The future of relationships: GPS Dating? I can't wait 'til the first murder case from that idea hits the press.
The Irony of Jesse Jackson's SUV.
If I had known the police force was this much fun, I would've looked into becoming a cop! That guy has a pretty terrible mustache though, and from that you can see that it's clear he could never cut it as an officer of the law. Seems like the other cops that arrested them watched it for a while, considering they reported seeing THREE different sexual acts followed by a threesome of... fondling.
Hey look, a midget! The shortest one in the world, at that.
Prof. William Jacobson gives us a look at the world's most... unexpected Toyota Pious. Seriously, I thought Prius' came from the factory with the Kerry/Edwards '04 and Obama/Biden '08 stickers attached... this car is some anomaly.
The other day when that Discovery hostage situation went down, I wrote about the different reactions from left and right. Glenn Reynolds wrote an article in the Washington Examiner which I believe to be written as satire on who is responsible for the hostage situation. I'm not 100% sure it's satire, as Glenn said he wasn't going to tell and "spoil the fun" but my first thought was, "this doesn't sound like Glenn, I can't believe he's really writing this," and then my second thought was, "oh, he got me, it's satire." When Patterico responded similarly to myself, Glenn took notice and put a poll on his site asking his readers what they thought (is it satire? serious? joking on the square?). Readers opinions were pretty split; I had to look up "joking on the square" to know what it meant, but it's basically when you're joking, but what you're saying is also kinda true. I hope it's satire, because that's exactly the type of article a lefty would write in response to violence from a right-wing nutjob.
Jammie Wearing Fool rips Code Pink (not like it's hard, but still) and reminds us all that many involved in the anti-war movement between 2000-2008 were simply playing partisan politics for the democrats they support. They flat out say it. At least Cindy Sheehan has beliefs and principles, nutty as they may be.
Unbelievable: The Palestinians are to the right of the Obama Administration on the matter of Iran. If only our president had the stones to use that kind of language against a regime which is undeniably our enemy. The same Iran that allegedly is paying an 1000 dollar bounty on American soldiers' lives. The same Iran that is alleged to have orchestrated the Hamas attacks on Israeli settlers to derail peace talks.
Looks like the Obama administration did as thorough a check of it's new carpet as the media did of Obama during the campaign. Talk about tone deaf, this is 2 years after the first time somebody corrected the same mistake. Even the WaPo couldn't ignore this one.
God responds to Stephen Hawking.
A certain Viking named Reed wishes he was born 800,000 years ago. The food was good and the women were sexy, and most importantly, clothing was optional ;). If only they had the medical technology of the Nubians, they'd be the perfect society. 2010 AD: Medical Marijuana. 250 AD: Medical Beer. Seems like they were way ahead of the times.
While on the topic of ancient technology that was way before it's time, here's a picture of an ancient virus protection device.
The Washington Examiner asks, "Why is the White House so obsessed with sex?" Maybe they'd have a clue if they weren't a bunch of virgins over there... Oh, wait, they mean "With unemployment at 9.6%, why is the White House obsessed with gender." Good question that we all know the answer to.
End the war on drugs. Yes, this is a different link.
Jonah Goldberg has a great roundup of links (including the one I linked to about 800,000 year old society). A lot of good stuff in there, but too many for me to link 'em all when he's got it all neatly arranged for you there.
Some Navy news from the entertainment industry. "The one thing the Navy can never afford to ever do is allow that battle to be screwed up in any way by Hollywood." Don't let Hollywood film it then.
Here's a cool look at what screen technology might look like in 2014. I love the future.
That video at the end was sweet. And the Hawking cartoon was pretty funny, too. But the war on drugs is good, who wants to be Amsterdam?
