Shorts

1. Limitless is a movie where the protagonist achieves "four digit IQ" and decides the field best suited for his intelligence is playing the stock market. Huh?

2. On 9/11/2011 President Obama said, "These past 10 years have shown that America does not give in to fear." I suppose he meant the "sit in your foxhole immobilized until you die of starvation" sort of fear and not the sort of fear that causes you to:
  • invade Iraq for fear of WMD's
  • invade Afghanistan 
  • form the Department of Homeland Security
  • bomb and shoot civilians by mistake
  • bomb and shoot our own soldiers by mistake 
  • change the way you react to white substances in the mail
  • change the way you board and handle baggage on airplanes
  • set up Guantanamo Bay detention camp and suspend civil rights
  • torture suspected terrorists 
  • mobilize thousands of policemen to check for car bombs this past week end
  • send F-16's to escort commercial flights where people go to the bathroom too often
