Ace and his cohorts are all over Obamacare this week. If you aren’t over there every day, you really should be.

Bumped and Updated
“The Congressional Budget Office has confirmed that there is currently no official cost estimate. Yet House Democrats are touting to the press – and spinning for partisan gain – numbers that have not been released and are impossible to confirm.

Rumors: Two House Democrats Already Promised Administration Positions?
Maybe Tom “Don’t Screw With This” Coburn had some specific folks in mind when he said House Democrats who walk the plank for ObamaCare shouldn’t expect cushy landings in the Executive Branch.
Also, keep and eye on Gabriel Malor’s posts over there, he’s their resident legal geek and has really been on top of the count of who’s voting how.

Laying a Little Pipe Down…
Scouring the blogs, as I am wont to do, I found a particularly delish story at Lemur King’s site. Seems the Brits have a new way of dealing with stressed workers: sniff bottled fresh air. According to the National Trust, each jar can relieve stress for ten minutes. Frankly, I think they are better off stepping outside for free and breathing air instead of running the risk of getting a fine for not properly disposing of the jar. But that’s neither here nor there (for now). What really caught my eye was the top story in the Weird section:
Man’s Penis Freed From Metal Pipe With Industrial Grinder
Tell me the title alone doesn’t hurt. Docs at the local hospital had to call in the fire department to give the bloke a bit of relief, until he saw what the firemen were going to use.
The firefighters used the four-and-a-half-inch industrial metal grinder to cut the pipe from around the anaesthetised man’s penis.
This is a pic of an industrial grinder at work:
I can feel y’all flinching all the way to Texas.

I watched this again last night. I’d not actually seen it since it was new and had really forgotten what an absolutely kickass movie this is.
Frodo was one creepy goddamn bastard
Neil Stevens is wrong.
From Redstate.com:
It doesn’t even cross their minds that we might ask Google not to build the database to begin with, because it’s a basic law of databases that they can always be put to another purpose.
I can’t argue with the sentiment. Google creeps me out more every day. The problem is that Redstate.com uses Google Analytics. They effectively tell Google every time you visit their site.
When this is pointed out by commenters, the response is .. well,
You are spreading outright falsehoods through your repeated assertion that the data we’re talking about is from httpd logs.
And combined with your radical pacifist ranting before, I’ve had it with you.
Hit the contact form if you feel you’ve been wronged.
and …
You can’t be this stupid

I’d rather everyone get along, but I’ll settle for everyone united in hating me for being a jerky moderator.
Sorry, Neil, you are the moron here. Here’s the thing: Webserver logs tell me an awful lot about what goes on here. Once you leave my site I’ve no idea where you go or what you do. Now, if everyone hands this data over to a single entity (Google in this case), then they can plot your course across the internet. Enough logs and they can tell, when and where you work, where you live, given enough data they could tell you what time you take lunch.
The reason server logs are not dangerous is NOT because there’s not enough information in them, it is because the information is split up amongst thousands of different places.
In the interest of full disclosure, I used Google Analytics here for a few days. It made me feel dirty so I removed it. I use Awstats.

I couldn’t bear to leave the anti-gun craziness at the top of the page, so…
Where are we going ?
… and why are we in this handbasket ?
Drop the Weapon! Drop the Weapon! *BANG*
From Gothamist:
Just how little tolerance is zero tolerance? A Staten Island fourth-grader was reprimanded and almost suspended yesterday when the principal spotted him playing with a LEGO policeman and a two-inch-long toy gun during lunch, the Advance reports.
Under the city’s no-tolerance policy regarding guns in schools, PS 52 Principal Evelyn Matroianni brought 9-year-old Patrick Timoney to her office and called his mother to say the boy might be suspended for carrying the miniature toy gun to school, pending the approval of the Department of Education’s security administrator. When contacted, the administrator reportedly said the toy should be confiscated and returned to the boy’s parents, however no other punishment would be necessary.
How much would you pay for this kinda crazy ? Wait, don’t answer yet, there’s more …
From the NYDailyNews:
A Michigan kindergartener’s make-believe gun – which he created with just his fingers – got him suspended, the Grand Rapids Press reported.
Mason Jammer, 6, who attends Ionia’s Jefferson Elementary School, pointed his finger-gun at a fellow student Wednesday and got kicked out of school till Friday.
School officials said they had given Mason numerous warnings over several months, and his gun play created discomfort for other kids.
Now how much would you pay ? If you order this insanity in the next 5 minutes we’ll throw in this beautiful piece of shit:
a bill introduced in the New York Legislature that, if passed, would ban the use of salt in restaurant cooking.
“No owner or operator of a restaurant in this state shall use salt in any form in the preparation of any food for consumption by customers of such restaurant, including food prepared to be consumed on the premises of such restaurant or off of such premises,” the bill, A. 10129 , states in part.
Sometimes its hard to even joke about this shit.
