"How My Foolproof Scientific System Got Us Onto The Price Is Right"

This past summer, I resolved to engage in a highly scientific process to get myself onto contestants' row, because I was the kid who enjoyed doing lab reports in high school, even though I was totally cool and I kissed girls at dances, for real. To get the necessary raw data, I ritualistically sacrificed every other TV show from my DVR (even Castle!) so I could get a month of Price Is Right episodes Saved Until Manually Erased.

If Liberals Want Obama to be More Liberal, Then Give Him a Liberal Congress

Demading that Obama be more Liberal while one chamber of the Congress is controlled by the Republicans and the other chamber barely has a Democratic majority, and not even a Liberal one, is absurd.

House Republicans have no fear of Obama nor Democrats nor the media nor even the people. They only fear their small constituencies in their individual districts.

So, instead of constantly grousing about Obama, go into these Republican congressional districts and flip them from red to blue.

No One Should Be Allowed to Complain About The Debt and Deficit That

1. That didn't vote for Clinton's deficit reduction plan in 1993.
2. That openly mocked Al Gore for wanting to create a lockbox for Social Security in the 2000 campaign.
3. That voted for Bush's two tax cuts.
4. That voted for Bush's two wars without paying for them.
5. That voted for Bush's prescription drug benefit.
6. That voted for doubling the defense budget in a little over 5 years.
7. That voted to bail out the TBTF banks.

If you did any of these things, you should be disqualified from appearing in the media and decrying the debt and deficit, you are the problem.

J.R.R. Tolkien's Middle Earth Really Could Have Used Better Public Transportation

With high speed rail, the story would have been shortened by 40%.

"Last stop, Mordor. Mordor last stop on this train."
