A lot of white people are protesting high taxes in Michigan. You have to admit, it’s not a very diverse crowd.

Dramatic
I think that MSNBC should consider Dramatic Chipmunk as a replacement for Olby. The commentary would be much more intelligent.
[Via Nick Gillespie, who has a lot more, if you enjoy seeing Olby rhetorically beaten to a thin pulp.]
Any chance that comment will get me honored as the Worst Person In The World?
Probably not.
Speaking of Olbermann, so much for his “racist” tea parties.
Up yours too, Janeane.
The Truth Is Out There
Space Nazis versus Space Nazis. The real reason that Obama killed the human space program
I hate Space Nazis. Especially Illinois Space Nazis.
Recursion
Hitler makes a Hitler-parody video:
Meeting The Unmet Need
An atheist adoption service for pets abandoned by their raptured owners:
Whatever motivates Centre, he has tapped into a source of genuine unease. Todd Strandberg, who founded a biblical prophecy Web site called raptureready.com that draws 250,000 unique visitors a month, agrees that Fido and Mittens are doomed. “Pets don’t have souls, so they’ll remain on Earth. I don’t see how they can be taken with you,” he says. “A lot of persons are concerned about their pets, but I don’t know if they should necessarily trust atheists to take care of them.”
This paradox poses a challenge for Centre. He must reassure the Rapture crowd that his pet rescuers are wicked enough to be left behind but good enough to take proper care of the abandoned pets. Rescuers must sign an affidavit to affirm their disbelief in God—and they must also clear a criminal background check. “We want people who have pets and are animal lovers,” Centre says. They also must have the means to rescue and transport the animals in their charge. His network consists of 26 rescuers covering 22 states. “They take this very seriously,” Centre says.
It’s a serious issue, previously unaddressed. Isn’t America great? I should sign up as a rescuer.
You Knew This Was Coming
Hitler is told that Constellation has been cancelled.
Of course, whoever made it falls into the common trap of equating Constellation with the human spaceflight program. I really don’t understand the thinking of people who complain that we will have to pay private industry to get to the ISS, as though Ares/Orion wouldn’t be much more expensive. I guess it’s OK to pay government employees, though, and cost-plus contractors.
[Update a few minutes later]
Alan Boyle has a roundup of reactions from…other people.
Well, He Should Apologize
Rahm Emanuel compared liberal Democrats to retarded people, then apologized. To the retarded people.
Makes sense to me.

The not-long awaited Hitler response.
Engagement
The Saints and Colts are still hoping to avoid having to play a football game:
“Playing this Super Bowl is our last resort,” said NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, who was flanked by the coaches and quarterbacks for the opposing teams. “Yes, there are some difficult issues that need to be hashed out, such as who will be the game’s MVP, the number of total passing yards for each quarterback, and which team will be named Super Bowl champion, but I think we made progress today.”
“The Colts and the Saints are unwavering in their commitment to avoid any violence and wish to resolve the Super Bowl peacefully, without a single football being thrown,” Goodell added.
I think that they should meet without preconditions.
