Let's be honest, both poles of the American political spectrum fear the same thing about each other; that if the other gets control a lot of oppressive weird stuff will happen.

If right-wing people get control, the presidency will carry a 'sponsored by Exxon" sign and 'gay' will be outlawed.  Not gay marriage - gay.   If left wing people get control, there will be mandatory gay porn in church and jackbooted enviro-fascists will kick down your doors if you don't compost your orange rinds.

Former failed CEO and current political candidate Carly Fiorina has campaign staff who don't mind thinking outside the box a little.

How far outside?   Portraying your opponent as a demonic animal with red glowing eyes and your constituents as sheep is pretty far out.


Carly Fiorina.  And here I thought only the way she ran a  public company was insane.   

There's not much I can add to this, other than to be proud I witnessed a video event that media and journalism students decades from now will watch and study; sort of like that video of the Hindenburg bursting into flame, except Carly Fiorina's career flameout is a lot funnier.

Well, he did it again.  

The first thing you will be asking me is how Bloggy is off on another adventure with yet another blonde while I am stuck writing about it on the Internet.  It is a mystery of science.

The annual AAAS conference is being held next month in San Diego and I went last year (here and here and here) , despite it being a Chicago February, but most of you did not, thus the reason for the title.
