Obvious Solution
Kevin Concannon, USDA undersecretary for food, nutrition, and consumer services said strict school lunch rules are necessary because obesity is “a national security issue”.
Easy fix. Just let the schools have “undocumented menus”.

“We’re actually glad that the president is committing 3000 troops to the fight against ebola – we’re just surprised that he was able to do it without lecturing us about the many cultural and scientific contributions ebola made to helping us land a man on the moon.”

Wisdom of the Day: ISIS Squirrels Liquor Scotland
A new report says STDs are running rampant in areas controlled by ISIS, so you might want to consider other spring break destinations.

I'm the Johnny Appleseed of putting little tiny beer bottles in dead squirrels' paws.

Beer before liquor, never been sicker. Liquor before xanex, how did we end up in Des Moines?

I'm guessing an independent Scotland will be sort of a drunker version of North Korea. #KimJongMcGill

At This Point, It’s the Best Case Scenario
Geophysicists say the volcano under Yellowstone could undergo a “super eruption” which would blanket the entire country in ash.
And STILL cause less damage than fully implementing Obamacare.

Supporting new carbon pollution limits, @OFA volunteers were out in force gathering signatures in their communities. http://ofa.bo/a0ig

Random Thoughts: iOS 8, Shakespeare, and GamerGate
Tip for the Left: Spend time attacking Biden, Reid for racism. Then when you attack right, we might actually believe it’s not just partisan.
The reason the iOS 8 download is so big is that it includes all of U2’s albums.
I had never heard of Shakespeare before I read about this Biden quote controversy.
Actually, I think I was forced to read some Shakespeare in high school. All I remember from it was this constant whining about “phonies.”
Is there anyway to hand out the MacArthur Genius Grant without it sounding sarcastic? “Here you go, genius.”
I want to see that new FOX cooking show “Got Ham.” It’s supposed to have Batman in it for some reason.
My favorite scene in Shakespeare is that speech directed at Lady Macbeth about “I am the one who knocks!”
This has to be the most anyone has talked about Scotland since England executed Mel Gibson.
I don’t think this #GamerGate thing is going to go away unless there is some bombshell like a release date on Half Life 3.
Have to feel bad for gaming journalist who just want to write whiny social commentary but are stuck doing 50 posts a day about Destiny.
I Finally Remembered!
Tomorrow (Friday, September 19th) is “Talk Like a Pirate Day“, and I usually forget until about halfway through the day, and by then it’s too late to play along.
But this year, I – and consequently YOU – have plenty of warning.
Now get ridin’, Paul Revere, and spread the word.
Simple Solution
The government’s National Science Foundation is spending $1 million to create an online database that will track “false and misleading ideas” on Twitter.
