Education has come to a new low. We are now teaching SOCIALISM !!!1!1!! to children via (the devil’s ken) algebra… of all things. From the Raw Story:
“But even worse is the way some textbooks are pushing the liberal agenda,” the Fox News host explained, pointing to an algebra worksheet that Scholastic says gives students “[i]nsight into the distributive property as it applies to multiplication.”
“Distribute the wealth!” Bolling exclaimed, reading the worksheet. “Distribute the wealth with the lovely rich girl with a big ole bag of money, handing some money out.”
Co-host Kimberly Guilfoyle explained that the algebra worksheet had put her on “high alert” for the liberal agenda in her 6-year-old son’s curriculum.”
Distributive Property we are watching you!!!
“Everybody has anecdotal evidence of this,” co-host Greg Gutfeld agreed. “I think the only way leftism can survive is through indoctrination because its number one adversary is reality. So you got to get them young and it’s perfect for kids. Paul Krugman’s logic is child’s play: Share your stuff… A lot of this comes from the teachers. They get their news from The Huffington Post and their antiperspirant from a health food store. This is the way they live.”
If you have a couple minutes (and want to break your brain) I suggest you go over to Raw Story and watch the video of the Fuax News idiots doing what they do best…
The idea that with a little more god in school tragedy is avoidable really burns my buns. Adding more falsehood to peoples lives is never a good thing. It saddens me to see people talking so unabashedly about how their magic dude in the sky could fix things if only people believed in him. These are not your run of the mill godbots, but elected officials. These are the people who we are supposed to trust with our welfare; espousing beliefs equivalent to saying unicorns and dragons exist. Mind boggling.
The NRA is a nasty piece of work, with fetishistic cult-like tendencies that, when not actively promoting a misinterpretation of the American Second Amendment, are engaging in the audaciously vulgar misinterpretation of what self-defence is. No regular citizen needs a gun capable of firing five bullets a second. Lastly consider the following, owning a gun means that you have an instrument granting you the power of near instantaneously killing another human being and that is the real purpose of guns – killing people.
Liberal viewer intersperses reactions from the republicans and the democrats on the recent school shootings and it would appear that other than the ‘more god’/’arm everyone’ mumbo-jumbo the Right has nothing to offer.
Cats are smuggling cell phones into prisons. 
These shifty felines are the next wave of getting your cargo from A to B, no questions asked.
“Guards thought there was something suspicious about a little white cat slipping through a prison gate in northeastern Brazil.
A prison official says that when they caught the animal, they found a cellphone, drills, small saws and other contraband taped to its body.
Alagoas state prisons spokeswoman Cinthya Moreno says that the cat was caught New Year’s Eve at the medium-security prison in the city of Arapiraca.”
I wish my cats were this crafty, but rather than smuggling, they seem to specialize in eating my plants and barfing on my rug.
Many thanks to the CBC and Paolo Pietropaolo for bringing the Signature Series to life. The mixing in this edition is particularly good, listen for the transition between Beethoven and Sibelius.

Ah, the models we learn in school, just to get our head in the game. Here is a quick one minute physics video illustrating that most things are lot more complex than what we initially thought.

It doesn’t get made any simpler than this. Yes these are US stats, but do you think it’s really all that different here in Canada? Ya, neither did I.

Not being able to add anything more to the raw power of this, I figured I’d add some tips on how to stop rape. They go as follows:
1. Dudes: Don’t rape
2. Seriously DON’T RAPE
3. Don’t joke about rape.
4. Don’t threaten rape.
5. Don’t defend rapists.
6. If your bro tells you he raped someone, report him to the police.
7. Don’t be friends with rapists. Make sure you tell the rapist that you won’t be friends with him because he is a rapist.
8. Teach your children not to rape.
9. Teach your friends not to rape.
10. DON’T RAPE
I think that about covers it.
I wonder who we’ll blame after the next super hurricane or the next drought? I’m curious as to what will be the explanation for those that come after us be when we’re done here on Earth. Let it be shown here in 2012 that we’re still talking about if climate change is a serious topic or not.
Short term planning and thinking will be the end of us. Honest.
