They don’t say where he got the idea for it, but I’m betting that somewhere along the line, someone told him “Mustafa, your scarecrow’s pathetic…”

Incendiary Commentary

Fox News host Geraldo Rivera has accused conservative blogger Matt Drudge of trying to inflame conservatives and “stir up a civil war,” with his coverage of the border crisis.

No, no, wrong war. This one’s “remember the Alamo”.

Elon Musk Says Robots Could Be More Dangerous Than Nukes

Ya know, I wanted to just quip about paranoid Luddites, but by the time I got to this line, I was starting to give my laptop suspicious glances:

“The AI does not love you, nor does it hate you, but you are made of atoms it can use for something else.”

Also, sometimes I think Obama feels the same way about me (I AM NOT A CRACKPOT!)

Rephrasing That

During an interview on CNN, Nancy Pelosi said that she was told that “Hamas is a humanitarian organization”.

Sure. And bank robbers are just “freelance financiers”.

Random Thoughts: Hate, Magnets, and Obama

Posted by on

Can’t all races just come together and hate hipsters or something?

I’m really rooting for Obama to turn things around and become a good president these last two year. It’ll make a great story.

We really should reexamine the idea of letting the government have access to guns.

Let’s not politicize the upcoming election.

I made an unfolded hyperpyramid out of my highly illegal magnet toys.

I have to keep resisting the urge to swallow the tiny, powerful magnets.

Well, I’m not racist, so this sorta sounds like everyone else’s problem.

Thought way to check if mute is on in a conference call is to shout profanities at whoever is speaking, but I guess others do it differently.

Everything a police officer does on duty should be videotaped. And everything a legislator does 24/7.

These police officers seem to have as good a grasp of what’s legal as Obama does of what’s Constitutional.

If we give the government all the guns, money, and power and elect lots of progressives, everything will be okay.

I Love My Country More When It Doesn’t Tax Me Blind

In his weekly radio address, President Obama criticized American companies that “are fleeing the country to get out of paying taxes,” calling them “unpatriotic”.

Didn’t George III used to make a similar argument about tea-drinkers?
