“Manohar Aich, the 1952 Mr. Universe, is tiny, toothless and proudly ripped. And as of Sunday, he [was] 100 years old.“

Straight on through to the…
Updates.
This week’s new Update category…
Really? You can’t be serious.
“… the obvious and pressing threat is not from a Hitlerite-Orwellian dictatorship but from a Huxleyan namby-pamby mommy state. That sort of system could seduce Americans into becoming chestless subjects of the State in exchange for bottomless self-gratification and liberation from the necessity of adult decision-making.“

[Can you believe that conservatives would even conceive of such a fantastical , nonsensical , patently self - contradictory concept as liberal " fascism "?]
[Well, if any lower life form ever could conceive of such an idiotic concept as liberal " fascism ", conservatives would have to be that life form . Yes, believe it or not, there are actually conservative life forms out there (which are similar to bacteria in terms of evolutionary advancement ) that have attempted to suggest such insipidity .
[ Absolutely unbelievable .]

Obama & Conventional Energy Update:
“President Obama’s decision to abandon plans for removing the waste to the Yucca Mountain repository in Nevada creates an uncertainty that could be a barrier to the expansion of nuclear power. Two nuclear policy experts argue that the 1982 Nuclear Waste Policy Act provides sufficient confidence that spent nuclear fuel will be removed and, thus, that the waste confidence rule is unnecessary and should be abandoned.“

Obama’s “Truth” on Energy Update:
“One of the many falsehoods that the President and his anti-fossil fuel allies like to perpetuate is that the U.S. is about run out of reserves.“

—————
Energy Availability Update:
“The evidence is mounting that not only do we have more than a century’s worth of recoverable oil in the United States alone (even if there is a limit to the earth’s oil supply), but that we also actually have a limitless supply of Texas tea because oil is in fact a renewable resource that is being constantly created deep under the earth’s surface and which rises upward…“

[ASND has seen several of these reports in the recent past. We are not yet certain if this theory is true, but it is certainly interesting.]
—————
Wind Power Update:
“Like the EU, the UK has become enamored with the idea of reducing CO2 through wind technology. But most academic models show that the cheapest way to reduce CO2 by 20% in 2020 would be to switch from coal to cleaner natural gas.“

---------------
Atheism Update:
“[Atheists] say it makes them feel unwelcome.“
[Once again, ASND simply asks, "Why?" How can someone "feel" unwelcome on their own road? Atheists are taxpayers too.]
[ASND also asks, "What are "feelings" anyway? Are they not non-physical, immaterial realities? But since "feelings" are immaterial and non-physical, why do you "feel" them?"]
[Finally, ASND would also like to ask, "We thought atheists were only interested in objective, empirically observed physicalities as facts? When did "feelings" become objective, empirically observed physical facts?]
and…
“Richard Dawkins, P.Z. Myers and other New Atheists are planning a ‘Reason Rally’ in Washington, D.C. on March 24. They’re billing it as ‘the largest gathering of the secular movement in world history,’ and they’re using it to trumpet their message that reasonable people reject belief in God.“
[ Nobody Important will be there.]
[Really.]
