I just heard some Democrat use that irritating phrase, for the umptillionth time. Whenever I hear it, the physicist in me wonders how a tax cut can be “massive.” It seems to me to be primarily a rhetorical trick. In fact, I suspect that most Dems think that any tax cut, of whatever size, is “massive,” regardless of the units…
And while I’m on the subject of irrational political rhetoric, I’m still bothered by Al Gore’s idiotic and repetitious use of the phrase “blow a hole in the deficit” in the 1996 campaign. How do you blow a hole in a hole?

Being out of power really is making the Dems loony. Of course, they were in power for so long they still can’t quite get used to the idea that they’re no longer the majority party, and they continue to believe that they were entitled to rule forever. Even nine years after losing the House, they still don’t know how to act like a minority and behave themselves.

A DMV refused to issue a man a driver’s license because his signature was upside down.
What do they care? The important thing about a signature is not that it be legible (mine certainly isn’t) but that it be difficult to forge. Sounds like a good technique to me.
Sandy Szwarc has an interesting series at TCS on obesity. In the current article, she points to disturbing, and plausible, data that indicate that it may be caused by dieting.
I have to say that the more “wisdom” I read from professional nutritionists, the more I think that the entire field is rife with ignorance and quackery (though I suppose the former ameliorates the latter to some degree–are you a quack if you don’t know that you are?).
