Nuke the News: Newt Gets a ‘Stache, Gun Control, and Partisan TV

* Gingrich has said if he becomes president, he’ll make John Bolton the Secretary of State.

Dude. He’s almost won the IMAO endorsement right there.

Think about it: The ‘stache unleashed on all the world. Countries will fear us again. Almost as much as if we had space lasers.

Though I still want America to have space lasers. Promise that we’ll build space lasers to fry our enemies from space, Newt, and you’ll get the IMAO endorsement.

* In Obama news, Obama is still president and he’s not very good at it. I really think we have to do something about it, but I hear we’re not planning to until next year.

* Hey, what do you call it when a guy shoots up a military base while screaming, “Allahu Akbar!”? Answer: Workplace violence. And I guess 9/11 was some sort of inter-office dispute. Know what I really like about this administration? How they take murderous Islamists seriously.

* Memos show that ATF officials were planning to use Fast & Furious — where they sold gun to Mexican drug cartels — as an argument for more gun control. It certainly does help one make a good argument that the federal government shouldn’t be allowed access to guns.

* Johnny Hawkins of Right Wing News has a survey of right-leaning bloggers on the Republican primary. I’m one of the two people who voted for Huntsman as his first choice. I don’t know why I did that. I guess I felt like being whimsical. This primary has been kind of weird: I kind of like all our candidates, but at the same time I kind of really don’t like all of them.

* Rick Perry’s favorite blog: Hot Gas. If only we could get him to name drop the LMBO blog and it’s “Blow Up Mars” initiative.

* Here’s another survey of right versus left TV viewing habits. The left like sarcasm and anti-heroes, and the right like shows about work and reality competitions. I think I have an idea for a reality show that could be a crossover hit: Alec Baldwin getting forcefully thrown out of different places.

* Wisdom of the Day: “If no one ever mocks you for being a Christian, you’re doing it wrong.” –Joe Carter

* You know the myth about the Mythbusters show being safe to surrounding neighborhoods? Myth busted. Along with a house.

By the way, Mythbusters is one of the favorite conservative shows. I thought they were anti-science? I guess the right don’t like science where you just have to trust what someone is theorizing but instead like science that can actually be demonstrated. And explosions.

Random Thoughts

All these problems we have will be over as soon as we find the Higgs boson.

When we have a space elevator, I’m going to enter it carrying a bunch of groceries and say, “Someone hit the button for ‘space’ for me.”

I noticed the Kindle version of my book now shows popular highlight. Neat feedback.
