Stuff that makes me laugh
I remember once seeing a cartoon in which a woman wearing a “Girl Power” t-shirt is buying a box of Tampax, and the (male) clerk smirking at her, saying, “Some things just never change, do they?”
I had a similar reaction to this one:
You may now clean the coffee off your screens.

Added, from our 99c Store down the road:
I’ve spoken before about how Denmark, surely the most tolerant of countries, has decided to reinforce their traditional Scandi-values on the immigrant population they’ve allowed into their country. Chief among these, of course, is the little 17-acre island where they’re going to be dumping the ingrates (i.e. criminals) amongst said groups:
Remote, not easily reachable or escapable… sounds a little like Alcatraz, dunnit? Which is indeed the title of the linked article.
As I was reading the piece, I couldn’t help thinking that the Danes are onto a good thing — which, inevitably, led me into thinking about a similar solution on this side of the Atlantic.
Granted, our little criminal-immigrant problem is somewhat larger than Denmark’s, but then again, we have Catalina Island — all 75 square miles of it, which could surely be put to better use than it is now.
Considering that California is in large part responsible for a lot of our current immigration problem, I see no reason why the .fedgov shouldn’t ummmm appropriate this real estate, kick out the rich farts and hippies who currently infest the place (most of whom, I suspect, support untrammeled immigration), and dump all the malcontent immigrants (of whatever origin) onto its admittedly-pretty shores.
Then mine the waters around it.

Apparently, the Russians have a new weapon:
The Russian Navy reportedly has a new weapon that can disrupt the eyesight of targets as well as make them hallucinate and vomit.
Oh yeah? Well, we have a couple of those too:
…except that common decency (and probably the Geneva Convention) would prevent us from using them — even against Russians.
