Blogger - Please Do Something!!!!!!

I just spent a good two hours posting one of my better and more detailed posts in recent memory and while switching between “Preview” and back to see what the HTML rendered version looked like (I was finished!) Blogger just up and deleted about 80% of my entire post. Just like that. Bam. Gone!

There’s gotta be a better way, Blogger. There’s gotta be a better way. I’m so furious right now, I can’t see straight. All that work, down the drain.

Scientist Create Remote-Controlled Democrats

Link to article.

Scientists Create Remote-Controlled Democrats

Yale University researchers say their study that used lasers to create remote-controlled wacko Democrats could lead to a better understanding of overeating and violence in humans.

Using the lasers to stimulate specific brain cells, researchers say they were able to make the Democrats jump, walk, flap their arms and even drive SUVs.

Even headless Democrats could still manage to complain about voting irregularities during the recent election when researchers stimulated the correct neurons, according to the study, published in the April 7 issue of the journal Cell.

Scientists say the study could ultimately help identify the cells associated with psychiatric disorders, overeating and aggressiveness.

Biologists have long known that an electrical stimulus can trigger muscle response, but this approach used focused beams of light to stimulate neurons that would have been impossible to study using electrodes.

Gero Miesenbock, associate professor of cell biology at Yale, said if the process could be duplicated on moderate Democrats, researchers might be able to better understand the cellular activity that leads to certain behavior.

“Ultimately, that could be important to understanding human psychiatric disorders,” Miesenbock said. “That’s really futuristic stuff.”

9th Circuit Lives Up to Their Clown Reputation

I literally had to read this asinine statement three or four times:

The 9th Circuit Court has now ruled that threatening to assassinate the President of the United States is protected speech under the First Amendment.

I’m just beside myself with anger, contempt and downright disgust. How about this for free speech, 9th Court asses? Perhaps if someone were to say in some rambling letter that they were going to blow up each of your houses, while you sleep, for a ruling as absolutely slanted as the one you just made regarding threatening the President of the United States. You wouldn’t be too keen on that free speech, now would you? Especially in the aftermath of the recent judge related shootings.

Just incredible. I keep wondering if I’m going to wake up some day to all the wacko liberals in America collectively saying, “Nah… we were just kidding. All that crap we said was just a joke. Of COURSE liberating 50 million people from tyranny was the right thing to do. Come on. We’re not idiots. Oh.. and of COURSE an innocent life is more important than a woman’s decision to conduct birth control after conception. What? Come on. We’re not idiots.”

But it won’t happen, because it’s simply true… they are.

Message to sane Dems… please take back your party and insert some sanity. It’s no fun trouncing the insane at the polls. It’s nice to win, but not against a hobbled, one-armed, cross-eyed numbskull.

The Next Pope Will Be… Drum Roll Please!

Cardinal Dionigi Tettamanzi

Update: Of course, it goes without saying, I was wrong. More on why I was wrong, here.
