Just a little bit about a few different things tonight.
Congratulations to Terry McAuliffe, I hope you turn out to be a halfway decent governor. Time will tell on that but at least you’re better than that other bozo. Speaking of that, two percentage points is not a very impressive win, especially against a guy whose main platform was that kinky sex should be illegal. If Tuesday’s elections proved anything, they proved the Tea Party is not dead.
There was an article up on the Hissy Fit Post about how marijuana causes acne. Actually, the article was a little more balanced than that, it included the point of view that it probably doesn’t actually cause acne.
But still, this is beyond ridiculous. The hysterical anti-marijuana people have lost their argument that marijuana is more addictive than heroin, that one puff will turn you into a wild eyed lunatic, that it will turn your brain to mush and give your children birth defects, so now they are falling back on acne.
There were a couple of other news articles today that really surprised me. I’m not sure what significance it has to the politics of the Middle East today, but forensic examiners have determined that Yasser Arafat was murdered. I had no idea. I didn’t even have a conspiracy theory on that one. The man was 75 years old and nobody had a real logical reason for wanting him dead, except for hating him, so I’d just assumed he died of natural causes.
It makes me wonder who else was murdered.
The other article that really set me back was that scientists have discovered a new body part. Seriously. They are discovering new planets all the time around suns that are trillions of miles away, and they didn’t know what all the parts of the body were? Anyway, it’s a little ligament somewhere around your knee, and I’m sure this information will prove extremely valuable to the makers of artificial knees.
Oh, and Rand Paul’s “leave me the hell alone” defense is just absurd. If you want the press to leave you alone all you have to do is retire, go home, and make no public pronouncements forevermore. They will soon forget about you.
That’s it for me tonight. See you tomorrow.
