Nuke the News: Missed Debate, More Occupy Damage, and the Boson of Higgs

Posted by on

* Make sure you checked out my New York Post column from Saturday. It was good.

* There was another Republican debate Saturday. I didn’t watch it.

* Still, I feel like I should say something about it. Apparently Romney went after Newt for calling the Palestinians an “invented people”. Oh yeah, that’s how you make traction in a Republican primary: defend the Palestinians. That’s almost a Huntsman level move.

* Obama was on 60 Minutes making the case for his reelection. Here’s what he said.

“You’re all aware of how petty and petulant I am. Well think of how I’ll be from November 7th, 2012, until January 20th, 2013, if I know the American people voted me out of office. Think of all the destruction I can do in that time period. Really, you’re going to tell me I’m fired but leave me in office for months with access to nukes? Just think about that for a second. Not a good idea.”

It’s a pretty good argument.

* Some people are starting to wonder if with Occupy Wall Street whether it’s going to be 1968 for the Democrat National Convention all over again. Democrats need to learn: Never encourage hippies, even if you think there is a short term gain. As soon as you see a hippie, you punch a hippie. Otherwise they spread like mold and spoil everything.

* Occupy is blocking ports today. Yay, interrupting business! So is the Occupy movement’s complaint that they don’t have jobs or that other people have them?

Of course, they’re doing this all to inconvenience the “1 percent” while causing lower class people to lose a day’s wage. People just never figure out that you can’t inconvenience the rich without decimating the poor. But I guess it’s for “fairness”.

* Iran is still taunting us with their captured drone. It’s so heartbreaking; it’s like holding a dog hostage and abusing it. It just doesn’t understand what’s happening to it.

There are fears that the Iranians may be able to reverse engineer the drone. There was some of the same fears when the Palestinians captured a drone, but they were unable to replicate the design using rocks and twigs.

* Oh no. I made fun of the Palestinians. I bet my Republicans readers will leave me.

* Scientists think they’re close to finding the Higgs boson. When they find it, worst case is the world will be destroyed in a black hole. But it’s worth the risk because if we aren’t destroyed and find the Higgs boson… something. I’m not really sure what. Maybe we all get free ice cream.

Oh, we get a better understanding of the relation of matter and energy. Oh, that’s ::yawn:: that’s super. Will this in any way lead to dinosaurs with rocket launchers on them? No?

Useless scientists…

* Wisdom of the Day: “Rick Perry says he’s not ashamed to admit he’s Christian. He credits all his success to the Father, Son, and the uh…there’s a third one.” –MancowMuller

* Here’s another video from The House of Sunny:

So Obama doesn’t seem to think free markets work and that’s why he has to intervene — even though he has about as much business knowledge as he does humility? I thought the Constitution was supposed to keep people like him from messing with our stuff and our businesses; whatever happened to that?

All the books and columns I’m getting paid to write are really getting in the way of my novel writing. #humblebrag

Inconsiderate coworker only has banana Laffy Taffy in his candy jar.

I get to tell my child I was for gun rights before it was a majority held opinion.

Jeans aren’t very warm pants but I don’t know what other types of pants there are.

I don’t get opera singing; it sounds weird and unnatural to me. I put it in the same category as rap music.

I’ve now gotten an Ultimate Badge from Google News for reading articles about video games. That’s how concerned I am for current events.

I hope to keep that my niche: I don’t write smart opinion, I write original opinions.

Obama has been compared to Spock, but he’s more like GlaDOS. Acts cold and aloof, but is childish when angered. Promises cake we’ll never see.
