Spill reveals Obama's lack of executive experience Washington Examiner
"Seven months later, after receiving the Democratic presidential nomination, Obama talked with CNN's Anderson Cooper.
At the time, the news was dominated by Hurricane Gustav, which was headed toward New Orleans and threatening to become a Katrina-like disaster.
'Some of your Republican critics have said you don't have the experience to handle a situation like this,' Cooper said to Obama.
'They in fact have said that Governor Palin has more executive experience. ...'
'Governor Palin's town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees,' Obama answered.
'We have got 2,500 in this campaign.
I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year.
You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month.
So, I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute, I think, has been made clear over the last couple of years.'"
The man is a fool!

British Defense Researchers Create Invisible Tank
British Defense Researchers Create Invisible Tank - Science News
"London's Daily Mail, Daily Telegraph and Sun all report on tests conducted by the Ministry of Defence last week in which a tank rolled across a field, completely invisible to observers standing at a certain point.
'This technology is incredible,' an unnamed soldier was quoted by the Daily Mail and Sun.
'If I hadn't been present I wouldn't have believed it. I looked across the fields and just saw grass and trees — but in reality I was staring down the barrel of a tank gun.'"

"The Department of Transportation, in its infinite wisdom, has announced new rules for airlines to compensate passengers who are involuntarily bumped from an oversold flight.
We have a better idea—or, more precisely, the late economist Julian Simon had one 30 years ago."

As the Sun Awakens, NASA Keeps a Wary Eye on Space Weather - NASA Science
The sun is waking up from a deep slumber, and in the next few years we expect to see much higher levels of solar activity.
At the same time, our technological society has developed an unprecedented sensitivity to solar storms.
The intersection of these two issues is what we're getting together to discuss.'"

PBS' brand of 'civility'
PBS' brand of 'civility' - Pittsburgh Tribune-Review
"PBS station managers made a big push last year to drive any trace of 'sectarian' Christianity out of the taxpayer-funded broadcasting system, banning any church services or religious lectures that appeared on a handful of stations.
They ultimately compromised and banned any new church programming.
But on at least one program, PBS sounds like it's declaring war on Christianity, including smears on Christianity that are not based on reality."

Chef In Gay Extort Bust - June 7, 2010
"Upon flying back to Detroit and conferring with his spouse, the man contacted the FBI about the shakedown plot. While claiming not to recall any 'homosexual liaison' in his hotel room, the man told investigators that he 'felt woozy and unclear' the morning after the purported encounter.
He also reported that his $20,000 Rolex was missing, along with a credit card and $200 in cash."
This is scary!

Mosque at Ground Zero: Takbir!
Atlas Shrugs: Mosque at Ground Zero: Takbir!
"Here is CNN's piece on the offensive mosque at Ground Zero.
It is certainly more balanced than the interview I did with them on TV earlier this morning.
The interviewer was very hostile (shocka) and argumentative towards my position, while lobbing nerf balls to the disinformationalist Muslim journalist hurling Geller ad hominem attacks."

DNC, Obama Now Astroturfing Talk Radio
DNC, Obama Now Astroturfing Talk Radio - Big Journalism
"The shameless media manipulators at the DNC have a new campaign designed to promote Elena Kagan for the Supreme Court.
As with previous campaigns, the “Kagan for Justice Action Center” is run via a special website set up by Organizing for America.
It encourages people to write letters to the editors of newspapers nationwide
(And we can presume that, as before, local newspapers will publish DNC talking points without realizing it).
What’s new is that the DNC is now branching out to Astroturf talk radio as well.
Here’s how the page looks on their website:"
