Random Thoughts: Zimmerman the Hero, Royal Baby, and Nate Silver

Has Obama tried blaming the Detroit bankruptcy on the sequester?

Writing a post-apocalyptic movie about Google going down for a day.

I’m not calling them racist, but I’m guessing the royal couple are going to have a white baby.

One day we’ll have to come to grips with how the election and reelection of Obama was less a triumph over racism than a result of it.

I’m thinking of a new The Incredible Hulk series, but instead it’s outcast George Zimmerman wandering the country saving people.

You can think George Zimmerman made a horrible mistake, but you have to agree that morally he’s a much much better person than Ted Kennedy.

Not having Stand Your Ground is stupid. I should haven’t to take into consideration my attacker’s safety before using self-defense.

Is it really that hard a pill for some people to swallow that George Zimmerman isn’t white Hispanic Hitler?

Wait, the royal family couldn’t get that blood test that would have told them the gender at 12 weeks? That’s nationalized healthcare for ya.

No one cares about princes. There’s no Disney prince line.

So… I’ve been polite so far, but how much longer is this royal baby stuff going to go on?

The royals can’t visit our country, though, because there are still old standing orders to shoot any monarch who sets foot on U.S. soil.

If I’ve learned anything from Game of Thrones, things will not end well for this prince.

Is this Abu Ghraib prison break an important thing? I’m having trouble recognizing actual news stories lately.

So with silly stuff like town criers, the royal family seems more like some contrived reality show than an actual thing.

So as I understand it, a lot of the NYT’s staff just got too upset with Nate Silver constantly walking on their lawn.

So was Bunheads anything like Firefly?

Why are we still talking about Amanda Marcotte? I would think being a big John Edwards booster would be enough to discredit you for life.

Do you know how many Nate Silvers it takes to counteract the stupidity of one Krugman?

Why do people name their kids Mohammed? Don’t they see it’s at the top of the baby name list? Try picking a less common name.

  1. Bunheads was the Gilmore Girls on speed. They talked too much for my wife to follow. For a show about dancing there was a lot of talking.

    It was like every guys’ nightmare. Because even if they stopped talking, they’d start dancing.

  2. How many Nate Silvers to counteract the stupidity of one Krugman? That’s a staggering calculation. The “Krugman” is a unit of stupidity so massive and immense that it can only be estimated, not even measured.

  3. Zimmer Man would re-empower himself by wearing a beige hoodie, sporting the color of the WHisPer…setting himself apart from his archenemies the Travonian Justicians who sport dark hoodies.

    In fact, in the tradition of Bruce Wayne/Batman, it could play out as George Zimmerman/WHisPer superhero persona. By day, a seldom-seen neighborhood watch commander, at night, a woefully misunderstood White-Hispanic Personage know as The WHisPer who looks to thwart evildoers sent forth from the planet Travonia.

    Something like that.

    I expect royalties to begin pouring in from Stan Lee/Marvel or DarkHorse any day now.

  4. As for the latest royal spalpeen, it’s surprising, given the power struggles recently manifest at this site, being akin to the internecine rows in the House of Windsor, that a greater celebration of this birth is not being made.

    After all, the Brit Royals have a no-Irish policy as well.

    So why not chuck all that Yankee-doodling, Spirit of ’76 blathering and be honest about a resumption of toadying to the colonies’ once-and-possibly-future monarchy?

  5. Do you know how many Nate Silvers it takes to counteract the stupidity of one Krugman?

    Yes, I do. It’s a universal constant, equal to the speed of light in meters/second, and also to the number of men in a check-out line necessary to delay it as much as one woman.

  6. I hope they name the royal baby Spencer. He’ll have about 5 other names but Spencer should be one and they should call him Spence……………..That way Charles will really pay for the damage he did to those boys and their mother. (as well as putting the Rottweiler’s nose out of joint).
