Not sure how this works, but it apparently allows young Japanese girls to smell higher and make magic floating fusilli bucati lunghi at the same time. Or maybe it’s for personal hygiene: “C’mere, hon! Put this on. It’ll make you smell better.”
And then there’s that curious reset button that blows (heheh, nose pun) my theories away. Sneeze inducer? Nasal decongestant? Alternative lifestyle enhancement?
I dunno, Babs, but I do know this. It’s time for the OOTers* to help decipher the purpose of this nasal contraption on The Overnight Open Thread.

Dorian, re your comment on the last thread: I agree that it would be blatantly—well, if not illegal, certainly inappropriate—for the Administration to try and render the Florida Obamacare decision moot by reason of a one-year waiver. I do not, however, think such a move is beneath this Administration, which to me appears almost wholly lawless and getting worse—and which is, I am sure, hoping some “wise Latina” wisdom and the biases of the First DA/DT Justice will help put them over the top.
I am not given to hyperbole. But this is the first Administration I can recall in my lifetime which considered the entire concept of “law” to be merely an advisory opinion to be disregarded.

Storm Troopers Are Not A Luxury
February 16, 2011: A major reason for the inability of the recently deposed Egyptian dictatorship to suppress anti-government demonstrations was the lack of a large, loyal and reliable security force. Not having such a force handy was unthinkable for any security conscious dictator. For example, in Iraq, Saddam Hussein had his Republican Guard, a force that was filled with well paid, well armed men who were, above all, loyal to Saddam. All other successful dictatorships have similar forces
Former Egyptian ruler Hosni Mubarak got lazy and greedy by filling his “regime maintenance” forces with conscripts (as troops) and recent college graduates (as officers). Theses security forces, like the 325,000 paramilitary police in the Central Security Services (belonging to the Interior Ministry, nor the Defense Ministry), were more loyal to the people than to the small group of corrupt politicians running the country
Dictators everywhere are noting what happened in Tunisia and Egypt, and what did not happen in other nations undergoing popular uprisings. Expect to see some reorganizations, and more attention being paid to having a reliable KGB, Republican Guard, Waffen SS or Revolutionary Guard when you really need it.

Things I’d Do If I Ever Became An Evil Overlord
My Legions of Terror will have helmets with clear plexiglass visors, not face-concealing ones.
Shooting is NOT too good for my enemies.
When I’ve captured my adversary and he says, “Look, before you kill me, will you at least tell me what this is all about?” I’ll say, “No.” and shoot him. No, on second thought I’ll shoot him then say “No.”
After I kidnap the beautiful princess, we will be married immediately in a quiet civil ceremony, not a lavish spectacle in three weeks’ time during which the final phase of my plan will be carried out.
I will not include a self-destruct mechanism unless absolutely necessary. If it is necessary, it will not be a large red button labeled “Danger: Do Not Push”. The big red button marked “Do Not Push” will instead trigger a spray of bullets on anyone stupid enough to disregard it. Similarly, the ON/OFF switch will not clearly be labeled as such.
One of my advisors will be an average five-year-old child. Any flaws in my plan that he is able to spot will be corrected before implementation.
When I employ people as advisors, I will occasionally listen to their advice.
to be cont.
Time for me to get back to work. Had me my supper-time break.

@ savages_girl:
OK, got the block-quote thingy backwards…
Despite its proven stress-relieving effect, I will not indulge in maniacal laughter. When so occupied, it’s too easy to miss unexpected developments that a more attentive individual could adjust to accordingly.
I will maintain a realistic assessment of my strengths and weaknesses. Even though this takes some of the fun out of the job, at least I will never utter the line “No, this cannot be! I AM INVINCIBLE!!!” (After that, death is usually instantaneous.)
I will not fly into a rage and kill a messenger who brings me bad news just to illustrate how evil I really am. Good messengers are hard to come by.
If my trusted lieutenant tells me my Legions of Terror are losing a battle, I will believe him. After all, he’s my trusted lieutenant.
I will be neither chivalrous nor sporting. If I have an unstoppable superweapon, I will use it as early and as often as possible instead of keeping it in reserve
I will only employ bounty hunters who work for money. Those who work for the pleasure of the hunt tend to do dumb things like even the odds to give the other guy a sporting chance.
If an advisor says to me “My liege, he is but one man. What can one man possibly do?”, I will reply “This.” and kill the advisor.
I will hire a team of board-certified architects and surveyors to examine my castle and inform me of any secret passages and abandoned tunnels that I might not know about.
My Legions of Terror will be trained in basic marksmanship. Any who cannot learn to hit a man-sized target at 10 meters will be used for target practice
My five-year-old child advisor will also be asked to decipher any code I am thinking of using. If he breaks the code in under 30 seconds, it will not be used. Note: this also applies to passwords.
I will see a competent psychiatrist and get cured of all extremely unusual phobias and bizarre compulsive habits which could prove to be a disadvantage
If the hero runs up to my roof, I will not run up after him and struggle with him in an attempt to push him over the edge. I will also not engage him at the edge of a cliff. (In the middle of a rope-bridge over a river of molten lava is not even worth considering.)
If I’m eating dinner with the hero, put poison in his goblet, then have to leave the table for any reason, I will order new drinks for both of us instead of trying to decide whether or not to switch with him.

My dungeon will have its own qualified medical staff complete with bodyguards. That way if a prisoner becomes sick and his cellmate tells the guard it’s an emergency, the guard will fetch a trauma team instead of opening up the cell for a look.

Tips for the Evil Overlord’s Accountant
Keep a set of books listing those activities of the Evil Overlord which would would be a credit to Gandhi. Show these records to anyone who cares to see them.
Keep a second set of books that lists the activities in the first set of books, plus those activites that look fishy at a cursory glance, but at closer examination are perfectly within the letter of the law, and maybe bend it a little. Show these books to auditors who aren’t fooled by the first set of books, and then only when the Evil Overlord has no choice but to allow examination. Keep them a bit disheveled so that anyone looking at them will think you were caught with your pants down.
Keep a third set of books, listing everything the Evil Overlord is up to. Show these books to the Evil Overlord when he wants to see them. Show them to nobody else. Store them in thermite-packed cabinets so that they can be destroyed with extreme speed.
Keep a fourth set of books, listing the locations and passwords for the bulk of the Evil Overlord’s loot, including the Plundered Crown Jewels. Use this information to bargain for your miserable cowardly life when the Hero defeats the Evil Overlord.
Keep a fifth set of books, listing the locations and passwords for a small portion of the Evil Overlord’s loot, in the form of unmarked and untraceable cash. Use this information to set yourself up for retirement after the Evil Overlord is overthrown.
When the Hero and his allies storm the Evil Overlord’s castle, hide under the Sturdy Oak Table with the other Sly Advisors until the fighting stops. If the Evil Overlord wins, it’s back to business as usual; your sniveling cowardice will only stoke the Evil Overlord’s feelings of superiority over you, so you will not be punished. If the Hero wins, thank the Hero for freeing you from the Evil Overlord’s mind control, show him to where the Plundered Crown Jewels are kept, and then when nobody’s looking, get the portion of the Evil Overlord’s loot that you have earmarked for your retirement fund and retire.
Do not bother the Evil Overlord with the details of finances; math bores him. Simply remember his net worth at any given moment and be prepared to supply that figure on demand.
Do not embezzle from the Evil Overlord, unless you are able to cover the discrepancy by exaggerating the losses incurred by the bumbling of the Evil Overlord’s other henchmen, and then only when said henchmen are dead.

Morning everyone. Another day, another picture blog. Slowly I am whittling down my back log of pictures to upload.
Good Morning Blogmocracy! Today is another glorious day in the Reign of Emperor Barack Hussein I, Pasha of the United States and Defender of the
FaithUmmah! There are 628 Days Until the 2012 Presidential Election! Time keeps on ticking, ticking, ticking…into the future! Well, things are moving, if slowly, in our direction. There were two good developments from the States yesterday. First, the Governor of Florida told Obama he could keep his billions of bribe money, that Florida didn’t need a high-speed rail that few people would actually use. This didn’t save the Federal Government any money (there were plenty of debtor states ready to snap up the “largess” from Uncle Sugar), but it saved Florida an expensive boondogle of a project that would have consumed resources needed for other things in the Sunshine State. And two, the Walker Administration in Wisconsin made a serious, substantive move towards ending the stranglehold that the public employees unions have on their budget. The union thugs came out of the woodwork, natch. If you had a Tea Party rally like they had a Union Rally it would be headlines for weeks, and the Credentialed Elites would be telling us what dire things it proved about the hyper-violent Right. Death Threats were made, and Sarah Palin wasn’t involved! So no story here, unless you pay attention to the Right-wing blogosphere. Just another Day in the Hole of Obama’s America, and deeper in debt…Nice to see a numerically literate adult in charge in FL. Who knows ? Maybe next we’ll see a city government tell some sports franchise owner to take a flying leap on that cushy new stadium/venue deal.
Oh, and in case anybody missed it, Da Hawk had something to say RE the admin’s railroad plans…

And I guess it depends on your age, but when I was a kid, urban mass transit in the US was overwhelmingly run by private companies for profit. No federal, state or local subsidies, no cost overruns, etc., etc.
@ Mike C.:
For profit?!?!? How dare they!?!?!?
Unfortunately, that is how large numbers of people feel about the situation. Thing is, if it isn’t profitable, it isn’t sustainable, I don’t care whether it is built with public or private money. Private money, though, tends to worry about little things like ROI and profitability more than public. Perhaps we need better public administrators? Nah, that couldn’t be it…
@ Mike C.:
Funny you mention that. Here in Toronto the new conservative Mayor is looking for a private/public partnership to expand our woefully inadequate subway lines. The Toronto Transit Commission is entirely public funded right now and it’s showing strain in budgets. I have seen fares rise about 50% since I moved to the city and service decline as well. Meanwhile the TTC Union employees are howling about all sorts of things. One being the public taking pictures of employees doing all sorts of things like talking and texting on their phones while driving.
@ Iron Fist:
Problem is, there are SO MANY “public administrators” who need “public” to “administrate.”
The tighter the noose gets, the more reason this massive beaureacracy has to find reasons to justify their very existence.

Meanwhile in LA, they build stadiums for teams that don’t even exist yet.
