EE Times Asia has a story about Olympic Torches for the masses. When viewers around the world turn on their TVs on Aug. 8 to watch the opening ceremony of Beijing Summer Olympics, only few will be aware of a behind-the-scenes controversy quietly brewing in China over the use of MEMS-equipped electronic toy torches in…

I just saw a cute comment at Althouse about Obama’s plan to inflate our way out of the energy crisis. Whip Underinflation Now H/T Instapundit Cross Posted at Power and Control

Judah Benjamin has some thoughts on the Obama birth certificate controversy. Remember that this is a unique situation in the History of the USA and only the Republicans have any relevant experience in this area. Until he is the Candidate the only place in which an objection could be lodged would be Illinois. Subsequent to…

The commenters over at Althouse are having a lot of fun with the politically correct crowd. I joined in and had some fun too. Zach, just because black people sometimes call each other “niggers” doesn’t make it ok for white people to do that. What ever happened to equal opportunity? Don’t leftys believe in that…

My friend linearthinker sent me this bit about your government in action. I know to a lot of you this may seem stupid, but there you have it. Your government in action. The City of Weed sounds like something akin to Homer Simpson’s Land of Chocolate, but honestly it’s just a city in California named…

Jon Stewart is not endorsed by this blog. He speaks strictly for himself. And he is damn funny. Let me add that once one of your major campaign tactics hits the comedy circuit it is over. Or as some one pointed out in a blog comment I recently came across, Obama has done more for…

See Paris Hilton Responds to McCain Ad and more funny videos on FunnyOrDie.com See more funny videos at Funny or Die Today, in a totally surprise announcement, Paris Hilton says that she is endorsing herself for President. As part of that announcement she has unveiled her energy plan. New technology and drill, drill drill. Given…

Commenter Jane at Just One Minute posted this interesting e-mail she received. Barack Obama is not a legal U.S. natural-born citizen according to the law on the books at the time of his birth, which falls between December 24, 1952, to November 13, 1986. Federal Law requires that the office of President requires a natural-born…

Take a look at this report excerpted here and then watch the video. Barack Obama has lost ground among some of his strongest bases of support, including young people, women, Democrats and independents, according to a new ATV/Zogby poll. The Illinois Democrat has also lost some support among African-Americans and Hispanics, where his lead over…

Texas Darlin takes a look at the Obama birth certificate issue and has a few words on the matter. Techdude’s latest report, written exclusively for the TexasDarlin blog, is mind-blowing. This report responds to critics; solves the “security border” mystery; AND exposes THE SMOKING GUN that will be conclusive in proving that the Certificate of…

Lovely video. I must take exception to one point. I do not believe America was founded as a Christian Nation. On the other points I am in agreement. Keep your eyes open for the frequent appearance of a Puma. It refers to Party Unity My Ass. A slogan of Hillary supporters who are none too…

Team Obama has figured out a way to stop his slide in the polls. Summer Camp. The BHO campaign has sent out emails to me and probably millions of other lucky recipients encouraging us to sign up for a local “Camp Obama” (my.barackobama.com/page/s/campobamaus, my.barackobama.com/page/s/campobama08la), a two-day session where we’d learn how to be effective organizers…

I recently did a post on how a number of Democrats view the McCain campaign so far. Here is my favorite quote from the long list of quotes: After Axelrod swiftboated Hillary, I tell you, he has no play book for the GE. For such a “brilliant team” they are struggling with a cadaver and…

There is a discussion going on at Talk Left (which has banned me as a commenter – boo frickin hoo) about Obama playing the race card. Some of the comments are quite amusing. I’m going to pick the best of the lot (something like 200+ in the lot) and post them so you needn’t spend…

John Tierney ask folks to leave comments about what big problems people should be worrying about. Here is what I worry about: I worry about people who worry about Lebensraum. You know, too many humans on the planet. I’d keep a close watch on those boys. H/T Instapundit Cross Posted at Power and Control

Megam McArdle is discussing GM’s woes. GM has declared a stunning loss–over $15 billion dollars. Their cash position has fallen by about 10% since last year. That cash cushion used to comfort analysts, the notion being that GM had the reserves to ride out a long rough spell. Now liquidity fears are firming up. I’d…

Q and O has the details. As Emanuel notes, the odds were set. 500 vs. 70. Even so, Emanuel entitled his article, “An Alamo With a Different Ending.” The 500 terrorists apparently didn’t realize they were attacking US Army paratroopers. The unit in question was 2nd Platoon, Company C, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry Regiment (Airborne),…

Congressman Mike Pence gives an after action report on yesterday’s after hours session on oil drilling that took place on the House floor after the session was adjourned by Speaker Pelosi. …we had a hundred people, a hundred people signed up to give speeches at the end of the day, which is a very, very…
