This simplistic correlation graph is kind of interesting and it meshes in with the topic du jour, none other than Nation of Islam supporter Charles F. Johnson. The more he messed around in the comments section of LGF, the fewer threads he put up, and the fewer people commented. I just like the colorful tinkertoys.
For more intensive interpretation, with actual numbers and algebra and stuff, check out how The Boiler Room Crew covered it in November 2011.
And now, without further doodoo is The Overnight Open Thread.
[Update: Rarely has the Blogmocracy or Diary of Daedalus been in error when posting about Charles F. Johnson, but it was the esteemed Andrew Breitbart who corrected us and set us straight. CJ’s middle initial stands for Fuckface.]

[via email from 1389AD]
We’ve featured Rat Rods before, but now it’s time for some street legal mobiles that would make Ralph Nader crawl into a freshly dug grave just to roll over.
Yes, you read that right; these little beasties are street legal.
They run on either Kawasaki or Honda motorcycle engines and co-opt vintage bumper car bodies into the most awesome form of mini-car we’ve seen in too long. There are seven of these little monsters floating around California and they’re all the creation of one man, Tom Wright, a builder in the outskirts of San Diego who figured the leftovers of the Long Beach Pike amusement park needed a more dignified end than the trash heap.
They were originally powered by two cylinder Harley Davidson Motorcycle engines but they rattled like heck because of the two cylinder vibration and Tom replaces them with four cylinder Honda or Kawasaki 750’s and a couple have been measured as capable of 160 MPH, which is terrifyingly fast in machines with such a short wheelbase.
Unsafe At Any Speed is just how we like it on The Overnight Open Thread.
