I will never, ever refer to Dianne Feinstein as “DiFi.”

You have my word.

I will not be posting for remainder of the week, but before I go:

Very very interesting. The conspiracy is undeniable. Fact: there are no photos of the wreckage. Fact: Connell has been found alive in Saudi Arabia.

(That may have been in poor taste, but this is a blog.)

I think it would help Boise State if they actually played a couple of decent opponents during the regular season. At least then, the annual complaints about their snubbing would have some merit.

Eat Mor Chikin. And sheesh, who knew cheese was so bad? I guess we should start a “more potato chips, fewer cheeseburgers” campaign.

Hey, clean coal technology does exist. It’s flowing through Tennessee. Merry Christmas, Chattannooga.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all. I’ll be driving to Wyoming tomorrow, hopefully not in a blizzard. I’m prepared for the worst, though…no visibility, cars in ditches, communities destroyed, roving bands of cannibals, etc.

I really prefer Sokar, but what the hell, I’ll be a Baal worshiper.

This post brought to you by a decade of geeky television.

I think this is a great idea.

Also, this is amusing. “If programming languages were cars” is still better, but this one’s good, too:

Lisp would be Zen Buddhism – There is no syntax, there is no centralization of dogma, there are no deities to worship. The entire universe is there at your reach – if only you are enlightened enough to grasp it. Some say that it’s not a language at all; others say that it’s the only language that makes sense.

…

Perl would be Voodoo – An incomprehensible series of arcane incantations that involve the blood of goats and permanently corrupt your soul. Often used when your boss requires you to do an urgent task at 21:00 on friday night.

…

Ruby would be Neo-Paganism – A mixture of different languages and ideas that was beaten together into something that might be identified as a language. Its adherents are growing fast, and although most people look at them suspiciously, they are mostly well-meaning people with no intention of harming anyone.

Python would be Humanism: It’s simple, unrestrictive, and all you need to follow it is common sense. Many of the followers claim to feel relieved from all the burden imposed by other languages, and that they have rediscovered the joy of programming. There are some who say that it is a form of pseudo-code.

Shorter K-Lo:

Blagojevich pursued pro-choice policies, so it’s no surprise he’s corrupt.

Yes, it all makes sense now.

This is the logical result of taking Pascal’s wager seriously.

Of course, Pascal’s wager isn’t really aimed at non-believers, it is, like most apologetic arguments, aimed at keeping Christians from straying. In this case, by scaring them into thinking being an atheist is too risky.

Biden says Obama isn’t going to turn the U.S. into Sweden.

Everyone put away your lederhosen, we’ll have to wait for the next election.

I would just like to inform you that of those who have ordered Domino’s pizza recently and completed their inexplicable election survey, 44% support Obama and 34% support McCain. This is roughly in line with Obama’s leads in the national tracking polls.

So, while some liberals may like upscale, elitist, arugula-using fine dining establishments, some of us enjoy crappy pizza.

I think we need to petition to include this survey in Nate Silver’s model. I mean, can it really be worse than Zogby Interactive?

I hate you.

Sincerely,
Jeff
