Wow.

What a spatchcock.*

* This is a reference to the previous thread where people are playing Balderdash, a game of making up semi-plausible definitions for obscure words. "Spatchcock" was offered as one. I think it means "in urology, a widening and flattening of the penis."

Is this something? I think it's something. It was released in 2007 but it sounds like it could have been released on the Weird Science soundtrack album. There's a little Thomas Dolby in here, a little Revenge of the Nerds talent show, and I think a little bassline from Howard Faltermeyer's "The Theme From Fletch."

The sign says it all.

A great piece by Steyn to start the weekend.

The same bureaucracy that booked Samira Ibrahim for an audience with the first lady and Anwar al-Awlaki to host prayers at the Capitol now assures you that itÂ’s entirely capable of determining who needs to be zapped by a drone between the sea bass and the tiramisu at AhmedÂ’s Bar and Grill.

You know, there was a tactic I used to use as a child when I was caught doing something, which sometimes worked. This tactic is called "Just Lying Like a Child."

But then I became a man and was told that lying was childish and cowardly and that real man ought to tell the truth.

This idea does not seem fashionable among our Lie Like a Child press nor among our Lie Like a Child government.

Derp-derp dropped by to befoul some threads, as is his wont.

In case you missed this, derp is a seriously brain-derped derp.

(I just want derp to know his derpiness will be featured every time he gets a hold of the computers at the Homelessness Health Intervention waiting room.)

Emphasis on the "maybe" -- an update suggests maybe the bill's not completely dead. But it does appear to be sick. From the Denver Post:

Four Democratic sources close to the matter said the billÂ’s sponsor, Rollie Heath, D-Boulder, plans to kill the bill and it wonÂ’t be brought up for debate on the Senate floor.

House Bill 1226 already cleared the House anda Senate committee earlier this week amid controversial comments made by a House Democrat, and one in the Senate, about rape on college campuses.

Republicans have hammered Democrats over the rape remarks, jeopardizing a bill that already was in trouble. Two Democratic senators had openly said they were against it, Republicans needed only one more Democratic to kill the measure.

In the update, the bill's sponsor, Heath, says the previous report was just "rumors." However, he says he's not sure he's doing the right thing (!!!) in pushing the bill, and isn't sure what he'll do with it.

More from Reynolds, who links the Caller quoting a Democratic proponent of the bill making an honest, but very curious, admission:

“I make no assertion that this bill will either increase or reduce violent crime. That is not the premise of the bill.”

Wait, then why are you proposing it? You're proposing to restrict citizen freedom without even the pretext of a "Greater Good" argument? Why?

Oh, right: Because you're simply attempting to make your own parochial tribe preferences the mandatory law of the land.
