[High Praise! to Anonymiss of Nuking Politics]

You know who’s NOT a geek?
Obama.
Mostly because he keeps getting snagged on that whole “being honest” thing.
Anyway, what’s your favorite Simon Pegg movie?

I’m usually ambivalent about Mental Floss, but this is a pretty good episode, containing a lot of answers to questions I’ve always been curious about, but was just too lazy to Google.

Former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said he plans to spend $50 million of his own money to set up a grassroots network to oppose the National Rifle Association.
Why? Have they been loading their shotguns with salt?

“a more just and sustainable economic system not based on the profit motive or the exploitation of waged labor.”
Alex, I believe the question is “What is slavery?” (sort of a trick question, since there are no wages, and the motive is an insane, unquenchable thirst for power over other human beings)
[High Praise! to 4of7 of Little Worlds]
The “Idea” of Little Worlds – Part 4
When I look at “Wobbely World”, I think “what if the government tried to design concentric circles?”
Oh, and there’s more penguiny goodness.

I celebrate Orthodox Cinco de Mayo which isn't for about two weeks.

"Use the camera good." "Hey actor don't eat a chocolate bar right now." "Keep the lights on." I'd be such a great director

Whenever someone says smart phones are turning people into zombies, look up from your phone just long enough to bite them.

The NYPD is disbanding the special unit that was tasked with infiltrating radical Muslim organizations.
Yep, the poor fellas kept not finding any government-disparaging Presbyterian grandmothers to harass.
“We’re using existing money to create opportunities for hardworking Americans like you.” —President Obama #ActOnJobs
“Mostly by making that same money non-existent for the people who we’re taxing it away from. Spreadin’ it around, baby!”
Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
The Obama line that got the most laughs at the White House correspondents’ dinner…
The left are always looking how to prove they’re the smart reasonable ones without arguing the merits of their ideas.
This is a similar impulse to times I’ve seen the left assert only they can be funny. It’s a deep-seated insecurity. And for good reason.
But what do I know? I’m some psychopath who thinks math should have something to do with the federal budget.
Carney assuring reporters that no one who died in Benghazi was anyone the president cared about.
Carney: “There is nothing the WH did wrong about Benghazi. Our constant lies and deceptions about it are just for funsies.”
I’m pretty sure sombreros are racist.
I don’t like the the hashtag for the new 24 miniseries — #24LAD. Sounds like the name of Jack Bauer’s sidekick.
Hate explaining to my daughter we went to the moon before I was born and the US can’t even get people in space right now.
She’s usually too busy playing on her iPad to hear me, though.
When we have a Republican president, holding a lying administration accountable will be cool again! I can’t wait!
I hope the cliffhanger at the end of the first episode of 24 is Jack Bauer fighting a cougar atop Big Ben.
Caution, Jack Bauer; remember that Obama, the US’s third black president, is okay with taking out American citizens with drones.
“I am a robot. Why would someone want to own a home?” *zrrrrt* “Does not compute!”
I know it’s bad form to compare someone you don’t like to Hitler, but I think Obama is a better president than Hitler.
Why would people not have children? You can’t win at evolution if you don’t have children.
I only have two children. I think you need at least three to really complete at evolution — more than replacement.
GOP sure has been good at convincing public that super successful Obamacare is a failure. If only Dems had someone who was good at oration.
Since Keith Olbermann got trapped down a well, has anyone kept track of who the worst person in the world is?
If you told me when I was a kid that streaming services would have great original shows, I’d have yelled, “Stranger danger!” and run away.
I tell my daughter that maybe when she’s an adult, she can be the first person on Mars… as my parents told me 🙁
It took less than 70 years to get from Kitty Hawk to landing on the moon; really seems like we lost momentum after that.
My daily Dilbert calendar doesn’t say yesterday was Cinco de Mayo; did you all make that holiday up?
If I were Sauron, I would have put some security guards and metal detectors around Mount Doom to check for rings.
I would’ve been a great Sauron.
Ripping apart a tiny child inside you is probably never going to be a happy, normal thing.
Always wondered what the neighbor’s miniature doberman is hoping to accomplish when it runs onto my lawn and barks at me.
I could completely ignore it, and it would spend an hour standing a few feet away and yipping at me.
Actually, makes no difference if I ignore it or kneel down and try to call it to me; it will stand a few feet away and yip constantly.
Oh, small dogs; the world was cruel to you. Mentally, you’re still wolves, but physically you’re less than kittens.
They should keep CTU staffed by only one person so it will be easy to tell who the mole is. #24
So is Yvonne Strahovski being typecast as a CIA agent? #24
If I’m counting right, there has been 9 presidents in #24 (including unnamed president in 1st season). High turnover job.
In my lifetime, I have seen 6 presidents so far.
I completely forgot about Jack’s catchphrase “Damn it!” #24
I remember when I hated Chloe when she was first introduced in season 3, but now it’s hard to imagine #24 without her.
Jack Bauer is the sole defender of the U.S., the country where everyone hates him and wants to capture him. #24
I want to root for the one competent person at the CIA, but she’s also opposed to Jack Bauer, so I’m confused. #24
So Jack Bauer is still fighting terrorists worldwide, and all he costs the US is the money we spend trying to hunt him down. #24
That poor military guy will probably be cleared when a drone assassinates the president while he’s in custody. #24
A great surprise ending would be for the Doctor to show up in his Tardis and give Jack Bauer a 25th hour to fix things. #24
Captions had one of Jack’s famous “Copy that.” but he didn’t say it. #24
Basically, everything Dave Barry made fun of in his column turned up in these first two episodes. #24
So how intimate did he get with his girlfriend if he never realized she was wearing a wig? #24
Talks are underway for the federal government to give Detroit’s pension system a $100 million bailout.
Yes, why just throw money down a rathole when you can spend it on a bigger hole?
