Obama Sees Mrs. E’s Poster!

By on December 6, 2008 in Uncategorized

A friend of ours happens to know the person who cuts Barack Obama’s hair so she gave them a few of her Obama mosaic posters:


Turns out our president-elect was in for a haircut this week and they showed it to him. It also turns out he liked it a lot! They gave him one and they’re going to have him sign the rest of the posters they have. Mrs. E is trying to figure out how to get back one of the signed copies because, well, that would be just too cool!

Just a reminder that if you would like to order one, go HERE.…

GOP Senator Hangs Up on Barack Obama. Twice!

By on December 4, 2008 in Bwahahahahaha, Politics

No, not because she was being bitch. She thought she was being punk’d.

When a man sounding remarkably like President-elect Barack Obama called a Florida congresswoman Wednesday, she assumed it was a crank call.

So Republican Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen hung up. But, the Miami Herald reports, this was no prank.

“I thought it was one of the radio stations in South Florida playing an incredible, elaborate, terrific prank on me,” Ros-Lehtinen told the newspaper. “They got Fidel Castro to go along. They’ve gotten Hugo Chavez and others to fall for their tricks. I said, ‘Oh, no, I won’t be punked.’”

The conversation lasted about a minute when she cut Obama off, telling him she wasn’t falling for the hoax and that he was a better impersonator than the guy on Saturday Night Live, she said.…

I was using the Internet Archive’s Way-Back Machine to take a look at some of my early blog posts back when I was on a site called Modblog (you Modbloggers are all sighing wistfully right now, admit it.) I had a post about three years ago on January 6th, 2006 that went like this:
GM Proves That It Will NEVER Learn – 1/6/2006
At a time when gas prices are through the roof, we’re fighting a war in an oil-rich, oil-supplying country and when the tide is being turned in the wrong direction on environmental protection advancements, GM has announced yet another ridiculous offering from its line of SUVs.…

The Argument for Keeping Things Tidy

By on December 3, 2008 in Uncategorized

This is very interesting study about the effect of disorderliness on people’s behavior. (H/T Andrew Sullivan).

The gist of the study outlined in the article is that a messy/trashy/disorderly environment encourages negative behaviors. Here are two examples:

His group’s first study was conducted in an alley that is frequently used to park bicycles. As in all of their experiments, the researchers created two conditions: one of order and the other of disorder. In the former, the walls of the alley were freshly painted; in the latter, they were tagged with graffiti (but not elaborately, to avoid the perception that it might be art).…

Okay, This is Creepy

By on December 1, 2008 in Eclectalife, Things That Make You Go Hmmm

I was checking my insurance claim on Progressive Insurance’s website for the car bonfire I had last week. We’ve only had one other claim with them; last year my wife was run off the road by an idiot SUV driver going too fast for the snowy conditions. Here’s the claim history for our household:


Take a look at the dates.

I’m staying home on November 26th for the rest of my life. Don’t even try to argue with me about this.
