Which means they’ll end up regretting it.

Light And Scattered Posting
I’m at a two-day meeting in DC.
Local Man
…takes advantage of three-hour wait at the DMV to write a blog post advocating for government health care. You can see why Snopes and other leftists really hate the Babylon Bee.
A Modest Proposal
We must, finally, take effective steps to end gun violence:
I’m proposing that we campaign to reduce gun violence, and to meet our constitutional duty, by requiring that every member of the militia — which, of course, we’ll redefine to eliminate the obvious sexism and make it all adults — must own at least one long gun, one handgun, and 1,000 rounds of ammunition for each, or pay an annual $1,000 tax for failing to do so. As I pointed out the last time I brought this up, the Supreme Court’s decision on Obamacare makes it clear that it’s constitutional to require people to buy a product, so that shouldn’t be a problem. And, federal law would override the local laws in rogue cities like Chicago that prevent members of the militia from fulfilling their constitutional duty.
They can no longer be sanctuary cities from the 2nd Amendment.
Space Traffic
ESA had an incident with SpaceX.
This much traffic was probably not anticipated by the drafters of the OST. We need to establish further agreements and norms.
Craft Rums
I’m a rum drinker (I acquired the habit in Puerto Rico), but not a rum snob. I can’t imagine paying this much for a bottle.
Site Down
It should be working now. Not sure what the issue was, but it’s been resolved.

Someone was attacking the email services on my server. No idea who, or motive, but the IP has been blocked.
Terrible Nutrition Advice
More of the usual nonsense:
The study, published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine, found that at the 34 fast-food chains they analyzed, the average combo meal contains 1,193 calories, and that the quantities of sodium, saturated fat and sugar are through the roof.
But all a person has to do is hold the dipping sauce; remove toppings, such as cheese; and opt for water over soda — and you’ll be good as gravy, says lead author Kelsey Vercammen of Harvard’s T.H. Chan School of Public Health in an interview with Reuters Health.
The problem with fast food is not calories, or saturated fat, or sodium. It’s the bun and the potatoes. The only good advice here is water instead of soda.
