To sum up: stop being Democrat-lites and get back to conservative ideals. Yeah, it’ll never happen.

I have to say this comes as a surprise. I expected fair and just distribution from the junta. It goes hand-in-hand with the fair and just elections they have.

Prime Minister Theinn Sein is evidently Myanmarian for “Bagdad Bob”:

The Associated Press reported that Prime Minister Samak Sundaravej of Thailand arrived for a meeting with Prime Minister Thein Sein of Myanmar on Wednesday, a week and a half after the cyclone devastated the delta region.Sundaravej told The AP that the government had given its “guarantee” that there were no disease outbreaks and that no survivors were starving.

Donald Duck, he’s not a real duck!

Self-tracheotomy. That’s hardcore.

Cool pictures of the Chilean volcano eruption.

I think I would excel at this, assuming I can have a book or two, maybe a computer. If I didn’t already have a job and life and stuff like that.

COBRA!

For your sensitive information and Star Trek fanfic you don’t want anyone to see. I’m cross using in Windows and Linux with a few files on a thumb drive and it works quite nicely.

How secure is it really? I have no idea, but it’ll keep your friends and relatives out of your stuff. Unless they work for the NSA or something possibly….

Actions affect thoughts. Who knew?

Normally, it’s thought that it’s a psychological state that leads to a body movement. The study suggests it goes both ways, that a body movement also can trigger a psychological state.

Frankly it’s the only Mexican themed image I have. But doesn’t a nice burrito with some guacamole and chips sound good? Yes, it’s a shame you can’t get that in Idaho. And congrats on beating the French, Mexico.

It’s a heartwarming tale and all but when you’re a .153 hitter and hit your only homerun in 4 years and then you tear your knee, maybe you should consider another sport.

It’s a giant duh from National Review.

But with nobody looking at the big economic picture, we are running a real risk of drifting into a ’70s-style policy mix of high taxes, loose money, a weak dollar — and stagflation.
