Chile Heads are Sexy!

So says Yasser A. Mahmmoud of the University of Aarhus in Denmark:

In muscle cells the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) Ca2+-ATPase (SERCA) couples the free energy of ATP hydrolysis to pump Ca2+ ions from the cytoplasm to the SR lumen. In addition, SERCA plays a key role in non-shivering thermogenesis through uncoupled reactions, where ATP hydrolysis takes place without active Ca2+ translocation. Capsaicin (CPS) is a naturally occurring vanilloid, the consumption of which is linked with increased metabolic rate and core body temperature. Here we document the stimulation by CPS of the Ca2+-dependent ATP hydrolysis by SERCA without effects on Ca2+ accumulation.…

Pure, Unadulterated Politics – NOW?

By on September 30, 2008 in Uncategorized

You do have to admit, if our financial systems weren’t in complete meltdown, THIS would be funny as fuck:

The Republican National Committee’s new advertisement critical of the the Wall Street “bailout” was produced and sent to television stations in key states before the package failed, officials at two stations said.

“Wall Street Squanders our money. And Washington is forced to bail them out with — you guessed it — our money. Can it get any worse?” asks the ad’s narrator, as the words “BAILOUT WITH OUR MONEY” cross the screen. (The answer: Obama’s plans would make it worse.)

The ad, however, seems to assume that it can safely attack a successful plan.…

Found Comedy

By on September 30, 2008 in Bwahahahahaha

There I was, minding my own business, reading a pretty awesome editorial in the Detroit Free Press excoriating Sarah Palin when I came across a comment in the comments section that nearly made me shoot coffee out of my nose. To start with, the “genius” who typed is calls themself “ItsAPrivledge”. I do so love when someone misspells things in their own screen name.

But that was just a foreshadowing of the “brilliance” to come. To whit:

Rochelle – you are the one that needs to get out of the business. While I understand that yours is an opinion column, please at least try not be to bias.…

PANORAMIC IMAGES – Obama Rally in Detroit!

By on September 29, 2008 in Obama

Yesterday, I posted still images from the Obama-Biden rally in Detroit this past Sunday. These images were taken and assembled by my wife, Mrs. E.

As promised, below you will find two interactive panoramic images from that event. While still images capture the moment, in my opinion nothing captures the immensity of these events like full spherical panoramic images.

The image below is fully interactive and goes all the way up, all the way down and all the way around. Use your mouse to drag in the direction you want to spin the image (including up into the sky and down to the ground.) You can also use the buttons to do these actions.…

Pelosi the Powerful

By on September 29, 2008 in Politics

Sticks and stones make break some bones but words can scuttle an economic bail out and send the stock market tumbling. At least, according to House Minority Douchebag, John Boehner.

Democrats were lined up to deliver 120 votes. They delivered 140. Republicans, under the wise sheparding of John “Mighty Mouse” McCain, were responsible for the rest, about 100. They delivered 65.

Why? Because Representative Pelosi gave a speech that apparently drove them all away.

Republicans blamed Pelosi’s scathing speech near the close of the debate — which attacked Bush’s economic policies and a “right-wing ideology of anything goes, no supervision, no discipline, no regulation” of financial markets — for the vote’s failure.…

Semi-Truck Barbie Doll

By on September 29, 2008 in Politics

Andrew Sullivan just wrote this:

Palin is the Barbie doll attached to the front of a truck.

I couldn’t possibly agree more. McCain, et. al. have put her on the ticket for two reasons. First to appeal to uber-right conservative fundamentalist Christians. Second, more importantly and related to the first, to add a little sexy fun to the ticket.

Because, God knows, John McCain is neither fun nor sexy. Say what you want about his “sense of humor”, when he tells a joke, most often he’s the only one laughing and it’s with the creepy, wheezy laugh of his the creeps most people out.…
