Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.

It’d Be a Democrat First
The State Department said it has no record of Hillary Clinton receiving IT security training while she was Secretary of State.
She has her own email server. Maybe she was home-schooled.
Sphere of Death!

On Sunday, extreme motorsports fans attracted to the Park, where there was an international stunt show “Flying cars”. Although the program of the event significantly corrected the rain, stunt succeeded in capturing three world records.
I’m not sure how impressive this actually is, but I like it mostly for the look on the driver’s face after he exits the sphere. His expression is of someone who – having done the impossible – has been rewarded with being pardoned from the life sentence he was serving in a Siberian gulag.
At least, that’s how it plays out in my head…
It Just Got Colder
A Russian fighter jet came within 10 feet of a US Air Force reconnaissance aircraft in international airspace over the Black Sea last month.
My prediction: Putin’ll be banging his shoe on a podium before the year is out.

Bang for Your Buck
A recent poll shows that Americans estimate that Washington wastes 51 cents of every dollar it spends.
Not true. Those funds are invested in important things like money pits, boondoggles, and the very silkiest of sow’s ear purses.
Surprise!

You’d think this would be tl;dw, but the creator of this video has impressive editing skills – he knows how to have the video skip to something else once you get the idea of what’s going on.
I’d call this a textbook study for making videos of essentially repetitive tasks.
PS: I think it’s awesome that he starts by making his own stone ax.
Fixing the Problem
In North Carolina, a woman frustrated with long wait times in a hospital emergency room held a lighter to a sprinkler, dousing the entire ER in water.
And yet still a better approach to improving medical services than Obamacare.

So Useful!
Iran’s senior negotiator said that any nuclear agreement reached with Western powers will “only be temporary and not binding in the long term”.
That’s hard to believe. It’ll actually be good in the short term?
It’s Less Analogy Than Description
It’s Just What the Founding Fathers Dreamed Of
During a recent speech, President Obama cited Obamacare as an example of “the rugged individualism that defines America”.
Uh huh… because eagles soar highest in cages.
