This ain't your grandma's fusion reactor
Scientists plan on creating a miniature artificial star which will generate temperatures in excess of 100 million degrees Celsius.
The procedure is officially known as Inertial Confinement Fusion and, if it is successful, could
result in a new, nearly limitless power source. I think I am going to order one for the Jeep.
The neighborhood bully strikes again
Gideon Levy, writing in Israel's oldest daily newspaper, opines about Operation Cast Lead, Israel's ongoing assault on Palestine.
"Once again, Israel's violent responses, even if there is justification for them, exceed all proportion and cross every red line of humaneness, morality, international law and wisdom."
Try to imagine any US politician or media-figure uttering these words. Any who did would be immediately castigated and labeled an anti-Semite. In Israel, apparently, it is permissible to question the wisdom of that government's actions. Sadly, the same cannot be said for the US. Cue the boilerplate proclamations from our officials about Israel needing to take whatever steps it feels are necessary for its security.
Update: This link and the sentiment that comes with it appeared in Glenn Greenwald's blog.

America's First Gay President Concludes Historic Second Term
WASHINGTON—President George W. Bush was unusually reflective in the final weeks of his administration, taking time during speeches and press conferences to look back on key decisions, expound on his legacy, and tout his role in paving the way for the nation's first African-American president by serving eight years as its first openly gay president.

Kop Busters
"KopBusters rented a house in Odessa, Texas and began growing two small Christmas trees under a grow light similar to those used for growing marijuana. When faced with a suspected marijuana grow, the police usually use illegal FLIR cameras and/or lie on the search warrant affidavit claiming they have probable cause to raid the house. Instead of conducting a proper investigation which usually leads to no probable cause, the Kops lie on the affidavit claiming a confidential informant saw the plants and/or the police could smell marijuana coming from the suspected house.
The trap was set and less than 24 hours later, the Odessa narcotics unit raided the house only to find KopBuster's attorney waiting under a system of complex gadgetry and spy cameras that streamed online to the KopBuster's secret mobile office nearby...
It is not illegal to grow plants under a light in your home but it is illegal to lie on an affidavit and plant drugs on a citizen. This operation was the first of its kind in the history of America. Police sometimes have other police investigating their crimes but the American court system has never dealt with a group of citizens stinging the police. Will the police file charges on the team who took down the corrupt cops? We will keep you posted."

The Auto Industry as a Play
From John Cole's Balloon Juice:
THE TRAGEDY OF THE AMERICAN AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY:A Play in Three Acts
Dramatis Personae
BIG THREE, a manufacturer of automobiles
UAW, Big Three’s employee
MITT ROMNEY, an idiot
ACT ONE
BIG THREE: I have plans to build automobiles, but I need labor to do so!
UAW: I will labor for you if you will pay me $40 per hour.
BIG THREE: I will not pay you $40 per hour.
UAW: But I need to save for my inevitible retirement, and any health concerns that may arise.
BIG THREE: I will pay you $30 per hour, plus a generous pension of guaranteed payments and health care upon your retirement.
UAW: Then I agree to work for you!
ACT TWO
UAW: I am building cars for you, as I have promised to do!
BIG THREE: I am designing terrible cars that few people want to buy! Also, rather than save for UAW’s inevitible retirement when I will have to pay him the generous pension of guaranteed payments and health care that I promised, I am spending that money under the dubious assumption that my future revenues will be sufficient to meet those obligations.
ACT THREE
UAW: I have fulfilled my end of the deal by building the automobiles that you have asked me to build.
BIG THREE: Oh no! I am undone! My automobiles are no longer competitive due to my years of poor planning and poor judgment!
MITT ROMNEY: This is all UAW’s fault!
The Problem with the Mainstream Media
David Ehrenstein presents a compelling case against the use of anonymous sources. Definitely worth the read.

Rylie Addison Michael
Weighing in at 10 pounds and 8 ounces. 21 inches long.
Fellas,
She had a rough start (long story) and is in the special care unit but is handling everything that planet earth has thrown at her. She's doing much better but is not out of the woods quite yet. I'm sorry if I can't answer the phone much right now but its been really busy.
Don't worry about all the wires. Thats the ehart monitor and breathing monitor which are looking real good. Just routine stuff. She does have an IV hooked up in her hands for antibiotics and glucose and thats what you see in the pictures. Its really fairly routine stuff. I'll get more info out soon.
