Without further ado, US Olympic ice skater Johnny Weir performing to "Poker Face" by Lady Gaga. Oh, and he is being targeted by EnviroMarxists for unapologetically wearing fur, so I feel obligated to like him despite how ridiculous this is.

I love Dick Cheney.
He was the only one in the Bush admin who ever fought back against the NYTimesWashPostCNNABCCBSNBCetc.
His job was to say the most reasonable things in such a way as to get those leftist tools to freak out.
So they'd report his words accurately in an article that was basically one, long, "Do you believe he has the nerve to say that?"
No real arguments, just a shrill screech of OUTRAGE!.
Like him saying that Obama should be thanking Bush.
Well, that's just self-evident to everybody who doesn't froth at the mouth over the number "43" or who has to type double "v"s because they removed the "W" from their keyboards.

And notice that Cheney praises Obama for Afghanistan.
Heh.
So Cheny is showing all the class Obama and Biden don't have and making sure Minitru blares it to the world.

That's just full of Win!
Drudge link yeah, but I figured maybe I was the only one to notice it. I mean, how many people click his Center-Top headlined articles?

Heh, some dude in Taiwan made that monstrosity.
You have to love the Beretta logo and "Made in USA".
It's a 6 shot, 12 gauge revolver.

Via some blog I've never heard of, the Munchkin Wrangler.
All I know about him is that he doesn't know how to skin a squirrel (at least, he said it was hard, skinning a squirrel is a breeze if you cut right, you grab at the tail and pull the skin off like a coat).

Someone brought up the Terry Tate, Office Linebacker ads on the Super Bowl open thread at the Head Moron's. Those are awesome. Particularly this one:

The IOC just needs to think outside the box.
It's been above freezing in the mountains where they're having the Winter Olympics  so they're busing and flying in snow.

Why not convince Al Gore to stage a global worming protest? Maybe have a "Reopening" of An Inconvenient Truth at all area theaters at the same time.

If that doesn't scare up a blizzard I don't know what will.

Happy Birthday Ronnie Raygun.
I'm kind of depressed I never watched his speeches. I've never watched any politician's speeches except for a couple Bush ones, like the one after 9/11 and the next SOTU, but that's about it.
Ronnie made speeches like any other politician, but occasionally he made a great one.

This will be short and sweet.  See it.

It isn't artistically great no deep hidden meaning or character torment, or any of that other crap that real movie reviewers like.  It's got guns, a pretty good car chase, some explosions, John Travolta making pop culture references and calling the French Mother-Fuckers who are ungrateful for us saving their asses in not one but two world wars.  All stuff that makes a movie enjoyable, but what it has most of all is No Moral Equivalence. 

The bad guys are just that bad guys.  No big sob story about how their father was tortured and killed by the CIA, no evil industrialists who drove them to it, none of that.  Just some bad guys who need to be taken out by the good guys.  Best of all the good guys are American.

I just have to ask, why does a French guy like Luc Beeson have to make a pro-American movie.  Where the hell is an American director?

As an adopted Louisianan, I have to admit that I'm getting a little swept up in the Saints fandom.  As an avid video gamer, I love random video game news.  And, as a blogger, I feel the need to be pro-football after daring to suggest that we shouldn't get the Monday after the Super Bowl off work or school.

I submit, for your reading pleasure:

If video games can be believed, here's what the news will be when the Super Bowl is finished: "David Thomas caught an 11-yard touchdown pass from Drew Brees late in the fourth quarter, and the New Orleans Saints won their first Super Bowl by beating the Indianapolis Colts 35-31 on Sunday night."

So sayeth "Madden NFL 10," anyway.

The popular Electronic Arts game, which has accurately predicted the Super Bowl champion in five of the last six years, says Brees will be the MVP.

And EA adds that it correctly simulated the outcomes of the AFC and NFC championship games, within three points.

It's depressing as hell (and, frankly, kind of scary) that half of the political class in this country hates a forward-thinking and realistic man like John Bolton as much as they do. The fact that he can hand them (and their standard-bearer, Teh Won) their collective asses like he does here is cold comfort. At least until November...

What warrants close attention is the jarring naïveté of arguing that reducing our capabilities will inhibit nuclear proliferators. That would certainly surprise Tehran and Pyongyang. Obama’s insistence that the evil-doers are “violating international agreements” is also startling, as if this were of equal importance with the proliferation itself.

The premise underlying these assertions may well be found in Obama’s smug earlier comment that we should “put aside the schoolyard taunts about who is tough. . . . Let’s leave behind the fear and division.” By reducing to the level of wayward boys the debates over whether his policies are making us more or less secure, Obama reveals a deep disdain for the decades of strategic thinking that kept America safe during the Cold War and afterwards. Even more pertinent, Obama’s indifference and scorn for real threats are chilling auguries of what the next three years may hold.

Obama has now explicitly rejected the idea that U.S. weakness is provocative, arguing instead that weakness will convince Tehran and Pyongyang to do the opposite of what they have been resolutely doing for decades—vigorously pursuing their nuclear and missile programs. Obama’s first year amply demonstrates that his approach will do nothing even to retard, let alone stop, Iran and North Korea.

The thing about VDH's beatdowns is that they're so very very polite. That makes the bitchslapping hurt that much worse.

Video games are awesome.  Now, I'm an XBox 360 girl myself - although I own a PS3 - and I can guarantee you that a crapton of XBoxes couldn't pull off some of the amazing things that a crapton of PS3s wired together can.  To prove it, the Air Force spent a shitton of money on 1,700 PS3s (yes, that's right, seventeen hundred PS3s), so they could hook'em all together and hopefully simulate what exactly goes on in a human brain.

PS3s are powerful systems, and, while the nearly 2,000 systems that will be linked together aren't going to be quite as smart as some other super-computers, they are (believe it or not) a greener way to go - using less power and somehow knowing to shut off PS3s that aren't "thinking" at that moment in time.

Awesome sauce.

(H/T to Xbrad for reminding me about this story.)

She has a pair of 45s.
And a real gun too!
I saw a similar vid at the Jawas, so I'm stealing their idea but not their link.

Updated with link. Because I'm an idiot. I need to hook a few thousand Playstations to my brain.

Yeah, this explains those "server outages" pal.

FebFast, which works to highlight the dangers of drugs and alcohol, questioned 1006 people in the lead-up to a campaign that encourages Australians to give up drinking during February.

And most believed they had the willpower to meet the challenge.

Three-quarters of those surveyed said they would be able to stay sober for 28 days.

But others totally snubbed the idea, with one in 20 showing just how much they love a drink by revealing they would rather go without sleep for the entire period than not pick up a bottle.

People aged between 20 and 69, from all states and territories, took part in the online survey, conducted over three days in December.

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie. Hic! Hic! Hic! Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Aussie!

The Firefly project is going to study Gamma Ray flashes in the Earth's atmosphere.  (Gee, where could the name have come from, it's a mystery that).  [Obligatory:  GAMMA RAYS WE'RE ALL GONNA DIIIIIIEEE]

From what I understand, which is basically nothing, these are similar to or connected with mega lightening events.  See, this is why settled science is such utter crap.  The entire existence of such events was unknown until the mid-1990's or so.  It turns out this happens far more frequently than expected.  What do we know about these events?  They happen.  That's basically it. 

For that matter, do you realize we still don't understand how lightening forms in the first place?  Really, the concept that we know much of anything about the physical world is shocking in its arrogance.
