Wait… People Learn Things in School?
[Misconceptions You Learned in School – mental_floss on YouTube (Ep.1)] (Viewer #399,021)
Most of these I already knew were bogus, but I like that he explained why they were.
They’ve Taken Yukon Cornelius Hostage!
The leader of ISIS has ordered the terror organization to start minting gold, silver, and copper coins for its own currency.
Let me guess – the front of the coins will be headless.
If They’re Given the Power to Do It, Eventually They Will

Pass the Cheetos
The federal government spent $10 million developing a video game aimed at fighting obesity.
Yes, because nothing says “svelte” like a nerd on a couch with a controller in his hand.
Obama Warned Us – Immigration
Read the President’s latest op-ed on why he acted on immigration: http://ofa.bo/b1qv #ImmigrationAction
“Or read the fable of the scorpion and the frog. Basically the same thing.”

Obama’s Executive Order of the Day
President Obama made the following proclomation from the green on the 11th hole this morning:
After a careful reevaluation of the grand jury transcripts of the Wilson case, I have decided that body cameras for police officers will not go far enough to accurately document what occurs in situations such as this. The evidence presented during the grand jury clearly exonerated Officer Wilson, and I am not sure that a body camera mounted on Officer Wilson would have changed that result. This is clearly not acceptable. Eye witness accounts were discredited merely because they contradicted with all of the known physical evidence. Doesn’t it just feel wrong that all these voices are disenfrachised merely because they ran afoul of reality? This is just not right. I think it is important for the victims to have their video voice heard. Consequently, by executive order I will be mandating that officers not be allowed to wear body cameras at all, since any body cameras on ‘the man’ would be inherently racist and unreliable and recording the events from the white perspective, as we have seen with the grand jury evidence. Instead, all black teens or criminals will be required to wear body cameras at all times. I have already contracted with Industrial Light and Magic to handle the editing of all feeds from these cameras, and Harvey Weinstein, Spike Lee and Aaron Sorkin have kindly agreed to oversee the process to ensure that a truthful narrative will always come forward and the problems encountered in Ferguson will be relegated to our authorized history.
All hail me, and long live the narrative.
Random Thoughts: Organic Violent Republic
A modern day apocryphal Marie Antoinette would say, “Let them eat non-GMO organic.”
When you criminalize non-violent actions, people will be killed for non-violent actions.
“We now cut from our coverage of Eric Garner to go to the new top story in white people news: The New Republic masthead.”
Oh, it’s fun to make fun of white people. I hope they’re always around.
Just Being Practical
President Obama announced that the United States will contribute $3 billion to a new international fund intended to help the world’s poorest countries address global warming.
Wouldn’t it be cheaper just to buy them all air conditioners?
