48% Support Obama; 29% Support Tea Baggers

Two interesting stats today:

  1. 48% of Americans approve of the job Obama is doing.  [CBS via HotAir]
  2. 29% of Americans support the Tea Party.  [via Newser]

Which means, if Obama joined the Tea Party, he’d be at 77%.  Think about it, Mr. President.  Might be a good idea.

Israel Set To Deport 400 Children

Yikes.  What would Family Values Voters say?  From RT:

Angry protests have taken place in Tel Aviv against the planned deportation of four hundred children of immigrant workers. Born in Israel and speaking Hebrew, the youngsters were never given citizenship because their parents are not Israeli or Jewish. Many people are questioning the government’s drive to preserve what it calls ‘the Jewish character of the state’.

NASA Discovers Two Planets Orbiting Same Star

This is cool.  NASA declares it “the first confirmed planetary system with more than one planet crossing in front of, or transiting, the same star.”  It’s the solar system 2.0.

The transit signatures of two distinct planets were seen in the data for the sun-like star designated Kepler-9. The planets were named Kepler-9b and 9c. The discovery incorporates seven months of observations of more than 156,000 stars as part of an ongoing search for Earth-sized planets outside our solar system. The findings will be published in Thursday’s issue of the journal Science.

We’ll probably get our first alien visit any day now.  See pic below — it’s the one on the left.

10 Reasons We All Want Brad Pitt And Angelina Jolie To Break Up

While Ian Undercover keeps us updated on the latest Brad/Angelina gossip, I’ll dive into the deeper psychological motivations we all have when evaluating the relationship.  Or I’ll make some jokes.

  1. Secretly, we have a crush on Brad, right?  For some, maybe it’s a man-crush.  Others, it’s a crush-crush.  We think he’d be a fun guy to hang out with (man-crush).  Or we (I’m looking at you ladies now) want to have sex with him.  Even Angie can’t resist him, right?
  2. Publicly, we (I think I speak for every man) definitely have a crush on Angelina Jolie.  Ever since Hackers, man.  She’s a babe.  We would adopt any number of foreign babies to make her love us … which is maybe the angle Sandra Bullock is taking.  That would be sexy.
  3. We hate that they’re so lucky.  Seriously — wealthy, attractive movie stars that go to cool award shows, travel the world, and get to sext each other.  That’s just not fair.
  4. We wish there was more news coverage of their relationship.  They’re the hottest couple around, why can’t we get a daily dose?  Sometimes two days pass before we get an update.  That’s just lazy, CNN.
  5. But what’s the deal with all the babies?  Those kids are going to be so messed up.  They need to break up … for the children.
  6. Honestly, though, did you see Brad in Snatch?  He’s badass.
  7. God, and Gia.  More like goddess.  Holy cow.
  8. Then there’s Mr. and Mrs. Smith.  That part with the gun fight.  Damn.
  9. Tomb Raider.  Man, she’s a babe.  Total babe.
  10. Meet Joe Black.  Am I right, ladies?  You want him.

Colondra Hamilton, Stick With Driving And Sexting Like Everybody Else

Seriously?  Crack pipe, sex toy, porno video on a laptop, AND illegally tinted windows?  Time to go back to gold old fashioned sexting, Colondra.

Police said Hamilton had her pants unbuttoned and admitted that she was using the sex toy when they pulled her over (via WLWT).

I still don’t quite understand this story.  If Pamela Anderson gets busy with Tommy Lee while driving, we make her a movie-star.  If Colondra Hamilton is a little board in traffic, we charger her with “driving with impaired alertness.”  Maybe the tinted windows pushed the cop over the edge.

Scientists Create Dry Water, Grant Achatz Probably Jealous

Dry water?  This is crazy, and probably coming to a kitchen near you.  From the Telegraph:

The substance resembles powdered sugar and could revolutionise the way chemicals are used.

Makes me think of this bubble-tea-inspired gin and tonic drink from Grant Achatz and Craig Schoettler:

Tiger Woods “Hit It Good Today” At Barclays Golf Tournament

A funny quote from Tiger Woods today.  He said he “hit it good today.” Which is, of course, what she said.  He added (not a joke): “It feels good to be able to control my ball[s] all day like this.”  Oh, bachelor life!

Could he have been sandbagging his game until after the divorce?  He certainly didn’t play too well at the PGA Championships.  Who knows.  Real news about the tournament here.

5 Reasons Levi Johnston Should Be Mayor Of Wasilla

We can’t support Levi Johnston’s campaign enough here at 40HTK.  Sure, we could donate money, but we’d rather just run this story.  Yesterday, it was Chimo Gun.  Tomorrow, the mayor’s mansion.  Here’s why you should love him too:

  1. He’s running out of spite.  That’s the greatest quality a leader can have.  Pure, baseless spite.  It’s why Lamborghini exists — Mr. Ferrari wouldn’t build the right car for Mr. Lamborghini so Mr. Lamborghini was like, “Fine, bitch,I’ll make my own damn cars.”  LJ has some seriously stylish Italian shoes to fill.  He’ll look great in them.
  2. It’ll be great for Wasilla.  Instead of being known as Sarah Palin’s hometown, they’ll be known as the idiots that elected Levi.  That’s probably a better claim to fame.
  3. Celebrities make great politicians.  Levi is following in the footsteps of some serious greats — Reagan, Schwarzenegger, Ventura — managing a reality TV career and a Playgirl modeling gig is evidently great preparation for running a town.
  4. It’ll be great for Alaska.  Everybody with any shred of political ambition is going to move to Alaska if Levi wins.  Turns out you only need to get 7ish votes to get a serious-sounding position that you can use to parlay into future success (*cough* Sarah Palin).  “Dude, I was MAYOR of an entire CITY … with 45 residents.”  Some suburban high school class presidents have more executive experience than this.  (Note: the pic below calls it a ‘community’ … d’oh!)
  5. Bristol will take him back.  Guaranteed.  This is the kind of stable job and prestige women love.  Especially women raising your shortie.

What else?  Leave a note in the comments if you’ve got more reasons to love Levi.

Welcome to Wasilla
