Insofar as Obama is concerned, NASA needs to look downward and inward not upward and outward. Space exploration is right out. It&#8217;s just too costly.</p>
<p>But if it&#8217;s <em>that</em> costly, how can we have this:</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><object width="450" height="253" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=34854673&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=000000&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0" /><embed width="450" height="253" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://vimeo.com/moogaloop.swf?clip_id=34854673&amp;server=vimeo.com&amp;show_title=0&amp;show_byline=0&amp;show_portrait=0&amp;color=000000&amp;fullscreen=1&amp;autoplay=0&amp;loop=0" allowfullscreen="true" allowscriptaccess="always" /></object><br />
<strong class="highlight">Boldly Going Where NASA Can&#8217;t Afford To Tread</strong></p>
<p>If a space program is so expensive that the Obama Regime has to curtail NASA&#8217;s efforts, how could a small Washington DC metro area restaurant chain, <a title="Sticky Rice" href="http://www.ilovestickyrice.com/restaurants/" target="_blank">Sticky Rice</a>, with only for restaurants be able to afford to collaborate with <a href="http://vimeo.com/rvatv">RVA TV</a> and Bark Marketing to launch one of their Godzirra rolls into space &#8211; and how could they manage to do it in the first place?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><img class="left-image" style="margin-top:5px;" title="jonolan" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/dark.thumbnail.jpg" alt="" width="36" height="36" /><em>OK, for the sake of precision, Sticky Rice didn&#8217;t actually put a Godzirra Maki into space. They didn&#8217;t breach the <a title="Wikipedia - Karman Line" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K%C3%A1rm%C3%A1n_line" target="_blank">Karman Line</a> and only managed to send their sushi into the middle stratosphere.</em></p>
<p>Sticky Rice should rename their Godzirra roll. They should call it the Fukyu-Obama Maki.</p>
<p>If a small business can, using commercially available equipment and materials send, film, and successfully recover sushi to the edge of space then it&#8217;s disgusting to claim and laughable to believe that America needs to curtail space exploration.</p>

<p>So&#8230;<em>Oh Hell Yeah!</em> Two great American sandwich classics, the grilled cheese sandwich and the hamburger, concatenated into a single meaty, cheesy wonder. And you could even add some bacon to it.</p>

<strong class="highlight">Before &amp; After &#8211; Gentlemen Beware</strong></p>
<p>The <a href="http://www.rinkuskiai.lt/index_en.php" title="Rinkuskiai Brewery" target="_blank">Rinkuškiai Brewery</a> in the Biržai region of Lithuania, while not required by their government to put such warning labels on the beers, chose to provide very practical warnings anyway on bottles of their Beers. </p>
<p>I don&#8217;t know about you, but I think that Rinkuškiai&#8217;s warning looks to carry a lot more weight with drinkers than what the US government requires. <img src='http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' />  </p>
<p>Gentlemen, drink responsibly or you may face some ugly consequences.</p>

<p>According to <a title="Wall Street Journal - A Frosty Reception for Coca-Cola's White Christmas Cans " href="http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204012004577070521211375302.html" target="_blank">The Wall Street Journal</a>, there were perceived taste differences and many found the white cans too easy to confuse for diet coke &#8211; because reading the can&#8217;s label was just too much work or took too much thought.</p>
<p>While not directly causative, this bit of stupidity is indicative of why America is in the piss-poor shape that it&#8217;s in. Too many people are too mentally deficient and too lazy to even begin to do for themselves but are seemingly always willing and able to complain and to demand that &#8220;the powers that be&#8221; make changes to enable their unmerited comfort.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s really no wonder that wealth, influence, and power are concentrated among the few when the many are little more than mindless drones.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The the Leftists, these Liberals and Progressives, have been drinking the Kool-Aid handed out to them by their master in great draughts is obvious. They gulp it down with the sick frenzy of addicts. Worse, like the true dregs of humanity that they are, when they are denied their preferred fix, they turn to cruder intoxicants such as what Obama sold throughout their ranks in recent times &#8211; much in the same way as derelicts will turn to Sterno when booze is not available.</p>
<p>What has been the question facing Americans though is what exactly is this Leftist Kool-Aid that they&#8217;re guzzling. Just what is this strange brew that give them such garish visions and whips them into such destructive frenzies? We, at long last, have found out&#8230;</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-42908" title="Leninade" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/leninade.jpg" alt="Leninade" width="450" height="603" /><br />
<strong class="highlight">We Have Found Their Kool-Aid</strong></p>
<p>Sadly, even finding the intoxicant that these Liberals and Progressives so readily get hopped up on serves America little at all. It is easily and cheaply produced and, unlike the &#8220;Kool-Aid&#8221; of Jonestown, it&#8217;s not immediately fatal to the drinker, instead causing mortal harm to all those better people surrounding them.</p>
<p>I have my doubts about the possibility of reforming these addicts. A junkie is a junkie and will always be so and this Leninade seems worse than crack or meth, so a twelve-step program seems unlikely to help. Still, America has to do something about the Leftists and the Kool-Aid addiction.</p>
<p>At least we&#8217;ve discovered the Leftists&#8217; Kool-Aid. Breaking the supply chain can be worked out later. <img src='http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-40127" title="Choose My Plate" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/choose-my-plate-gov.jpg" alt="Choose My Plate" width="450" height="403" /><br />
<strong class="highlight">So&#8230;What&#8217;s a Potato? Or Spinach?</strong></p>
<p>Normally I would ignore the politically correct sop thrown to the vegans by using &#8220;protein&#8221; as opposed to &#8220;meat, fish, and eggs,&#8221; but it&#8217;s part of the problem with this new program. Four general classes of food and a nutrient?</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;"><img class="left-image" style="margin-top:5px;" title="jonolan" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2008/01/dark.thumbnail.jpg" alt="" width="36" height="36" /><em>You want to make it understandable? Then pick a freaking metric and stick with it, you valueless idiots! Mixing them for sake of the votes of a few strident fringe dwellers will just cause harm.</em></p>
<p>And where are the fats and oils? Is everyone expected to go on a raw foods diets or don&#8217;t cooking methods and saucing matter anymore?</p>
<p>How about strawberry cheesecake? Since sweets aren&#8217;t mentioned at all, does that imply that it shouldn&#8217;t be eaten or is it one fruit and one dairy?</p>
<p>For the Obamas and those toadies and donors they&#8217;ve appointment to the federal government&#8217;s bureaucracy it&#8217;s gets even worse. Their core constituency and the only one left solidly behind them, the Obama Zombies, need a slightly different diet in order to stay vigorous and, hence, need a different Food Guide&#8230; <img src='http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':-P' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-40124" title="Zombie Food Pyramid" src="http://blog.jonolan.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/zombie-food-pyramid.jpg" alt="Zombie Food Pyramid" width="450" height="375" /><br />
<strong class="highlight">OooooobaaAAAmmaaa! We&#8217;re Entitled To Their Brains</strong></p>
<p>Sadly the shambling, yet still dangerous, hordes of zombies that support Obama aren&#8217;t quite as teachable as the average flatworm. No matter how many Americans&#8217; brains they devour, they still won&#8217;t learn anything.</p>
