Amazing Scientific Discovery!

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete. Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2-6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places. In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass. When catalysed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

See here for the complete story.

The War on Drugs . . .

. . . is a big government boondoggle. This is how the war on drugs ought to be conducted (a good, private, posse):

Church and State

I wonder whether this will finally sink in with folks: separation of church and state (rightly understood) is consequent to the influence of (Catholic) Christianity.

Politically Incorrect Politics

The ice-rink thought-experiment is hilarious:


Maybe they should do nothing:


Waiting for Washington to help, aka
"Its people that made America great":



Regulating running for office, just as the founders intended:


Helping pay the rich.
Note the representative of the people who says,
"I would say to you, you don't want to push it":



Immense power to do harm,
very little power to do good:
