I feel compelled to point out that you really really shouldn't do this. No matter how UTTERLY AWESOME it would be. Don't do it.

I was going to go on a rant about something, but I just don't have it in me right now. This will make me feel better.

So, in a move that would make Saint Charles of the Perpetual Ponytail happy, the producers of Creation, a story about Charles Darwin, are whining that they can't get US distribution because of all the mouth breathing bitter clinging creationists in the states.

Scalzi puts them some knowledge. In so doing, he pitches the following idea for Darwin:  The Revengination:

I just saw a Disney ad over at the Head Moron's.

If that isn't a sign of the apocalypse, I don't know what is.

Oh now there's a Valtrex one.  Pfffft Disney I can see.  But Valtrex?  Like the Moron Horde has to worry about that problem.*




*for the record, I'm glad our Ewoky Overlord isn't going to starve in the streets so I'm not upset about the ads.  But Disney?  Come on, that's hilarious.

Holy Shit!


Mark3611 was as enamored of Mega shark vs giant octopus as the rest of us but he saw a few plot holes I didn't and decided to make the special effects more "special".
Watch for cameo appearances by Samuel L. Jackson and Billy Mays!

This came from Jay Tea of Wizbang infame via the comments at Meryl Yourish.

Of course, I as a red blooded male, should. And this, besides roads and the military, is a waste of taxpayer money of which I heartily approve. Meanwhile, some wet blanket in Sweden isn't as hip to this idea.

Although the market catering for women's sexuality is increasing, it is still limited {and I support expansion, and not just in my pants-ed}. There can be no doubt that the porn industry is dominated by men. It is therefore not the idea of developing the industry in favour of women that is upsetting – this is something that many women would welcome {as do I-ed} - it is the fact that it is happening with our tax money under the cloak of feminism {hey, tax money has been wasted for a snail dart, so why not waste it on something awesome for once?-ed}. By labeling lesbian sex as feminist, it also contributes to the prejudiced notion that the equality debate is all about excluding men and privileging women {wasn't it always?-ed}.

In my opinion, one of the main reasons the porn industry is male-dominated and not particularly attractive to women is that ‘regular’ porn movies often feature a great deal of sex between women {obviously, you have not been searching hard enough-ed}. Being heterosexual, it is not very exciting to watch {speak for yourself, toots. I as a heterosexual love seeing naked women making out-ed.}. Oddly, it seems to have the opposite effect on men {duh! Somebody needs to be smacked with the clue bat-ed}. Lesbian porn is far from the solution to creating a porn market that appeals to more women {who cares, so long as my boner is happy?-ed}. While it might very well broaden the market for people with different sexual orientations {heh. Broaden-ed}, it should not trade under the banner of feminism {I could handle that trade if it meant more lesbian pr0N for me-ed}.

Engberg's aim -- to make mainstream porn less mainstream, and complex rather than flat -- is definitely not something that the state should be paying for, regardless of whether it is lesbian or feminist porn. If the state was to sponsor alternative genres in every field just to create more options, the costs would soon be astronomical. Just because some of us don’t enjoy mainstream music like Britney Spears, which we maybe find flat and lacking in nuance, it doesn’t mean we should expect the state to fund underground metal music {yeah, but this is lesian pr0N, so we need to make some exceptions-ed}. In the same way, the fact that Mia Engberg doesn't like mainstream porn does not mean the state should sponsor feminist or lesbian porn {who cares? Mia Engberg should just shut up and let me masturbate to lesbian pr)N-ed}.

It’s not so long since Sweden’s Feminist Initiative received 400,000 kronor from the state to fund its educational programme. Soon afterwards, Engberg was given 500,000 for feminist porn {I need to get some of that money by filming lesbian pr0N in Sweden, I guess-ed}. You don’t have to be a genius to work out that feminism has earned a special status and has somehow been deemed deserving of people's tax money in order to fund everything from seminars to pornography {and I wholeheartedly support that status-ed}.

It’s saddening to see that respect for taxpayers’ money is almost non-existent {Wow. Concerned about taxpayers? Obviously a racist tea-bagger-ed}. While everyone is of course in favour of equality, there is no consensus that it can be achieved through feminism, or feminist pornography for that matter {if lesbian pr0N advances feminism, so be it-ed}. The fact that there is a woman wanting to make alternative porn for women, maybe even only involving women {your point being? I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome that clause is-ed}, does not make it any more deserving from a gender equity standpoint. Men do not get the same kind of sponsorship, and ‘male’ pornography is denied the status of art seemingly merited by ‘female’ porn {and I appreciate art, just so you know-ed}. Surely the question of whether you prefer the naked body of a man or a woman is very much a subjective matter {and if I can see 10 women for every guy, I'll take that trade-ed.}.

It's always cool when people take "Never Again" seriously.

Fearing jihadists will attack synagogues during Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, a group of badass rabbis has developed a program to turn your average shul-goer into a lean, mean fighting machine.

The group, which calls itself the International Security Coalition of Clergy, was founded by Rabbi Gary Moscowitz, who boasts a black belt in karate, teaches martial arts and was an NYPD cop for nine years.
He's teaching others basic and advanced fighting moves -- how to take down a terrorist by the neck, how to use a table as cover from gunfire and how to execute a nifty running somersault while drawing a gun -- that he says can be used by Jews if they're attacked by terrorists during prayer.

The Shao Lin might be losing their monopoly.

This is a post by Chad that I thought needed to be seen by anyone interested in America's energy future.  -MP

Not precisely on target but here is something I put together last year when everyone was blabbering about not being able to drill our way out of the (then) oil crisis:

ANWR Exploration
House Republicans: 91% Supported
House Democrats: 86% Opposed

Barrels - 4.3 billion

Coal-to-Liquid
House Republicans: 97% Supported
House Democrats: 78% Opposed

Barrels - 4,768 billion

Oil Shale Exploration
House Republicans: 90% Supported
House Democrats: 86% Opposed

Barrels - 3,300 billion

Outer Continental Shelf (OCS) Exploration
House Republicans: 81% Supported
House Democrats: 83% Opposed

Barrels - 8.5 billion

Bakken Field

Barrels - 4 billion

Current US reserves (not including Bakken Field)

Barrels - 21 billion

Total Potential US Reserves

Barrels - 8105.8 billion

Current US consumption

Barrels - 21 million / day

Reserves in years (US Consumption only)

1057

Saudi Reserves (claimed)

Barrels - 260 billion

Reserves in years (US Consumption only)

39.2

Combined Reserves World Reserves not including the US (Claimed)

Barrels - 1115.7 billion

Reserves in years (US Consumption only)

168.6
so if we exploited all the known sources in the US we have enough oil / oil analouges to last over 1000 years especially since in Feb. the USGS upped their estimate of oils shale reserves by 50% and I didn't include the Bakken field in Montana because no one really has a handle on how big it is.  One estimate is 400,000,000,000 barrels or 1.5 times Saudi Arabia's reserves.

I'm not a fan of the postmortem political stuff that inflames both sides and doesn't really accomplish anything other than giving the other side something to use to justify their own bad behavior. Demure Jen brings new class to the art of the appropriate obituary by writing a beautiful post detailing exactly why Ted Kennedy was a douche.

Apparently the principles involved in cloaking objects from radar and visible light are fully applicable to more mundane waves like ... well, waves... in the ocean or Earthquakes.

The new calculations suggest that cloaking objects from the smaller end of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as light, remains extremely difficult. But they still leave open the easier possibility of protecting oil rigs from incoming tsunami waves, or using vibrations to cancel incoming seismic waves from earthquakes. Such waves are much larger than those of visible light, which means that scientists would have an easier time creating cloaking devices for the tasks at hand.
