Because I Need Something Else to Put My Eye Out With
[High Praise! to Dude! I Want That]
Yet another toy I really wish I’d had when I was a young boy dreaming of wantonly abusing the explosive forces of nature:
* Using air and water, launch a 2 liter plastic soda bottle up to 100 feet into the air.
* Great outdoor fun for picnics, science projects, business lunches, etc.
* Very, very messy and dangerous indoor fun for those same events.

The Green: It Must Be Served
A professor with the Rochester Institute of Technology has called for the incarceration of climate change “deniers”.
Incarceration? Huh… I would’ve guessed he’d want them sentenced to hand-crank wind turbines on still days.

Wisdom of the Day: Cleaner Science Manager Tambourine
Dry cleaner said my shirt is “clean as a whistle,” which I guess means he put it in his mouth and blew all over it.

Worth reiterating: the idea Obama would be an effective manager was never, ever based on any evidence.

Only Taking Water From One Side of the Bucket
The White House has decided that parts of Obamacare are exempt from across-the-board sequester cuts.
Great plan. Like going on a diet and exempting ice cream.
Obama Warned Us – It’s That Year
We’re calling this a year of action … I’m not going to wait for Congress.
“So I’m calling it a year of action without them. Year of action!”
Straight Line of the Day: The Latest Excuse for Delaying the Obamacare Signup Deadline…
Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
The latest excuse for delaying the Obamacare deadline…
Shooting up Obamacare
There’s a candidate for Congress over in Alabama that’s getting some attention with a campaign video. Will Brooke — NOT the guy from Montana, although you can bet some stupid liberal will try to make that connection — is from the Birmingham area and has a business degree and a law degree from the University of Alabama, and is an executive with Harbert Management Corporation.
The sixth District is the middle of the state. It starts a little north of Montgomery and runs to above Birmingham, encompassing much of Jefferson County (where Birmingham is, but not Birmingham itself), as well as Bibb, Blount, Chilton, Coosa, and Shelby counties. It’s conservative. No Democrat has received more than 30% of the vote since 1993, when current Congressman Spencer Bachus (a Republican who’s retiring) unseated Democrat Ben Erdreich.
Republicans running include:
- Scott Beason, Alabama State Senator
- Paul DeMarco, Representative in the Alabama State House
- Chad Mathis, a surgeon
- Gary Palmer, Chief Development Officer of the Alabama Policy Institute
- Robert Shattuck, blogger
- Tom Vigneulle, a business owner and cattle farmer
- Will Brooke, executive at Harbert Management Corporation
I can’t find any Democrats running, so whoever wins the Republican primary will likely be the next Representative for that district.
Oh, yeah. Will Brooke’s video. Have you seen it?

Now, is Will Brooke the man needed in Washington? Maybe. It’s not my district — heck, it’s not even my state — so I don’t have a vote in that race (unless I voted Democrat, then I could vote early, often, and everywhere).
I hope my friends in Alabama make a good decision. And, I hope that whoever is elected to Congress this fall will indeed take down Obamacare.
Random Thoughts: Nate Silver, Farmers, and Jaws
Was wondering if Nate Silver was developing some hubris leading to a face-plant, but I’ve really liked most of what I’ve seen of 538 so far.
New horror movie pitch: Murder Zoo
Was out of cone filters for the coffee maker, so I shaped a paper towel into a cone and used that instead. I’m basically MacGyver.
Stupid farmers. Why can’t they provide something of use to society like lawyers?
I’m afraid that like with Skynet, when President Obama becomes self-aware he’ll freak out and start nuking everyone.
Maybe now the Democrats will run someone in Florida who hates seniors and someone in California who hates putting avocado on everything.
Alias’s rejected boyfriend might be Indiana Jones? Don’t know if that’s Ben Affleck as Batman bad, but still…
When people say not to worry about the national debt, they remind me of that mayor from Jaws.
So far I’ve thought the new 538 site has been pretty good, but that’s just commentary and I don’t have any statistics to bad that up.
Admittedly, Nate Silver does need a bit more rigorous data study to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Paul Krugman is a giant hack. Still, this is a fun article.
Not Good With Numbers
During a recent interview, President Obama said you can “get coverage, all for what it costs you to pay your cell phone bill.”
Sure. If a first class postage stamp cost $1000.
