, but he will spend our tax money on making sure states don’t either.

Pretty, Pretty Vampires

Saw Eclipse over the weekend. SarahK loved it. For me, it was… brutal.

Remember when vampires and werewolves used to be cool? They were vicious supernatural creatures always attack people and each other, but now they just sit around and sparkle and talk about their feelings. Why did women have to do that to them? And why did we let them? What if women go after more of our cool stuff and do things like a remake of Die Hard called Has Feelings Hard? It’s like there’s a movement out there that won’t rest until everything is pale and effeminate.

It really does seem like our society is reaching its end, isn’t it? Economy is collapsing. Threats emerging everywhere. Oil spilling into the oceans unabated. Sparkly vampires.

Patriotic Liberals

A survey showed that conservatives are twice as likely as liberals to be strongly patriotic, which is kinda duh. To illustrate, look at what was a recommend diary on the Daily Kos on Independence Day. It’s best summarized as “Stupid wingnuts think America is so great, and here is why they’re wrong!” And remember the whole flag pin thing and Obama? He made a big show of not wearing a flag pin during the primary because being anti-patriotic is actually a plus to the far left. But in the general election, suddenly Obama had a flag pin as most Americans prefer to elect people who actually kinda like this country.

So what is a patriotic liberal? One who cuts himself?

The Ultimate Solution Approaches

Oil. Still leaking. Obama is still flopping around uselessly like a bird covered in oil. And now more and more people are talking about nuking the oil leak. I find the more desperate a situation gets, the more my crazy ideas become common wisdom.

So should we nuke the oil leak? Of course we should. The oil leak is our enemy. We nuke our enemies to teach them that being our enemy is bad.

And what are the possible downsides? None. Except that it might not stop the oil leak and then we’ll get radioactive oil spilled into the gulf. And maybe we’ll wake Godzilla. And then he’ll emerge from the Gulf covered in oil and catch fire and then we’ll have to deal with a giant flaming Godzilla.

But I’m in Idaho and very far from the Gulf so I’m willing to take these risks. Mr. President, it’s time to be all presidential and nuke the crap out of something. It’s what George Washington would do if he had nukes and knew what crude oil was.

My favorite pollster is Pew because that’s the sound lasers make. Pew! Pew!

Sounds like if they’re going to do a movie of the Russian spy ring, it will have to be a goofball comedy to be accurate.

I thought if you looked up “dictionary” in a dictionary, it would say, “You obviously know what this word means. Stop wasting my time.”

Hearing about Al Gore and “releasing the chakra” is disturbing… unless he said it like Liam Neeson. “Release the chakra!”

Mayor Daley: “Once again, gun control measure 8,327 made things worse, but measure 8,328 should finally work!”

Why do we still have court artists? Is it really so awful to let a guy come in and snap one picture?

Saw Eclipse with SarahK. We’re now even for her carrying my child.

There were like 80 tertiary characters in Eclipse. Couldn’t they have killed off at least one to try and make some dramatic tension?

Do cats eat flowers in the wild, or is that just a domestic cat thing?

Can’t the far left leave leading this country to people who actually kinda like it?

July 5th

Today is July 5th, the day we celebrate the day after signing the Declaration of Independence. That’s when the Founding Fathers were all like, “What did we just do? What did we just do? How drunk were we? The British are so going to kill all of us. They are going to come over here in red coats and shoot us with muskets!”

And another was like, “Maybe it’s not too late. Maybe we can take it back and… Oh no! The mailman already came! That letter is going to King George, and he is going to capture us all and throw us in a pit filled with angry baboons. I just know it!”

And John Hancock was like, “Why did I have to sign it so big? I just wanted to show my wife I’m a big man. They’re going to hang me while shooting me with muskets. I’m going to go dig a hole and hide in it.”

And George Washington was like, “You idiots! Another fine mess you’ve gotten me into. Guess there’s nothing left to do except beat the British militarily and form our own country. Anyone have like a For Dummies book on military tactics or something?”

And that’s the story of our country.
