LA Times: No signs of water yet from Mars lander. I’m not sure why this is news, the lander has only gotten down about three inches or so, and they weren’t expecting to hit any water ice until they got about seven inches down or so. Let’s say that tomorrow they announced that they dug up a fish skeleton and there was undeniable proof of life outside of Earth, how would that chance your world view?
HotAir: At least two House Democrats are calling for the US to nationalize the oil industry. You know, like a dictator would when they are jealous of anyone having more money than them. Here’s my question, since they want to get in the oil business, is there any problem that the government has taken on that they have actually solved?
Sun-Crimes: In Chicago the police are cracking down at the crosswalks. I think this is a great idea for two reasons: a) I get very annoyed when drivers don’t stop for pedestrians. b) Here in Atlanta they are going to hit speeders with a surcharge to help pay for gas for police cars who have to chase them down. Here’s a great way for them to rack up some fines, but since they are in an intersection anyway, they won’t have to use any gas to do it. Clearly this just shows how much smarter they are in Chicago. Even the government types.
AP: An 18-year-old in Indiana robbed money from a lemonade stand. What kind of a pathetic low-life would rob a lemonade stand. Sure there’s some kind of “there’s more then just corn in Indiana” joke to be made here, but I just can’t seem to get the bat off of my shoulder.
