So, I hear someone's getting married today. Whoever they are, I wish them the best.
Phoebe Snow passed away this week. You'll remember her for the hit Poetry Man and her work with Paul Simon. That's her singing backup on 50 Ways to Leave Your Lover. She'll get to see her daughter again...
One of the benefits of blogging is that I get to discover all kinds of cool things on this Interwebs thingy. Some of them are just plain silly but some are also informative. Since I found a few of the latter today, I wanted to post them for your perusal.
The first thing my economics professor told the class was this joke. "All of the worlds' economists, if laid end to end, wouldn't reach a conclusion." As I age, I don't think he was kidding, especially when we've been the subject of so much economic experimentation lately that has been so wrong. Obama's Stimulus plan has been a dismal failure by every metric. It's done the opposite of what we were told it would do, and now we're left holding the empty money bag.
Thanks you, Mr. President.
Here's something you maybe should have watched before you signed that bill. Check out this rap video of Keynes and Hayek, Round Two.
Part One is here.
More geeky goodness can be found in this video that explains what dark matter is. As best I can figure, it fills in all the space between an atom's nucleus and the electrons in orbit, something that, for the longest time, was thought to be empty space or a even a vacuum. As yet, we don't have a way to measure this stuff, but give us time.
You might have to readjust your browsers' scale to get this video to show correctly. It's kinda tall.

Superman is renouncing his US citizenship. He was an illegal alien anyway, so, meh.
Via Instapundit, the Politics of Star Trek.
Woman seeks man from Easter encounter. On the off chance that one of you guys might know him, here's your opportunity to play Cupid.
From the You Can't Make This Stuff Up, Animal Division comes this story of a man dressed up as a cow who stole 26 gallons of milk, with a picture of the perp.
Also, a New Jersey town regulates chicken sex.
Why did the alligator cross the road?
Remember Monday's post? Here's more sticky note activism, this time at the grocery store. I suspect we'll start seeing a bit more of this as our economy continues to deteriorate. Somebody's gotta do it.
*Updated* No sooner did I finish this post than I found these instructions on how to construct your own slogan, along with a Sticky Note Rebellion Facebook page. Damn, y'all are working me like a rented mule.
And lastly, here's this week's official video, for all the obvious reasons...
Have a good weekend, y'all. And say a prayer for all my cousins in Alabama who were affected by the tornados. They'll need all the Help they can get. If you can help, please do so.
