| Things are getting more complicated |
On one hand, the Culture Wars are escalating: In Tennessee, a man who hates liberals (and is pushed over the edge by not getting food stamps, which is as liberal a program as one can imagine) goes into a church which accepts homosexuals with the intention of killing as many people as possible. Another man attempts to assassinate the Arkansas Democratic party chair. Quasi-Christians (people who are very loud about being Christian and have a habit of undermining their faith through action) are actually praying for rain on Obama's speech in Denver.
On the other, the lines are blurring: There are liberals with guns, log cabin Republicans, and Dan Savage tells liberal dads to stop being "such a liberal puss[ies]" that are more worried about being politically correct than what is right, when confronted with bigots.
I had hoped that the battles of the Boomer generation were going to fizzle out, but it looks like they'll go out with a bang. At least this presidential election will not be 100% referendum about Vietnam.Labels: Conservatives, culture war, gays, guns, liberals, politics |

| Evil Doomsday Device #1: Strong Gun |
Here's an idea for any evil scientists out there. Invent a device that can negate the nuclear Strong Force. If they ever come up with anti-gravity, I figure it's an easy step to come up with anti-strong or anti-light (anti-electromagnetic) forces.
Of course, if you were to negate the Strong Force, any protons in the area will fly apart, effectively creating a (fission) nuclear explosion in proportion to the number of atoms in the area.
Most bombs get a small percentage of the pound-or-so of really heavy atoms to actually split (which is what causes the boom), so if you managed to get a 100% fission, my guess is that you'd get something like Nagasaki if you targeted an object too small to see with a microscope. You could probably erase L.A. if you eliminated the Strong Force in one of the nails in the Hollywood sign.
But I'm guessing, really, so I'm going to make some calls to some physicist friends to find out...Labels: doomsday, evil, guns, joke |

| Insert Punchline Here |
It's just too easy: Miller and Busch beers are making camouflage cans aimed at hunters.
Anybody see something wrong with getting more beer into the hands of the people with guns? Rachel also notes that they might not be able to find their beer after the first 6-pack...Labels: alcohol, guns, idiots, joke |
