This article reminded me of a little nugget from Newt that I had forgotten over the years: Death Penalty for Drug Possession.

Sound draconian? Newt can explain:

Indeed, which is why I remain skeptical of health insurance here.  It's like having a savings account where you can never access the money unless you're hit by a bus.

LOL  Wow.

And some people say Newt's a big thinker, yeah right. 

Is Newt Nuts? Consider the symptoms: Bouts of grandiosity, megalomania, irritability, impulsiveness, spending sprees …


10 of The Craziest Things Newt Gingrich Has Ever Said
Number Seven "I am convinced that if we do not decisively win the struggle over the nature of America, by the time they're my age, they will be in a secular atheist country, potentially one dominated by radical Islamists and with no understanding of what it once meant to be an American."

On breakfast TV yesterday they described one of the rediscovered episodes as "featuring dome shaped robots called Chumblies that were the forerunner to Dr Who's greatest adversary" ... okay - missing episode from 1965, Dalek's first appeared in 1963... I don't think Sian Williams has quite grasped the concept of linear time yet.

And people say John McCain is a maverick and Obama is an agent of change.

I just say we're ruled by morons.

Hope for God Particle builds

This article kind of sums up why articles written about science topics are pretty much useless.
