According to our resident expert on such matters there were 18 million joggers in America in 1983 — one third of whom were women.
Baldness Cured Via Laser Hat
Baldness Cured With Laser Hat
A guy tinkering in his garage has cured baldness by inventing a laser hat, at least according to Bloomberg Businessweek.
The inventor is Tamim Hamid is a former NASA research engineer, who has degrees in electrical engineering, computer engineering and biomedicine. His company is Theradome.
The hat contains 80 lasers that mimic sunlight and help bring hair follicles back to life. It is based on research from the mid-60s in which Dr. Endre Mester while trying to trigger the growth of cancerous tumors in rats miscalibrated a laser resulting in the growth of hair instead.
The product was financed with crowdfunding via IndieGoGo. Hamid’s motivation was, well, take a guess.
The devices cost $795 and as of now are only approved for use by women. Approval for men is expected soon though, according to Hamid.

Global Warming Crisis Debunked Decisively
Global Warming Crisis Debunked Decisively
Professor Christian Schluchter of the University of Bern — that would be in Switzerland for any Obama voting hipsters– has decisively debunked the alleged crisis called global warming.
Schluchter found 4000-year-old chunks of wood at the edge of Swiss glaciers in the 1990s. This indicated that back in the day the Alps were almost glacier free, even through the time of Christ.
That’s right, back in Roman times when there was no cars and coal plants it was a lot, lot warmer.
This would mean that any warming has nothing to do with man and warm is a lot better than cold.
This means we don’t have to sacrifice our freedom and modern conveniences to appease Gaia, and enrich and empower shysters.
No, Obama-voting hipsters, Switzerland is not in the United States. It’s in Europe. That’s on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. You know when you go to the Jersey Shore to get drunk and see the big waves? Europe is on the other side of the big waves.

Texting While Driving VW Ad
This experiment sponsored by Volkswagen was performed at the MCL Cinema in Hong Kong. It’s a rather conclusive argument as to why one should not text and drive.

Brat Scares Amnesty Establishment
Dave Brat’s earthshaking defeat of House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, June 10, in Virginia’s 7th District Congressional Republican primary should sound the siren for those who equate “immigration reform” as “amnesty, amnesty, amnesty or you’re a bigot.”
This would be most of the Republican establishment.
OK, you got your wake up call.
And here’s your bonus clue: instead of putting “amnesty” in the lead of your immigration reform proposals put “enforcement”. Work from the premise that our immigration and border control laws are necessary and just.
Really, simply say these words: our immigration and border control laws are necessary and just. Watch the mouths drop on the mainstream commentators and editorial writers. Watch them start to sputter. Watch the rest of America applaud.
Most of us conservatives don’t hate Mexicans — or Irish, Chinese, Hondurans etc. who also have an illegal presence here. Most of us don’t think that they are evil people. Most of us understand that if we were in their shoes we might skirt the law to live in America if given the chance.
Imagine a red light. A driver who rolls through one is not a monster. But suppose a cop rather than a ticket upon catching one gives him free food, health care and a college education. So much for orderly traffic. The system breaks down and the roads become unusable.
The first step in immigration reform should be to require that every government agency at every level have EVerify to check the immigration status of applicants.
Yes, this includes school districts.
The third step is to impose painful sanctions on governments sworn to uphold the law who publicly declare they won’t. This means consequences for all who declare their cities to be sanctuaries. The consequences can include loss of funding and greater presence of federal law enforcement. Remember our immigration laws are just and necessary.
The fourth step is one of diplomacy aimed specifically at Mexico. Americans must be allowed to own property in Mexico along the border without being bound to a Mexican real estate bank. Mexico also must become safer. It had a murder rate as of 2012 of 22 per 100,000. This five times that of the United States which is 4.7 per 100,000. Mexico has strict gun control. We must push to get that nation to adopt the Second Amendment so they actually have the right to bear arms rather than just keep them in their homes. Oh, just imagine the heads that would spin when this is proposed. Yes, we must encourage the sane, law-abiding Mexicans who want to be left alone to be armed rather than arm the thugs in that nation which is perversely what our policy has been under the Obama administration. Finally, we have to bring home Marine Sgt. Andrew Tahmooressi.
At that point we can start talking about cutting some slack to those who have been living here illegally for a long time and have assimilated into this country as a productive member of their community. Note this would not include gang members.

Tesla Bill Angers Other Auto Makers
State Sen. John Rafferty (R-44) introduced SB 1409, June 9, that would change Pennsylvania’s Board of Vehicles Act of 1983 so that a “manufacturer or distributor may own, operate or control a new vehicle dealership trading solely in electric vehicles”.
It contains a whole lot of other conditions so that it basically solely applies to Tesla Motors, the California maker of electric cars that use a franchise-free, web-based, direct sale model.
Existing law prohibits auto makers from selling directly to customers hence the need for franchises to act as middle-men.
Tesla certainly should be allowed to sell directly to customers.
Of course, so should Ford, Toyota, BMW etc.
If the law should be repealed entirely so that all auto-makers may sell directly to consumers via the internet what would happen to the poor franchise owners?
Weathers Dodge in Middletown, Delaware County, was closed in 2010 after 78 years as part of Obama’s plan for reorganizing Chrysler. It became Weathers Motors where it sells used cars and provides superb service.
The former franchises that offer good deals on used cars and provide superb service will survive. The others? Would you shed tears for them?

School Bosses Make Big Bucks
Philadelphia School Bosses Make Big Bucks
The always excellent Commonwealth Foundation published last month the first issue of Commonwealth Commentary, an old-fashioned, dead-tree newsletter.
Featured was an article by Maura Pennington describing how the Philly school bosses make big bucks despite the district being broke and crying for more money.
Ms. Pennington notes that Philadelphia School Superintendent William Hite pulls in $270,000 (not counting benefits) and his deputy makes $210,000.
Contrast that to the $175,000 salary pulled down by Gov. Tom Corbett.
Ms. Pennington reports that eight assistant superintendents make $145,000 each and the district’s budget director makes $128,724.
All told, 395 employees — about the size of a typical suburban graduating class — make over $100,000.
Again, not counting benefits.
The real reason that school vouchers and charter schools are opposed by these educational establishment is not because they are ineffective but because they will derail the gravy train.
The cost of a charter school is about 60 percent of that of a public school.
