As the HoR is reading the constitution.

When they get to:

Quote
No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Some person in the gallery started shouting something about "OBAMA", and the proceedings were halted as that person was escorted from the chambers.

GG, guys.  GG.

Wasn't the ESPER project opened as a pet project from an enthusiast, kept secret under heavy security (read: no proper information was released), had unrealistic success rates, and has now been closed down, with the records buried? 

As for the White Crow experiments, I can find almost nothing describing them, though I faintly recall the name for some reason. I did find the old scientific  aphorism:
Quote
The hypothesis "all crows are black" can be disproved if a white crow is found. However many black crows are found, the hypothesis can still be disproved by a single bird.


Hell, I can barely find anything on either reference.

Yep, sounds like credible research to me.

Saudi Arabia captures Israeli 'spy vulture'

Quote
Residents and local reporters told Saudi Arabia's Al-Weeam newspaper that the matter seemed to be linked to a "Zionist plot" and swiftly alerted security services. The bird has since been placed under arrest.

Man, the news has been GOOD to us today.

I can't find the other breakdown that I saw dealt with the statistics and was much more to the fucking point.

The Bem story broke before the semester was out. globeandmail.com sure took its time with that one.

I think the major behavioral psychologists of the world simply realize that "we've proven the existence of psychic ability, and it's so weak in human beings that it will never ever have any practical use" is a more dejecting conclusion than "we haven't yet proven the existence of psychic ability".

I thought basically all "ESP" finds didn't have statistically significant rates of success or failure.

To get our minds off the tragic events of Saturday, Nazi-dressing alleged jihadist bites two FBI agents

Quote
Emerson Begolly, a 21-year-old Penn State student who allegedly expressed pro-jihad and anti-Semitic sentiments, was arrested in the parking lot of a Burger King in Pennsylvania last week after he allegedly went for a gun in his pocket and then bit two FBI agents when they tried to question him about his online activities.

Okay now this one is definitely a WHAT THE FUCK moment.

Why is someone named "Barack Obama" writing editorials on saccharine in the Wall Street Journal? 

I mean seriously, what the fuck is going on here?

Yeah, his credentials for writing are pretty slim. Not one doctorate or sign of expertise is mentioned just, "Lives in the White House"

No really... is that actually an editorial by Obama?

I was not aware that Presidents were ever given to writing lengthy editorials in any paper on minor tertiary issues far below their normal level of operations.

I guess I can see him doing it, but it just seems unreal, like a joke, hoax, or someone using a pseudonym.

Well, it may be a joke of some sort, but my quote is from the bottom of the article.

Yes, I did see that. It just seemed bizarrely unreal.

Maybe he thinks this will be like modern-day "Fireside Chats". I suppose commenting on minor issues normally below a president's comment works just fine if the column is going to be a weekly thing. But in isolation it's just weird.

A weekly presidential column though... that would actually be fairly cool and a very good idea to boot.
