Describing the Green Party to a T
In Illinois the Green Party Candidate for Governor, Rich Whitney, had his name misspelled on voting machines. It reads Rich Whitey.
I know that there are “people of color” in the Green Party. The late Ed Boyd, an African American, ran for governor in Maryland in 2006, but received no party support, because they were focusing on (equally doomed) the Senate candidacy of rich whitey Kevin Zeese.
Ed Boyd was kind of pissed, but that really is how the Green Party rolls. It’s the comfortable pretending to afflict the comfortable.
I Haven’t Posted, Because I Have Nothing to Say
I really haven’t had much to add to the rescue of the Chilean minors miners.
Well, thanks to Nick Mueller,I now have this bit of artwork to share.
My congratulations to the minors and the rescue team.
The mine owners, however, can go Cheney themselves.

And he was really pretty gentle about the whole thing.
It will still leave a mark, but compared to what he did to Jim Cramer, or what he does to Eliot Spitzer and Kathleen Parker’s new show at the end of this clip in under 10 seconds, it’s really gentle.
I Can Now Retire as a Blogger
All I have to do is to outsource my political analysis to Jon Stewart, and use this article by Martin Robbins for science:
This is a news website article about a scientific paper
In the standfirst I will make a fairly obvious pun about the subject matter before posing an inane question I have no intention of really answering: is this an important scientific finding?
In this paragraph I will state the main claim that the research makes, making appropriate use of “scare quotes” to ensure that it’s clear that I have no opinion about this research whatsoever.
In this paragraph I will briefly (because no paragraph should be more than one line) state which existing scientific ideas this new research “challenges”.
………
This paragraph contained useful information or context, but was removed by the sub-editor to keep the article within an arbitrary word limit in case the internet runs out of space.The final paragraph will state that some part of the result is still ambiguous, and that research will continue.

The Journal (not the actual paper, we don’t link to papers).
The University Home Page (finding the researcher’s page would be too much effort).
I think that there is a Dilbert cartoon in which Dogbert sells a “forever” newspaper, but this is better written, and the article is better drawn as well, or at least the, “picture has been optimised by SEO experts to appeal to our key target demographics,” is.

Stewart on the Republican Pledge
Why do I even bother blogging, when all I need to do is point you to Jon Stewart monologues:
Just to get this straight: Two years ago America broke up with you because you had badly mistreated her. And so you disappear, do some soul searching, get your head together. And you come back rapping on our door, hat in hand, and you say: ‘Baby, I know you left me, but if we get back together, I pledge to you, I promise you, I will still try to f%$#k your sister. Every chance I get. It’s who I am.’
Your Friday of Muppets
This is one of my favorite musical bits from the old Muppet Show:
This Episode of Sesame Street Was Brought To You By the Letter “T” and the Number 2
In circumstances George Stephanopoulos probably never imagined when he gave up a hands-on role in politics to become a broadcaster, two fuzzy, nonhuman members of the “Sesame Street” cast joined him Friday morning on “Good Morning America,” along with that PBS children’s show’s executive producer, Carol-Lynn Parente, to discuss the recent decision at “Sesame Street” to pull a music video featuring the pop singer Katy Perry.
On Thursday, Sesame Workshop, which produces “Sesame Street,” said it would not broadcast a segment planned for the show’s coming season in which Ms. Perry performs a version of her song “Hot ‘N Cold” with Elmo and is seen wearing a low-cut dress.
In her “Good Morning America” interview, Ms. Parente told Mr. Stephanopoulos she was surprised at the volume of disapproving responses the video had generated when it was posted on YouTube earlier in the week.
It appears that some parents are up in arms about Katy Perry’s breasts, because her dress shows a bit of cleavage.
It’s actually fine to my mind, but I’m thinking that if the parents are this freaked out over this, they are going to be raising some sexually repressed kids who will likely be very bad in bed.
Video follows, though the comments at Youtube are prize:

You know, If I knew that I was going to meet Leonard Nimoy, I’d wear the jacket, and keep it zipped up, until just before I said goodbye.
Mr. Nimoy would probably hate that.
