[High Praise! to Liberal Logic 101]
NOTE: This would not apply to Communism, Progressivism, or Liberalism – which would all work perfectly (and as intended) – because the name is different.

Well-Deserved Discrimination
[High Praise! to The Daily Show]
Speaking of Google Glass…

UPDATE: I swapped out the annoying auto-play Comedy Central video for a non-autoplaying YouTube version.
While Paying Double for Electricity Causes Joy
A new study claims that “climate change” will increase stress, anxiety, and depression.
But only for people not getting their government-funded climate-change grants renewed.
Celebrate, Graduate!
If I failed at something more than half the time and no one on the entire planet born after 1997 even knew I existed, I would… keep on going because I’m just some idiot blogger banging away at my keyboard.
THIS, however, is supposed to be science, and I’ll bold the key passages:
“According to the RSS satellite data, whose value for April 2014 is just in, the global warming trend in the 17 years 9 months since August 1996 is zero. The 212 months without global warming represents more than half the 423-month satellite data record, which began in January 1979. No one now in high school has lived through global warming.”
Take Demotivational Cat’s advice, global warming fans…
Link of the Day: There’s a Name for People Who Wear Google Glass
[High Praise! to Dr. Omed’s Tent Show Revival]
Not sure if I need a language warning on this, since the term for Glass-wearer only rhymes with a bad word. But it’s used repeatedly in the piece, and the term won’t be going away anytime soon, so it’s best to be an early adopter and decide now if you think it’s offensive and needs censoring.
And, having actually MET a Glass-wearer, I can’t honestly say the term isn’t appropriate. Smug-wise, they make iPeople look like Mother Teresa.
Tangential thought: hard to believe all those “super-smart” people at Google didn’t see this particular bit of derogatoria coming and pick a different name for their toy.

Familiar
At a White House briefing, members of Congress were told the Taliban 5 weren’t terrorists, “they were government officials”.
Oh… like the idiots who approved their release?
Obama Warned Us – Positioning
“We want young people to be in a position to pursue their dreams.” —President Obama #CollegeOpportunity
“That’s why we’ve created the new Affordable Dream Act. Free dreams for everyone! Uh… except the UnDreamed and people with Cadillac Dreams, who will be punitively taxed.”
Straight Line of the Day: The REAL Cause of the Alaskan Earthquake…
Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
The REAL cause of the Alaskan earthquake…
Unscientific Poll
In the comments to this post, Zach said:
“I’m confused. I thought Basil was the old guy who used to listen to vinyl.”
I’m also an old guy who listened to vinyl.
Not sure about Frank.
So, to help Zach be less confused, please leave a comment if you’re an old guy who used to listen to vinyl.
And in order to exclude whippersnappers who’ve only listened to “scratching“, I’ll define “listened to vinyl” as “placing the needle on a record and letting it play through the entire song, as a habitual form of entertainment”.
They Learned Nothing
A new report shows that 90 Obama administration officials were aware of the Bergdahl trade before a single member of Congress was informed.
And they STILL couldn’t come up with a better plan than “let Susan Rice explain it”.
