Congressman Alan Grayson Lists Number Of Dead Per District
I live in her district, actually, though I did not vote for her. She's running for governor of Oklahoma right now. I still won't vote for her; my vote is probably going to Drew Edmondson, if he makes it through the primaries.
Impossible Basketball Shot With Baseball Bat
Fake. A golf ball might be able to slice with enough wind. To do the same, with a basketball would require a category 5 hurricane. But, they did it once. They can do it again, right?
You clearly wasted your childhood not playing baseketball.
A basketball hit with a baseball bat will do that kind of thing almost every time. The real trick is getting it to go straight.
The lower mass to volume ratio and increased drag with increased volume make it much easier to put a high spin on the ball, and easier for the ball to slice or hook.
Also, it's not wind that's primarily responsible for slicing or hooking in golf. Even (especially?) a bad golfer will learn this on a day with calm winds.
Human Dalmatian
Looks like he even does birthday parties. Or at least, that's what I think the title to "Birthday Tiger means.
Alan Grayson on Bill Maher
I say this as an independent, though one strongly in favor of a public option.

Richard Dawkins vs. Bill O'Reilly - 10/9/2009
^ Basically, my point is:
It doesn't matter exactly what the bible tries to teach. If everyone in the entire world lived EXACTLY AND WITHOUT EXCEPTION OR FAULT BY THOSE SAME STANDARDS then everyone would be perfect. I could write my own lengthy book about how to conduct yourself and substitute it for the bible, and this would still hold true.
No. A code fraught with internal contradictions would not lead to a perfect world if followed by everyone; the contradictions would cause inevitable irresolvable conflicts.
Christian ethics is such a code. For example, Christians are told to "love everyone," and that God himself "loves everyone," yet it is a point of Christian doctrine that some will be eternally damned by God himself. Indeed, by Jesus himself, not the Father, as modern pastors seem to have forgotten. Paul himself makes clear this relationship, and it was reflected in early Christian iconography; depictions of Christ as Pantokrator show him in his role as judge. Eternal damnation is incompatible with both love and justice. Hence, mutually contradictory resolutions arise, impossible to decide between except by gut preference.
Such a world could not be perfect.
Breaking: Oklahoma Highway Patrolman Fights with EMT 5/28/09
The trooper Daniel Martin ended up getting 5 days unpaid suspension for his role in the incident. Which, given the Good Old Boy system so prominent in Oklahoma, is probably about all you can expect. They should have taken the guy off patrols, but they didn't.
As a result, he's now under investigation for a second incident this year. Apparently, he beat a man with a nightstick for no reason. I wish I could say that I'm shocked they didn't put him on desk duty, but that's Oklahoma for you.
