Barack Obama gets cocky on Twitter...


Do you think the Barack Obama on Twitter is really the presidential candidate?

This is what he just said to his (at this moment) 14,648 followers:

BarackObama: In Columbus,MS & wondering how somebody who's in second place is offering the vice presidency to the person who's in first place. Vote Tues!

I guess it really doesn't matter if its going to less than 15,000 people. I follow him and it is doubtful I will vote for him....

Get Sick, Have Insurance, Die Anyways

The next time your hear someone bloviating on the evils of socialized/government/single payer/universal health care, print a copy of this story, wrap it 'round a brick, and throw it at their head.

Doctors at UCLA determined she needed a transplant and sent a letter to CIGNA Healthcare on December 11. The Philadelphia-based health insurance company denied payment for the transplant.

Michael Moore may be frequently obnoxious (and always fat), but with a 65% chance of survival in Paris or London (or Havana), and a 0% chance of survival in California (despite having insurance), where would Mr. Sarkisyan have been better off raising his children?


Greatest health care system in the world, my ass.

Eating sushi makes you more attractive...

Steak vs. Sushi, Bush vs. Kerry...statistically speaking.

According to an article about how Democrats are pinning their hopes on sushi, sushi eaters are more attractive.

They don't show a graph in the article, but I'm assuming they are comparing the amount of sushi restaurants in a city and the attractiveness of the people who live there.

Here's the list of the top 25 cities by human attractiveness: LINK
(only Philly is worse than D.C.)

The original article, which I found on the Freakonomics blog, actually talks about how the ratio of steak to sushi places can be correlated to the blueness or redness of a city.

ACOM tends to be conservative, but he loves sushi. So, clearly it doesn't always work.

The article also highlights a few other fun facts:

  • fattest vs. fittest cities - steak doesn't necessarily make you fatter
  • the most wired cities - no real connection between internet access and the food you eat
  • steak-eating, Republican-voting cities are getting bigger faster than their sushi-loving, blue state brethren
