In the past November election, California voters voted YES on the Safe, Reliable High Speed Passenger Train for the 21st Century Bond Act - a $10 billion disbursement. Take a look at this pretty picture of what it will look like:

It looks like one of the Blue Angels, if you don’t know what that is, here:

Just fabulous! Now look at the route that it intends on running:

It goes from San Diego to Sacramento! To me, a resident of Southern California, this is terrific news!!!!! A high speed train to transport my drunk ass to Northern California! For many years I’ve been unable to venture into Northern territories due to the lack of comfortable and lightning fast transportation - that and Southern California has better surfing and warmer weather and hotter women. This is almost as good as my high speed internet I use to look up dead baby jokes at lightning fast speed! One could only hope they serve alcohol on this new train.

 There’s been a lot of talk in the news recently about what Obama will do about the nation’s science and technology industries, specifically space. The chart below illustrates how over the years our energy research has lessened. Very interesting and very boring.

This got me thinking about whether there has been a black man in space before. After a quick search on Google, I discovered that there indeed has been a black man in space before!

This picture was taken in September 1980, the man in question, Col. Tamayo-Mendez, a Cuban national, was the first black man in space. Sorry Mr. Obama, you’re 28 years too late. But hey, it’s okay, congrats on being the first black president.
