So Trendy
Phil Schiliro, the White House adviser for health policy, said that Obamacare “is a very popular thing for people”.
Yes, not getting socked with a fine for doing nothing is practically the new iPhone.

Link of the Day: Recursively Delicious! The “Idea” of Little Worlds
[High Praise! to 4of7 of Little Worlds)
As 4of7 explains:
“one day I decided to try to make a circle out of cubes, and it became an on-going process of development and experimentation – different shapes, different colors, different attempts to finesse the secondary elements – Making something made of all straight lines look curved!”

Wisdom of the Day: Prison Thrones Doctor Hand
18 year olds aren't going to like this but I think maybe we should put all the 18 year olds in prison.

Very Annoying
The city of Philadelphia is using “Mosquito” devices that emit a high-pitched whine to keep teens from loitering.
Waste of money. Could just use a tape of Harry Reid on the Senate floor.
Obama Warned Us – Threat
No more stalling: Climate change deniers need to understand now that this is a real threat. http://ofa.bo/bTt #ActOnClimate
“This tweet, I mean. Not climate change.”
Straight Line of the Day: The Most Exciting Feature of the Navy’s New High-Tech Destroyer…
Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.

There’s No Such Thing as “Scientists”
In my new PJ Media column, I argue there are no such thing as scientists, and we should stop using the word.
It’s like if you wanted music for your wedding, and someone came up to you and said, “I know a guy. He’s a musician.”
“What instrument does he play?”
“He’s a musician.”
“Is he any good?”
“He’s a musician.”
You see, when other occupations are vaguely described, we know to ask questions, but because we have blind faith in science, such reason is lost when we hear the term “scientist.” Which is why I’m arguing that for the sake of better scientific understanding, we should get rid of the word and simply replace it with “some guy.”
Rand Simberg also has out recently a column on a similar subject, “We Are All Scientist”.
So, what do you think? Are scientist made up, or have you seen one before? Am I a scientist? How can I be sure? Is there a test I can take to prove it one way or another?
Random Thoughts: Game of Thrones and Rich People Against Income Inequality
That Joffrey chap seemed pretty awful, but at least he never tried to mess with Westeros’s health care.
There’s so many characters in GoT and it’s often hard to distinguish them. For instance, there’s 3 different guys in it named Bob Sacamano.
According to a poll, 35% say Obama is mixed race, 22% say he’s black, and 43% say he’s an idiot.
Sad day for Arya/Joffrey shippers.
The secret to all the weird stuff in the Resident Evil games is to realize that everyone in it is constantly munching on “herbs.”
So has the Game of Thrones TV series gotten to the part with the creator of the ice wall, Elsa, or is that spoilers?
GoT TV show watchers won’t have to worry about spoilers after this season since there’s nothing in books 4 or 5 worth spoiling.
Bet people are going to be happy we never shut down Gitmo when they start discussing where to send that Dutch girl.
You will find little in this universe more dishonest than rich people denouncing income inequality.
“One Weird Trick to Make People Think You’re Weird and Tricky”
Marty McFly should’ve disappeared as soon as he ran into his parents in the past; alter timing even slightly, completely different children.
Might Be Useful for Something
Scientists have used brain scanners to read people’s minds and reconstruct the faces that people are thinking of.
Good. Install it at the airport. If you see 72 virgins, time for a patdown.
