Idiots or Liars?

You decide. These two are why we need a better educational system. Zombies don't necessarily have to be undead..

SuperDeluxe Hilarious Fail!

Thanks, Fark! Meth-heads are funny!

The logical end for liberal drug policies..

It's going horribly for the Netherlands, I see.. Happy freakin' Opposite Day! GD libruls (Or "Social Progressives") and their tendency to think of solutions, rather than to react by jailing everyone.. You know, if weed were legal, there'd be more people working, off the tax burden, paying taxes, and paying taxes on marijuana. But we couldn't have that, could we?

An honest mistake, I'm sure..

Should he recuse himself from any future tax discussions? Regarding his Senate aspirations: Sure he can win, but can he win outside Moralton? The link to the Seventh District won't work, for some reason, so here's the cut and paste..

Missouri's 7th congressional district consists of Southwest Missouri. The district includes Springfield, the home of Missouri State University (formerly known as Southwest Missouri State University), and the popular tourist destination city of Branson. Located along the borders of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Northwest Arkansas, the district takes in a huge chunk of the Bible Belt, making it the most Republican district in the state with a strong socially conservative trend. George W. Bush defeated John Kerry 67% to 32% in Election 2004.
The district is currently represented by Roy Blunt (R-Springfield) who will be vacating the seat in 2010 to seek the GOP nomination for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Republican Kit Bond.

Can you start to see how this is the political equivalent of a Parallel Universe?

The Steelman/Blunt primary should be sponsored by the UFC.. We have a year of this hilarity folks. Strap in! Check the date for the last link.

This one's been brewin' for awhile, now..

Suddenly, Conservatives LIKE Conspiracy Theories..

when they're the ones being persecuted.. Check out the updates. Tweaking the argument, here and there..

Did we forget the Ultra Rich trend Republican? Big Chrysler dealers are Ultra Rich(250K or more), unlike the people who make Chryslers. Remember when the Republicans wanted the entire industry to die to spite the Unions? What was that, six months ago?

Oh yeah, here are the numbers. I'm a conspiracy buff, but this one seems so easy to disprove, unlike, say, the Nephilim..

Doomsday Approaches: Aqua makes a comeback

Good God; who told them it was all right to record more "music?" Just when I'd gotten that cartoony screeching hypno-tune out of my head.. Scroll down to the comments. It seems like their comeback will be a short-lived one..

It's 5 minutes to midnight..

But it feels a little closer than that.. Here's the Overview of the project, and here's the timeline. I wouldn't be surprised if they don't adjust forward sometime this summer or fall, what with all the insanity..

Flashback: What kind of fuel again?

George over at Urban Survival resurrected this goodie from 2004. What kind of train explosion kills or injures 3000 people? With all the nuclear whatzamahoogle surrounding North Korea, this deserves a second look..

Somebody please send that Martian a Swiffer!

What is cleaning the solar panels for the Mars rover Opportunity? Or.. who? Another possibility here..

R.I.P. Jay Bennett

Jay Bennett, a seven-year member of mega-awesome band Wilco, passed away Sunday. Bennett's career floundered after leaving the band, and he never repeated his earlier success as a solo act. Bennett had been in declining health for a couple years, and the website Gawker wonders if a contributing factor to his death was his lack of health insurance. Within eight years, Bennett went from his creative apex (Wilco's 2001 album Yankee Hotel Foxtrot), to not being able to afford health insurance.

Jay Bennett, gone too soon at age 45..

And then there are some interesting UFO sightings here.. and here. Article on first sighting here, and discussion of both here.

On a related subject, here's some new Planet X footage. Lots of detractors in the comments, but I've never seen a sunset like this..

"It begins Memorial Day"

Ladies and Gentlemen, may I present to you a Conspiracy Theory Prediction that came true! Down to the hour! Read the thread. It's four pages long, at the moment, but check it out. After the initial prediction, things don't get good until the fourth post on page two when it becomes apparent as to what the poster was referring..

Official Sources here, here, and here. And, around this time, two earthquakes were recorded in North Korea(5.0 and 5.1), and one offshore near the Ryukyu Islands(4.9). And.. close to the same time, three magnitude 5+ quakes hit Greece(5.0). Bulgaria's capital Sofia(5.2), and Macedonia(5.4). Reference from Focus(Although their magnitude readings have been upgraded to 5.4 for the three events). Oh yeah, NK also successfully tested a short range missile, too.

I think the two or three Korea quakes were "artificial," and the Balkan quakes were real. I don't know if these events are connected, but if they are, what, and where are the missing pieces? I keep thinking the close proximity of all these occurances to be.. strange.
This could be an interesting week..

Real life lessons in empathy, Part one..

It's different when it's you, eh, Mancow? Now bring me the one you call Hannity..
