Overnight Open Thread (11-7-2013)Study: If You Own a Gun, You're a Racist There's so much stupid in this 'scientific' study published in PLOS ONE that I don't even know where to start. Here's just one nugget in the tard sandwich: Racism and guns go together. As far as investigating the dark side of the Major Issues, there's a critically important concept that students of journalism are rarely taught. It's easy to find any number of targets to write about in capitalist societies with an open press. But totalitarian governments are journalistic black holes. Journalists can tickle their self-righteous neurocircuitry every day (and many do), by exposing easy-to-find faults in democratic societies. But beyond their event horizon is the bigger story that often remains untold as it occurs-the horrific deaths of millions in totalitarian regimes like the former Soviet Union, Communist China, North Korea and, yes, Saddam Hussein's Iraq. That's why, when Robert Conquest was asked whether he wanted to retitle his updated The Great Terror, about the Soviet purges, his answer was: Yes, how about I Told You So, You Fucking Fools? The FDA Moves to Ban Trans-Fats Luckily they're exempting the small amounts of naturally occurring trans-fats or else we'd all become vegans by government fiat. "Citing growing health concerns about trans fat, the FDA today proposed measures to eliminate it from the U.S. food supply. While trans fat can still be used, the new measures now place the burden on food processors to justify the inclusion of it in a food product as experts have maintained that there is no safe level of consumption and no health benefits. Since 2006, the amount of trans far eaten by the average American has declined from 4.5g per serving to less than 1g as restaurants and the food industry have reduced their use of it. There will be a 60 day public comment period for the new proposal."
Oh Noes: Mexican Coke is Moving to High-Fructose Corn Syrup Executives at Coca-Cola in Latin America decided to make the switch after the Mexican government approved a tax of one peso on every liter of soda sold. But not to worry - they'll still make a cane sugar version for export to the US. As long as the FDA allows it. These People Are Why You Had to Lose Your Health Plan Why do you hate struggling artists? Elisabeth and Mark Horst, artists in Albuquerque who earn $24,000 a year between them, qualified for a zero-premium plan. Struggling artists with advanced degrees who want you to subsidize their health care. Kirsten Powers Takes the Exit to Damascus We'll see if she keeps going. The Intertunnel loves stuff like this. They treat the discovery of such work online as akin to unsealing Tutankhamen's tomb. While I've never done it myself, I've seen it done lots of times. Landscapers for tony houses in Massachusetts routinely split granite in this fashion to make outdoor steps while I was working alongside them doing something else. Feathers and wedges. Of course, there's one gigantic bit of handwaving involved with the video. Someone's got to drill those holes, and drilling holes in granite is no picnic. Most use an air hammer. The wedge and feather work is the easy part, if more fun to film. At $72m, India's mission to Mars is less expensive than many NY/London apartments. Or most movies made in Hollywood. Duck Dynasty Producers: A Little Less Jesus Please or It Might Upset the Muslims When the producers of Duck Dynasty asked the stars to stop saying "in Jesus' name" during prayers because it might offend Muslims, Phil Robertson stood his ground and gave an eye-opening response. How To Blow $14.8 Billion Dollars in 12 Easy Steps First get at least $14.8 billion dollars. Then join the Brunei royal family. Prince Jefri Bolkiah is the younger brother of the Sultan of Brunei, and he is believed to have blown $14.8 billion on a series of follies including grotesque mansions; enormous collections of sportscars; haremsful of exotic prostitutes kept on standby at home and abroad; fleets of jets; musesumsworth of gaudy gems; private football tutelage from NFL greats for his pampered son; private concerts by Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston (the former in a purpose-built, single-use stadium); and more (and more). Celebrity Couples Who Have Gone the Distance And in Hollywood sometimes the distance is a mere 8 years. The Top 25 Babes of Sci-Fi Cinema Only #3?!? Yahoo group. That is all. The group thingy. And the middle class. And my Twitter spew. And don't forget El Grupo del Yahoo.
