Survey says?

R U Paleo? If so, and you have a few minutes to spare, please consider filling out the 2010 Paleo Community Survey.

Need some rage today? Try this on for size! Kansas legislator suggests using hunters in helicopters to control illegal immigration, likens immigrants to feral hogs. Representative Peck's final thoughts on the matter?

He said he didn't expect any further controversy over his comment. "I think it's over," he said.

Like your political career (I hope), you fucking cretin. I never thought I'd live to see the day that I wished was back in southeastern Kansas, but goddamn, I'd love to vote against this guy.

I painted a statuette of St. Barbara last night. I think I did a pretty good job, considering I haven't painted anything like that in years (and years and years). I need some more small brushes.

Advice request! Before I start painting the water guns, I need to fill in some areas (like where the manufacturer cut the word s-p-l-a-s-h across a little oval area on the side). Does anyone have a suggestion for something to fill these spaces? I tried pouring some glue in there, but I don't think that's a great solution, and I'm unsure it'll dry evenly. I like the idea of some sort of putty that I could press in, that would take paint and wouldn't fall out. Dunno if that's realistic or not, though. What say you?

I thought about drywall mud, but I'm worried about it getting too dry and cracking. The auto body putty would be perfect, though. And there's a chance mckitterick might already have some in the garage.

I can't even see straight over that legislator.

Yeah, well, that tie he's wearing in the photo doesn't help.

Edit: Oops! I didn't link to the story with the photo of him. Here (http://thinkprogress.org/2011/03/14/kansas-gop-shooting-helicoptors/). That'll make it worse.

The tie? That hairline!~

Yah, I'm thinking Bondo.. or hot glue schmeared over it, then covered w/ paintable paper?

nottygypsy says there's a product made especially for this sort of thing--filling in gaps in plastic for painting over. She's going to get the name of it and hopefully I'll be able to find some of it in town. Yay!

Silicon or putty filler? It's really about the same thing as auto body filler. This might help, he's asking about filling armor (http://www.405th.com/showthread.php/1281-body-filler-helllllppppp-bondo-silicone), and someone gave several options.
