The Bismarck-Palin Connection (Updated)
In the 19th century, Bismarck famously quipped: "Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made."
For the 21st century, I think Palin would revise this to: "Laws are like Thanksgiving turkey, it is better not to televise them being made. And it's even better to not televise a discussion of law making while also 'making' a turkey."
See here for context.

In related news:
- With Holder apparently as AG, it looks like an even better year to give shotguns for Christmas (fun for Dave). I don't think they make shotgun-sized stockings though.
- And likely a shotgun for us as well, though that's mostly due to the need to potentially kill varmits (and / or bear) on the land we'll be building. Construction starts right after Thanksgiving.
- I'm thinking of posting pictures of the process throughout. If you're curious, the plans are online here. We're doing Plan C.
Update
My God! Have the politicians no shame? First Palin gives an interview while another man drains the blood from turkeys and now it turns out that Obama, blessed be his name, gave an interview in which he tore the flesh off the bone of another bird. With his own teeth, no less!
See here for the damning evidence.
While I'm thinking about it, does anyone else have a craving for turkey and chicken wings, or is it just me?

Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics
I always thought that 73% of all statistics were made up on the spot.
But who knew the phenomenon extended to science journals too?
