– Gabriel Malor is all doom and gloom.
– Bill Quick channels the infamous Lazamataz after he read a “study” saying cell phones are deadlier than smoking or asbestos.
– Jim Lynch has a caption contest going on Barack Obama’s “bowling”, while doubleplusundead has the gory details on how it is like his chances in Pennsylvania.
– Owen goes into the Howard Dean memory hole.
– William Smith, the Liberty Brian and CDR Salamander are back in the saddle again.
– Conservative Belle notes the nannies are no longer satisfied with seizing real guns.
– Headless Blogger has the next no-drill zone for the envirowhackos; North Dakota.
– Jessica McBride has the salient question in former Milwaukee police chief Nannette Hegarty’s discrimination claim.
– Carol Platt Liebau has two very different reasons why the Goracle isn’t stepping in to save the Dems from themselves. I hope it’s the latter reason; there’s nothing quite like making the two largest constituencies mad.
I love the idea that a supercollider will create a black hole or a piece of ‘strangematter’ that will destroy the earth. I was reading that over the weekend and laughing. Technically, the possibility that a black hole will spontaneously generate is nearly non-existant, but the idea that one can form from the supercollider is laughable. There may be a 30,000 times greater chance of forming a black hole from the supercollider than just random generation, but 10,000 times 1 x 10^-120 is still 1 x 10^-116, a chance that so infinitesimally small there’s no real difference in numbers there.
