Finally made it to Friday. And I have next Monday and Tuesday off, so it’s a big weekend. It’ll be even bigger if we win the Mega Millions, which is now up to something like $540 million<\/del> $640 million. If I win, I hope to do things like vote for Mitt Romney, and tell amusing stories about the time my dad closed an auto plant and laid off thousands or workers<\/a>. A real knee slapper. <\/p>\n

Speaking of Mitt Romney, the poor fella just can’t catch a break. Turns out Eldon Roth – the founder of Pink Slime Inc. (aka, “Beef Products”) – is a major Romney donor<\/a>. In fact, I think Romney himself is actually 42% pink slime. He should definitely choose Santorum as his running mate. “Slimy and Frothy 2012.” <\/p>\n

If he doesn’t go with the Frothman, he might want to consider Michelle Duggar. I don’t actually know who she is, but apparently she has 19 kids and thinks overpopulation is a lie<\/a>, and anyhow she isn’t burdening the world with her need to breed, because her family buys used cars and stuff. As proof, she cites the “fact” that the entire world’s population could fit in Jacksonville FL.<\/p>\n

I am forced to admit being ignorant of this fact. Turns out, Jacksonville is the largest city (area-wise) in the lower 48 – at about 874 square miles. 758 square miles of land, and another 116 or so is water. <\/p>\n

So, let’s do the math here. Presumably Michelle isn’t expecting a few billion people to tread water, so, with the world’s population being about 7 billion, that would be about 9.2 million people per square mile. A square mile is 27,878,400 square feet, so that would be about a third of a square foot per person. Seems a little tight. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
