Thanks to Budapest Poster Gallery I had the opportunity to take a very close look at the original oil paintings for the world famous Hungarian Star Wars movie posters. The three original artworks are going to be auctioned off this Sunday, May 31, and now you too can examine them closer than ever.

It seems like every day we are confronted with more evidence that Rand Paul and his followers should be kept as far from the levers of power as Barack Obama.

Paul seems to be either unable or unwilling to break free of the need to suck up to the same nutjobs and douches that kept his old man in psychotropic drugs for  a couple of decades. Regardless, the effect is the same. Putin carving Crimea out of Ukraine is fine. The GOP “hawks” are to blame for arming ISIS (no mention is made of Obama or Hillary being anywhere in the same hemisphere). The newest round of nutjobbery from Paul is a video churned out by his allied America’s Liberty PAC

America’s Liberty PAC (ALPAC) is a Super PAC created for and dedicated to, electing Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) 82% President of the United States in 2016. It is the only Super PAC endorsed by Senator Paul.

ALPAC was founded by veterans of both the Ron Paul Presidential Campaigns of 2008 and 2012 and veterans of Rand Paul’s 2010 US Senate Campaign. The top leadership and staff are all veterans of these and other campaigns.

The ad attacks Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) 55% for not “standing with Rand” in his jihad against the re-authorization of parts of the Patriot Act (full disclosure, I’m mostly with Paul on this issue). They use an interest color for the “Geo Metro” Graham is supposed to be riding in but they really reach peak form with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100%:

I don’t mind candidates pointing out the flaws in others but this kind of low rent douchebaggery reeks of flopsweat and desperation. It is pretty well known that Paul’s campaign is floundering in regards to finding donors who can raise presidential-campaign levels of money. Of the serious candidates in the field, Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) 100% is probably the one that is cutting into smaller donors who might be convinced to vote for Paul. So Paul — via his close friends and allies, but without “coordination” — accuses Ted freakin Cruz of being an Obama ally and regurgitates the “birther” bull**** that one would expect of his crazy father. If another ad like this appears on Paul’s behalf it is a certain sign that he simply doesn’t have any more of the intelligence or temperament to be president than does Barack Obama.

Any day I expect him to express questions about the World Trade Center and maybe have his “Southern Avenger” buddy start an Ante-bellum newsletter to compete with those sent out by dear old dad.

You can now drink coffee from coffee cups--literally! After 5 years of research, Julian Lechner hit upon a formula that works. He combined used coffee grounds from cafes in Berlin with glue and wood to create Kaffeeform Cups--espresso cups that are made of compressed coffee grounds.

The combination forms a liquid that Lechner injects into a mold, then seals with a waterproof resin. Despite this industrial processing, the cups still smell like coffee. They're sturdy enough to withstand a dishwashing machine and have already been tested for durability in a commercial cafe.
