Called the Higgs boson, the particle was predicted in the 60s by Peter Higgs to help explain what gives matter and electrons their size and shape.
Upon learning of the discovery, an understandably crestfallen Obama quietly ordered the IRS to “audit that fucking thing until it feels so violated that it goes the hell back to where it came from.”

"It's a win-win. I got 50% off of my last hooker!" - Armadillo
I think he’ll claim “Barack Obama” is Kenyan for “Higgs Boson.”
No. No, I’m pretty sure that “Barack Obama” is Kenyan for “bend over, here it comes again!”
how nice for Mr. Higgs
he’s still alive the internet says
Physicists disappear in a cloud of particles, exultant on such a fine result.
does higgs know where allan stashed the virgins?
Slightly OT, a “Lil’ Johnny learns of words and meanings from Barky” joke thinger making the popular email rounds…
Lil’ Johnny Meets Barack
Barack Obama was visiting a primary school and he visited one of the classes. They were in the middle of a discussion related to words and their meanings. The teacher asked the president if he would like to lead the discussion on the word ‘tragedy’. So our illustrious president asked the class for an example of a ‘tragedy’.
One little boy stood up and offered: “If my best friend, who lives on a farm, is playing in the field and a tractor runs over him and kills him, that would be a tragedy.” “No,’ said Obama, ‘that would be an accident.”
A little girl raised her hand: “If a school bus carrying 50 children drove over a cliff, killing everyone inside, that would be a tragedy.”
“I’m afraid not,’ explained Obama. ‘That’s what we would call great loss.”
The room went silent. No other children volunteered. Obama searched the room. “Isn’t there someone here who can give me an example of a tragedy?”
Finally, at the back of the room, Little Johnny raised his hand. In a quiet voice he said: “If the plane carrying you and Mrs. Obama was struck by a ‘friendly fire’ missile and blown to smithereens, that would be a tragedy.”
“Fantastic!’ exclaimed Obama. ‘That’s right. And can you tell me why that would be tragedy?”
“Well,’ says Johnny, ‘It has to be a tragedy, because it sure as hell wouldn’t be a great loss… and you can bet it probably wasn’t an accident either.”
speaking of tragic National Soros Radio scoured the tundra and found the dumbest eskimo ever
They need to tell the stupid eskimo to sue that red ball in the sky.
Anyone who can look at a satellite map knows that the rivers in that area have changed course repeatedly over the millennia, as rivers in delta regions are widely known to do.
Don’t take my word for it. Go to Google Maps, enter Kipnuk, Alaska, and switch to satellite view. Look at that meander plain. It’s like a friggin’ cold Louisiana out there.
Nelson probably just wants to win enough to move somewhere fucking warmer.
now I googled i feel like I need to go to this alaska
in spring
even in spring you can’t drive to where this eskimo half-wit lives though
it looks like it’s lousy with bears though
“. . . with help from the organization Our Children’s Trust.”
Ha! That’s a good one.
Your old school Eskimo knew that the river moved, and that he’d occasionally need to pack up his stuff and move with it.
That’s harder to do when you’re living in a gummint-built frame house, though.
one day even the mississippi might will shake off its shackles
that’d be one of those moments where you take your cap off and look serious as serious can be
“We must be a good influence on . . . chill – dren.”
The mosquitos are going to be godawful out there. I would select a trip to the more mountainy, less swampy parts of Alaska if I were you.
The Mississippi does it on a regular basis.

Happy, you best go to Anchorage. It’s civilized there, not too many moose on the road and it’s warmer than anywhere else in the state. Summer lasts about 8 weeks—a real winter and the fourth of July—. My step-daughters both live up there and they love it but they’ve been up there for 30 years and don’t know any better.
McGehee used to live in Alaska and cranky has family there. They might weigh in on where to go and what to see.
i just wanna go once but when i have time to wander
i won’t have time for many many moons
to do it right
you know in the land of europe and in the united kingdom they have this idea, this concept – they call them “city breaks”
where you go to a different city for 3-5 days or whatever – usually getting an airfare/hotel package
yeah I know we have the same getaway idea here but I like the “city break” idea cause it’s freighted with the idea you should pick a city where you never been and it doesn’t have to cost a fortune
I think I’m a be content with that for awhile starting next year
maybe do Savannah like that and Birmingham and maybe Jacksonville and Memphis
like detroit or camden
i’m in more of a southern place right now
but i like smokestacks
i reckon they have about milked as much public funding out of that figment of imagination. soon it will be another figment that deserves ever more public funding for years and years of building bigger and bigger Rube Goldberg contraptions in order to prove the next figment exists.
“We don’t want no particle that nobody sent.”
I want to go up there too and catch a salmon and chop it up to pieces and put the pieces in freezer bags and ship them home separately. Macabre, I know, but it’s what I want to do. And now my friends are telling me they like to take the inland cruise when they switch out the ships at the end of the season, or something, I don’t know the details for certain, but they’ve done it a few times and report that the whole thing is just swell.
Does that sound like a good plan?
Language and intent, in the Higgscussion…
What the?! My link-fu lacks the correct spin.

I’m pretty sure he said he wants to go to Alaska.
Folks in Fairbanks say of Anchorage, “Great place! You can even see Alaska from there.” People in Anchorage have unkind things to say about Fairbanks but nobody listens to them anyway.
Believe me, McGehee, I have some relatives in Fairbanks who say just that. My dad was stationed in Nome and on the Aleutian Islands during the Korean war. He says he’s already seen Hell freeze over and he’s never going back.
Sod off, swampfoot.
I think it’s simply wonderful that Peter Higgs is alive to see the confirmed existence of a particle I have to imagine he assumed he’d never live to see.
leigh, that’s only for certain values of civilized. Working a project at Elmendorf a few years ago listening to a major talk about how he opened the inside door to his enclosed front porch one blizzardy day and found this breathing wall of fur where a brown bear had mistaken it for a cave to hibernate in….
Heh. Hubs lived in Eagle River before I met him and had a moose and her calves on his deck one morning peering through the sliding glass doors. And another time he had a brown bear in the yard.
