Sad news this morning. Porn star Stormy Daniels has decided not to run against David Vitter for US Senate in Louisiana. As the reason, she cited her inability to compete with Vitter’s $5 million “war chest.” Too bad. You’d think she could raise the money somehow.
One of these two guys is stoned. Can you tell which?
Oh well, off to work.
Are you sure only ONE is stoned?
The show last night was disappointing. Only about an hour long, a taping for a radio show, 3 of the 5 participants were pretty disappointing. The moderator was particularly bad rendering a panel of 4 funny guys rather unentertaining. Maron and Eugene Mirman were great given what time they got. Marc’s disgust with the proceeding was fairly obvious as he constantly shot WTF looks at Mirman.
I had him sign a couple of my CD booklets after the show, one of which he inscribed “My biggest fan”. I guess I am Rupert Pupkin now. Kp was probably too shy to stalk him in Tempe.
There was a show on Fresh Air about geoengineering yesterday that talked about theories of dealing with global warming including filling the skies with particles to cut out the sun’s rays. There was also the story of Iceland’s revenge on its European creditors,
It all reminded me of this guy in Richmond who some people thought was a little nuts when I was growing up there.
If I am not mistaken on the demographics…
There was also this story on Fresh Air that I keep forgetting that was interesting.
The Surprising Strengths Of The Middle-Aged Brain
I heard a bit of the geoengineering show. Looking forward to catching it in full on the podcast. Saw a show on one of the science channels a while back where a guy was trying to see if it was feasible to launch about eleventy-million little discs to a position where the pull of gravity from both Earth and the Sun would be equal (so they would stay in place). The effect would be like an umbrella, and it would block like 2% of the Sun’s energy, being enough to reverse global warming.
Had a hard time making the little discs small and light, while still being able to withstand getting launched into space.
Lagrangian point, L1. If you pollute that space with eleventy-million little discs you’re gonna piss off a lot of really smart people.

I’ve always liked this group because like Obama they are bloody commies.
He was onto me and ditched me fairly easily. It was a good show here but I was hoping there’d be more people. Marc is really a great entertainer, such a craftsman.
