Quote of the Day: Wind Turbine Edition

This quote from Tam is downright golden:

Likewise, wind turbines are not meant to actually be an efficient way to supply the power grid, rather they’re prayer wheels for New Age iBuddhists, their whirring blades drawing white guilt from the atmosphere and pumping it safely underground. This is why they put them out in farm fields in the country and not, say, off Martha’s Vinyard or out on the back nine, in view of the clubhouse: What good is a shrine if you don’t have to make a pilgrimage to get to it?

Ladies and Gentlemen, I Present the New President of the World Bank

The new president of the World Thieves Guild Bank was announced last week. Please put your hands together for Jim Young Kim (skip to 2:05 of the video for maximum hilarity):

I really hope he wears that outfit whenever he’s performing his presidential duties.

I Don’t Think Driving Under the Influence Applies Here

I’m not even sure what to make of this story:

Authorities in western New York say they’ve charged four young Amish adults with illegal possession of alcohol after their buggy collided with a police car responding to a report of a drinking party under way.

The Chautauqua County Sheriff’s Office tells media outlets that the crash occurred around 7:15 Sunday in the rural town of Sherman, near the Pennsylvania border in New York’s southwest corner.

First of all you can’t say a horse drawn buggy crashing into a car happens every day, I would think the horse would refuse to run into an object. Also:

Police say several other buggies fled the scene.

That’s just funny.

Oderus Urungus’s Presidential Endorsement

While I don’t give two shits about presidential endorsements I have to hand it to Oderus Urungus, he based his endorsement on his beliefs, not on who is or isn’t “electable”:

Do not vote for them, gather in mobs and attack them in their homes — drag them into the streets and impale them upon a gigantic wheel of over-sized knives, and this goes for Obama too!

I’d say he should watch out for the Department of Motherland Homeland Security (DHS) but I’m doubting they have what it takes to abduct Oderus.

Metalhead Arts and Crafts

I have to say when it comes to strikes I have all of them against me. Being a gun owner makes me unpopular in many circles, being a voluntaryist ostracizes me from most political circles, and being a metalhead leads to shit like this being funny to me (warning, not approved for the religiously sensitive):

The fact that I’m allowed out in public at all is a small miracle.

Don’t Say Stacey

Tennessee has a bill moving through their legislature being referred to as the “Don’t say gay” bill:

The House Education subcommittee approved the so-called “Don’t say gay” bill on a voice vote Wednesday, renewing a debate that roiled the legislature last spring over whether elementary and middle schools should be allowed to initiate discussions about homosexuality.

Now this abridgement to free speech simply isn’t enough. To attack the truth threat of homosexuality one man, district selectman from the 14th district, has introduced a bill to make the act of giving children androgynous names illegal. He makes a very convincing case:

When his statistics go to five decimal places you know they’re accurate!
