Ants inhabit 'world without sex'

ants are amazing, there was a guy talking about them on npr the other week, apparently there are like four HUGE ant "families" in california/baja california, and you can pick up an ant from humboldt count and take it down to san diego and put it with some other ants and if its the same family the lil guy will just fall right in line and start doing her job

and if its a different family the ants will fucking murder her

also they herd katydids. herd them!! if i had a choose a #1 species most likely to take over world and enslave humans it would be ants

I'm constatnly at war with ants in kitchen. The black ones like grease and the red ones dig the carbs. They should start reading the nutrition nazi thread, for their own good.

I think it also has to do with hatred of funding for PBS trickling down to hatred of muppets and learning and children.

The Chair of the Sumter South Carolina Tea Party posted -- and then quickly pulled -- a post on her Facebook page earlier this month that joked about throwing the Obamas out of a helicopter.

Shery Lanford Smith posted the the joke on her Facebook page on August 11th. The page is now private.

In the joke, the Obamas are on a helicopter talking about how they could make people happy if they threw money out the window. The pilot says: "I could throw both of them out of the window and make 256 million people very happy!" Smith added: "If you're one of 256 million, PASS IT ON."

It's like every day, this stuff!

Assemblyman Patrick Delany cited family reasons when he unexpectedly announced his resignation last month.

But the real reason for Delany’s resignation came pouring out today, after the political website PolitickerNJ.com published a racially-charged e-mail that Delany’s wife, Jennifer, allegedly sent to state Senate candidate Carl Lewis in response to a mass e-mail from Lewis' campaign.

“Imagine, not having to pay NJ state income taxes ... It must be nice. Imagine getting a court ruling overturned so your name could get put on the ballot. Imagine having dark skin and name recognition and the nerve to think that equalled (sic) knowing something about politics. Sure, knowing someone with fat purse strings is nice, but you have no knowledge,” the website quotes Jennifer Delany writing.

In a statement issued shortly after the story appeared on the website, Delany, a Republican from Burlington County who resigned Aug. 12, acknowledged the e-mail’s authenticity and said it was the reason he resigned.

"I am deeply disappointed in my wife's decision to send that email to Mr. Lewis' campaign; it does not reflect my personal beliefs whatsoever,” he said. “In an attempt to repair the serious damage this has caused to our marriage, and to protect our kids from public humiliation, I decided to leave public life. On behalf of my family, we sincerely apologize to Mr. Lewis for any pain this caused him."

Neat bit:

http://www.truth-out.org/goodbye-all-reflections-gop-operative-who-left-cult/1314907779

...While Democrats temporized, or even dismissed the fears of the white working class as racist or nativist, Republicans went to work. To be sure, the business wing of the Republican Party consists of the most energetic outsourcers, wage cutters and hirers of sub-minimum wage immigrant labor to be found anywhere on the globe. But the faux-populist wing of the party, knowing the mental compartmentalization that occurs in most low-information voters, played on the fears of that same white working class to focus their anger on scapegoats that do no damage to corporations' bottom lines: instead of raising the minimum wage, let's build a wall on the Southern border (then hire a defense contractor to incompetently manage it). Instead of predatory bankers, it's evil Muslims. Or evil gays. Or evil abortionists.

How do they manage to do this? Because Democrats ceded the field. Above all, they do not understand language. Their initiatives are posed in impenetrable policy-speak: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. The what? - can anyone even remember it? No wonder the pejorative "Obamacare" won out. Contrast that with the Republicans' Patriot Act. You're a patriot, aren't you? Does anyone at the GED level have a clue what a Stimulus Bill is supposed to be? Why didn't the White House call it the Jobs Bill and keep pounding on that theme?...

I had really been hoping - the way that the campaign had been run with all the cool logos and posters and shit - that the obama administration would have brought on some top-notch propaganda people to make sure that his messages were buffed to a shine, tilted up about 45 degrees, and sort of bubbly. like, I really thought all that would carry through.

in essence: pbs posts obamas remarks as they were provided by the press office, probably before the speech was given. obama goes off script, mistakenly refers to lincoln as "founder of the republican party." pbs doesnt bother correcting the remarks online, because honestly, who gives a shit? as it turns out, this guy gives a shit.

dunno if this belongs here in any specific way but for those out of the know Tim Tebow is evangelical who has said very loudly that football is a way for him to spread God's word. He is also not an NFL-caliber quarterback. I like to imagine the people who would spend money on billboards demanding he play are the same people applauding death row statistics. It's a little tin-foil hatty of me but bear with.
