We have not had a president with facial hair in 100 years. The last president with a moustache was William Howard Taft [1909]. The last president with a beard was Benjamin Harrison [1889]. The last president with sideburns [muttonchops] was Chester A Arthur [1881].

I think that points to a problem that could be addressed. Our political system only really allows for rich men and they tradtionaly don't have beards. What we need is a good Hockey fan to get the playoff beard going or someone like Rob Zombie or Zakk Wilde who have a hard rock metal background. Not one of these "professional crooks who get into politics cause they can make more money as president than as a congressmen or someone who stands up for the people".

I suppose this means I will have to shave my beard before I announce my candidacy for 2012.

Ahem, I also recently posted with Gov. David Paterson was sworn in that he was our first bearded governor in a hundred years. Glad we are on the same page. ^_^

The future is inevitably a de-keratinized anarchy. All the major sci-fi authors agree on this very crucial point. From an epidemiological viewpoint I would suggest an overwhelming effect of xenoestrogenic compounds.

I've got an original MacBook [2GHz Core Duo, 1GB RAM, 80GB HD (20GB free)]. If I upgrade the RAM to 2GB and the drive to 120GB, would that be sufficient to run Fusion + Vista?
Also, Latvian music is crap [see below].

Should be good enough...
:::link:::
The better question is, why Vista? (I don't like it all that much.)

Every once in a while some weird fucker will ask me about Latvian culture. And I sort of look at my shoes and mumble something about vodka because the truth is so much more depressing

Poor Latvia, it's really sad when a country doesn't have its own home-grown craptastic Eurovisionary talent and has to import songwriters from Sweden.

$1000000 ideaCategory: food
The graduated butter dish. Think about it:
You go to make yourself some toast in the morning, but the butter dish is empty. You take a stick of butter out of the box. Perhaps you notice the clever lines on the wrapper that tell you how much stick is in a tablespoon before you take it off and throw it away.
Lunchtime rolls around and you're making mac & cheese. You look at the box: '2 tablespoons butter.' You look at the full stick of butter in the dish, and think back to the wrapper which is now in the garbage and covered with coffee grounds. You dismiss thoughts of using a tablespoon measure. You're about to wing it until you start thinking about it Too Much: would that be cube-shaped or slightly smaller? You have another wrapped stick of butter, but you know if you cut it open it'll taste like fridge before you use it again.
The Zobarware Graduated Butter Dish: It has lines on it.

Alas. I was all ready with a sinister scheme to swindle some of that $100K. Now all the plans are in the drain because of these nasty little scummy pieces of tripe! :::link:::
