Um... How does that work?

Does it bother anyone else that some lawmakers don't know the law?  To me, it would make sense if the people who make laws (legislative branch of government) were people who actually have knowledge about the law (judicial branch of government).  If you somehow manage to pass a law that violates the constitution and the judicial system overturns the law citing them unconstitutional, you should be fired.  You're a moron that doesn't know what he/she is talking about.  You're clearly not qualified for the job.

Post Secrets

I recently returned from a PostSecret event.  It was not as I had expected.  I expected a gallery showing of some of the most fascinating secrets sent in to Frank Warren.  Instead, what I actually saw was a lecture from Frank Warren himself about how and why he started PostSecret.  I was not entertained by the lecture, but what I did find out was that Warren did not intend to take PostSecret as far as it has gone.  He started with an idea for an art project (and is somewhat obssessed with secrets if you ask me) and the project took on a life of its own.  It was a good idea.  I'm still undecided on how to view him.  Would it be appropriate if I label him an "artist" despite the fact that he didn't design the cards or wrote most of the secrest himself?  Regardless, I believed he had a good idea and the courage to follow though with a plan, crazy as it might seem.

Linkity links

Went on Reddit and I happen to findd some links to Ron Paul's Ad.  There's not very much mud-slinging, which is novel right now.  I disagree with him on many, many issues, but Hao seems to like him and so I present him with this link:
