Canadian Liberals: "We are desperate"

Finding themselves in the rare position of running neck-and-neck with the Conservatives, Canada's Liberals launch an all-out negative ad blitz in order to turn the tide for the June 28 elections.

"We are desperate," they admit in defense of their actions, which some believe might further alienate the electorate against them.

The cool thing about watching Canadian politics is the fact that none of this matters one whit to the world at large. Or frankly to Canada at large. It's sort of like watching a wildcard game between two marginal teams that just barely squeaked into the playoffs and have no chance of moving deeper into the tournament.

It's kinda enjoyable to watch, because the stakes are so wonderfully low and the game so deliciously meaningless.

But seriously: Go Harper.

I'm a fellow canuck and honestly i just can't bring myself to vote for Liberal again. I look around and none of the other parties are any better. What's a girl to do?

What's a girl to do? Vote Conservative for Christ sakes.

The solution is obvious: we need to move a bunch of conservatives up to Canada to vote in a proper, sensible government, so that we can avert the impending disaster should Canada become an influential source of liberal ... wait ... did I say "influential"?

Schmoll: 53% of New Jersey likely voters say their neighbors are voting for Ciattarelli, while 47% say the cheater/grifter Mikie Sherrill
The "who do you think your neighbors are voting for" question is designed to avoid the Shy Tory problem, wherein conservative people lie to schmollsters because they don't want to go on record with a likely left-winger telling them who they're really voting for. So instead the question is who do you think your neighbors are voting for, so people can talk about who they themselves support without actually having to admit it to a left-wing rando stranger recording their answers on the phone.

Interesting football history: How the forward pass was created in response to the nineteen -- 19! -- people killed playing football in 1905 alone
The original rules of football did not allow forward passes. The ball was primarily advanced by running, with blockers forming lines with interlocked arms and just smashing into the similarly-interlocked defensive lines. It was basically Greek hoplite spear formations but with a semi-spherical ball. As calls to ban the sport entirely grew, some looked for ways to de-emphasize mass charges as the primary means of advancing the ball, and some specifically championed allowing a passer to throw the ball forward.

Atari to release former competitor Intellivision with 45 games for $149
I always thought Intellivision was kinda lame (to the extent a cutting edge videogame box can be lame).

Pitfall was a really good game. I don't know if it was available on Intellivision. Update: It was. But I don't know if it's included in the new unit.
