Pic proves Barack Obama elbowed James Harden in the head
by William K. Wolfrum 4/24/2012 - 11:13 am

When Metta World Peace elbowed Oklahoma City’s James Harden, fans around the U.S. were aghast. Now, comes the bitter truth – President Barack Obama has met the former Ron Artest and once put his hand on his shoulder.
This should haunt Obama for the rest of his life. And, if not, it’s much more damning than anything Team Andrew Breitbart has come up with against him.

I-5 bridge collapses over Skagit River near Mount Vernon;...
A bridge collapsed over Skagit River tonight near Mount Vernon. This was on Interstate 5 both north bound and south bound, four lanes total. No word yet on how many cars went into the water. This is so sad. How many of these will we have to have before we start financing infrastructure? Most of our bridges are in sad shape.

Utilities for dummies: How they work and why that needs to...There’s very little public discussion of utilities or utility regulations, especially relative to sexier topics like fracking or electric cars. That’s mainly because the subject is excruciatingly boring, a thicket of obscure institutions and processes, opaque jargon, and acronyms out the wazoo. Whether PURPA allows IOUs to customize RFPs for low-carbon QFs is actually quite important, but you, dear reader, don’t know it, because you fell asleep halfway through this sentence. Utilities are shielded by a force field of tedium.It’s is an unfortunate state of affairs, because this is going to be the century of electricity. Everything that can be electrified will be. (This point calls for its own post, but mark my...

"Kids Shoot the Darndest Things"
I'm not sure how many of you have read the Seattle newspaper The Stranger. "Goldy" is a sudonym (I hope I spelled that right) - the writer is pretty hardcore and unrelenting on many progressive issues, gun ownership no exception.

How to Humble a Wing Nut (by former administrator of Obama...
By Cass R. Sunstein, Bloomberg View, May 20, 2013
There is no standard definition of the all-important term “wing nut,” so let’s provide one. A wing nut is someone who has a dogmatic commitment to an extreme political view (“wing”) that is false and at least a bit crazy (“nut”).
A wing nut might believe that George W. Bush is a fascist, that Barack Obama is a socialist, that big banks run the Department of the Treasury or that the U.S. intervened in Libya because of oil.
When wing nuts...

Wait, there are riots in Sweden?
By Elias Groll, Passport @ ForeignPolicy.com, May 22, 2013
[....] The rioting -- the worst social unrest to strike the country in many years -- was sparked by the lethal police shooting of a 69-year-old, knife-wielding man last week in the suburb of Husby, the epicenter of the riots. Roaming gangs of angry youths have since clashed with police and Husby residents have complained of racist treatment by police officers, who they say have used epithets such as "monkey."
What's happening in Husby is clearly a symptom of Sweden's failed effort to integrate its massive immigrant population. Housing segregation is rampant in the country, and Husby is a case study in how immigrant populations have come to dominate Stockholm's outer...

Once again, Wolfman, you're misconstruing the photographic evidence. Obama is clearly making an awkward attempt to retaliate for the Harden hit, by elbowing Artest in the shoulder (his head was clearly out of reach). For one brief moment, World Peace was within Obama's grasp.
Let us acknowledge, in passing, how weirdly cool it is to hear roundball play-by-play as follow "Metta world peace drives, he shoots, oh no, world peace is blocked!"
Or "World Peace elbows Saint Peter!" We just need to convince one of the b-ball players (maybe Harden) to change his name to Saint Peter.
Or, Pau Gasol could become Eurozone Austerity, and then it's Eurozone Austerity called for a flagrant foul, World Peace is writhing on the ground...
I might almost start watching basketball if this were to happen…
It would be so great if he changed his name back, and we could call him the Artest formerly known as World Peace.
We have the dayley line winner--where's Day when we need him?
Ding ding ding.
hahahaahah
