I think it's not a bad thing for Obama to get an object lesson in how sincere the Republican leadership is when they ask for concessions in return for "bipartisan" support.

Yeah, but it's not a lesson he's planning on learning, or any other Democrat for that matter. They are happy to "cave in" to "pressure" from the Republicans so that they can continue to vote in their own interests while giving lip service to voting in ours.

Sorry. I usually try to repress those kinds of comments.

I just saw a message from one of my DE friends on Facebook saying he was going to wait for the snow to melt rather than shovel because it's supposed to be 40 by 2pm. That's also a valid life choice!

Totally valid! I just had to back the car out downhill, and it kind of sucks on snow, and there's usually a car right smack behind my driveway, so... you see my predicament. I'm all about the let the sun take care of it method unless I have to, you know, go somewhere before noon.

Get lit: illuminated clothing lights up the night

Huh. Kind of pretty! I like the orange bikini top thing. And I didn't think I'd be down with fiber optic clothes.

My work here is done.

I was being wrong on the internet. I think the latest imbroglio on LJ gave me the dumb.

This is weird. An historian is claiming that Mengele went to Argentina and continued his experiments, and starting in the sixties, was able to do something to increase the number of twins born in a small town there. [link] The picture is making me really suspect, though -- if this were true, then you'd expect that, when he died or stopped giving out his drugs, the twin rate would have dropped back to normal, but that picture, which looks fairly recent, includes a bunch of little kids.

Unless the drug caused some sort of mutation?

Man, I could stay up half the night creeping myself out over not-dead Nazis.

Is his evidence "Boys from Brazil" whose plot was Hitler Clones ?

I'd think that early sixties would be really early to be able to create a drug that would purposely cause a specific mutation, especially considering that he had to be working without much equipment.

Oh, the Telegraph. Some of our UnAmericans can tell you about the Telegraph.

Couldn't he just keep experimenting with different concoctions and treatments? Radiation here, who knows what there -- it's not like he'd have been interested in the safety or wellbeing of his subjects.
