EVERYTHING WRONG WITH WASHINGTON in one short video.



The good news is that Ms. Norton, a delegate from the District of Columbia, is a non-voting member of Congress. The bad news, if you live in the District, is that she might try parking next to you the next time you’re at Trader Joe’s.

And now you understand why (a) I'm against D.C. statehood and (b) whenever I go into D.C., I take the train.

UPDATE from Instapundit: "'The result is a car that is not parked as much as abandoned.' It’s a pretty good metaphor for government in the age of Obama."

DARK MATTER: Here be 'space dragons'.

HAS IT BEEN THAT LONG? Ammo Grrrll's one-year anniversary. May she keep going forever.

"COMPARING HER [HILLARY] to Nixon is probably unfair -- to Nixon."

Nixon was competent.

THE SECOND COMING OF THE NAKED EMPEROR: This naked emperor is also malevolent.

I guess I'm not the only one (if you interpret 'PC forces' broadly).

BETTER BATTERY ANODES can be made from packing peanuts.

Packing peanuts are excellent at protecting fragile objects but terrible for the environment. Recycling them is not cost-effective, so most end up in landfills, where they could sit around for a hundred years or more.

But the pesky little pieces of foam could be turned into anodes for lithium-ion batteries, Purdue University researchers say. The chemical engineers have found a simple, inexpensive way to convert packing peanuts into carbon nanoparticles and microsheets that perform better than the graphite anodes used in today’s batteries.

Interesting idea.

YOU MIGHT BE SEXIST if you call Hillary Clinton 'polarizing.' Or 'secretive.' Or anything else bad.

And guess who gets to define what are 'sexist codewords'? Of course....

RANDOM THOUGHTS about this week's news: Bill and Hillary are to scandals what the Energizer bunny is to batteries. They just keep going and going....

WIN: Kansas set to allow concealed carry without permit. That's what happens when progressive activists get too active....

NASA DETAILS PLANS to pluck a rock from an asteroid and bring it back to Earth orbit.

DID YOU KNOW Obama just took new executive action on immigration? Just another way to get 'future Democrats' illegally into the U.S.

THERE'S GOLD in them thar ... feces?

THE (UNINTENDED?) CONSEQUENCE OF FEMINISM: teach women not to rape. And you thought only men could be pedophiles?

ACOUSTIC CLOAKING DEVICE could protect soldiers from blast effects. It's not science fiction any more.

THE HOUSE OF DEMOCRATS: a modest proposal to improve the federal government.

I'm not sure whether this is a result of too much vodka, or too little ... but that said, I like the concept.

TOM COTTON, a tragic hero?

THE SURVIVOR CLASS: Coming to a job near you. I've seen it first-hand at the office recently; it's another reason why it's good to be (mostly) retired.
