Ok, so who's the tougher chic?

Sarah Connor or Alice from Resident Evil?

Personally, I think Linda Hamilton in T2 is about as tough as nails, gritty and fierce as you can get. Almost Jason Bourne, but with more despiration.

Alice, on the other hand, has been enhanced. So this might not be a fair comparison, but still, Alice is pretty frickin bad ass.

Your thoughts?

Is this really a good idea?

Let’s say, for example, that you were in a long term relationship. For like, oh, I don’t know, about 8 years. But, as time when on, you started getting really tired of your partner’s shit. We all know how this goes, right?

So, you find yourself a new guy/girl/shemale/it (whatever) and initially, everything is groovy. But, as time marches on, cracks begin to show, and you start thinking that maybe it’s time a change. You start dropping hints to the new guy/girl/shemale/it (whatever) that their shit does stink now and unless they clean it up, you’re going to give them their walking papers.

Now, what do you think should be the approach of the new guy/girl/shemale/it (whatever) in this situation? Should they a) take responsibility for their actions and feed you a line of crap of they are going to listen to you and everything will get better, or; b) use this opportunity to blame your previous partner for all the issues in your relationship.

The Democrats, it appears, have chosen B as their campaign strategy for this fall.

Sounds like it’s time for Dr. Phil to do an intervention with the DNC.

Settled Science

If you talk with people who are “in the know”, they tell you that global warming is settled science. All set, all done,wrapped up in a pretty bow, thank you very much. Don’t ask any questions, because any one asking probing questions is obviously a “denier”, a modern day heretic that needs to be coddled, or beaten like a seal cub until bloody & dead.

Settled science?

So “they” (in this case some astronomers who didn't’t get the memo that they were supposed to know everything that is supposed to be known at this point), discovered a new, super massive star (R136a1) that is way, way, way ,bigger than they ever thought was possible. Oops. So much for that theory.

But, lucky for all of us, all the really smart dudes work in climate science and they’ve already figured out all that is to know. Maybe, if climate science is all plumbed out, these out of work climate scientists should go help those stupid astronomers who haven’t figured everything out yet.

Better yet, maybe they should go help all those dumb doctors who can’t seem to figure out cancer, Parkinson's, aging and all those other bothersome medical issues that we can’t seem to escape.

I mean, come on. If you can figure out something as complex as global climate and make really accurate long term forecasts that we’re all supposed to buy into, how hard can it be to cure cancer?

Settled science my ass.
