Just so you know:

President Barack Obama's Secretary of Energy Stephen Chu uttered the kind of Washington gaffe that consists of telling the truth when inconvenient. According to Politico, Chu admitted to a House committee that the administration is not interested in lowering gas prices.


Chu, along with the Obama administration, regards the spike in gas prices as a feature rather than a bug. High gas prices provide an incentive for alternate energy technology, a priority for the White House, and a decrease in reliance on oil for energy.

The boys in DC are looking out after your interests, yo.

I may not have a TV at home, but I've discovered a few shows via Hulu recently.  I'm totally hooked on Once Upon a Time, Grimm and Smash (especially Smash).  At only $7.99/month, Hulu+ is an ideal alternative to cable for me.  (Now if they'd only cut a deal with HBO for Game of Thrones... dammit.)

What other good television am I missing?

And the survey says...

Remember my little wildy scientific survey?

Here's what I found out:

• Men are interested in lady knickers than women are, but not by much.
• Not a single female respondent carries spare pair of emergency undies.
• Very few of them have a sense of humor about it, either.
• Men care very little for what the knickers look like.
• They care very much about who is wearing them and getting us out of them, however.
• The Brits are nuts.

Thanks for responding... all nine of you!
