Overnight Open Thread (4-1-2012)No April's Fools for you! Obama Campaign Demands Romney's Tax Returns From the '80s Sure the IRS can only go back a mere 7 years, but this is the Light Worker and he will audit your life. President Obama's re-election campaign is calling on Mitt Romney to release his tax returns dating back to the 1980s, according to The Wall Street Journal. Meanwhile Doug Ross points out that Obama has yet to release any of the following:
Of course given his job performance over the last 4 years and other revelations I think we can all pretty much fill in the blanks on these.
James Q. Wilson, America's preeminent social scientist, has noted that until relatively recently, "politics was about only a few things; today, it is about nearly everything." Until the 1930s, or perhaps the 1960s, there was a "legitimacy barrier" to federal government activism: When new policies were proposed, the first debate was about whether the federal government could properly act at all on the subject. Today, there is no barrier to the promiscuous multiplication of programmes, because no programme is really new. Rather, it is an extension, modification or enlargement of something government is already doing. And then you have this: When the desirable jobs are spending other peoples' money, reporting on spending other peoples' money and lobbying to spend other peoples' money, then you know that the society is fucked. Progressives Unclear On How Phones Work Pro-tip: When you prank call the Koch brothers, don't forget to hang up when your trolling is done. Tiger 131 Is Back On The Prowl After a two year restoration German WWII Tiger tank 131 is now operational again - making it the only working Tiger tank in the world. Superior to Allied tanks of the time 1347 Tiger tanks were produced. By comparison the US manufactured over 58,000 Sherman tanks. NHTSA: You're Driving All Wrong For decades, the standard instruction was that drivers should hold the steering wheel at the 10 and 2 positions, as envisioned on a clock. This, it turns out, is no longer the case. In fact, driving that way could cost you your arms or hands in particularly gruesome ways if your airbag deploys. Instead AAA, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and many driving instructors now say you should grip the wheel at 9 and 3 o'clock. A few go even further, suggesting 8 and 4 to avoid the airbag mechanism as much as possible, but what formal research has been published on the varieties of hand positions suggests that this may lessen your control of the car. Personally I've always found 9:30 and 2:30 to be more comfortable. Soledad O'Brian's Ratings Crater Now approaching video podcast ranges: Executives at CNN must be in shock at the catastrophic implosion of their morning lineup, as Starting Point With Soledad O'Brien (7-9 a.m. weekdays) recorded the cable network's lowest ratings for that time slot in more than a decade. Fewer than 100,000 adults 25-54 tuned in to O'Brien's program on an average day, according to the latest quarterly Nielsen numbers. Quips Jim Treacher: Every day, @Soledad_OBrien's ratings are worse than the last. That means every time you see her, it's the worst day of her life Beer Goggles: How Do They Fucking Work? It's all about the symmetry - and drunkenness: Scientists have long known symmetry to be tied to attraction, with a face in which one half mirrors the other seen as an unspoken sign of good genes and good health. While others argue that it's really just a case of Beer Standards: But other research has disputed the phenomenon, with a British concluding that men find women no prettier after drinking. This week she takes out the gomi.
