I don’t care much for Hip Hop. However, Tone is one of my favorites. Probably NSFW.

The Justice Department is at it again. Protecting us from unscrupulous doctors. The kind that prescribe too much pain medication for those in pain. In a drama that has been played out all too many times across the country in recent years, the Justice Department’s campaign against prescription drug abuse — if you can call…

I was reading at Alphecca about the Brady anti-gun campaign’s rating of various States on the level of their gun prohibition laws. A low rating means a gun friendly state. A high rating means very unfriendly to fire arms. California is very unfriendly. Here is the take of one commenter from California. Of course like…

I caught just a hint of this picture in the video at Get Some and thought it deserved a closer inspection. Taken from: American Partisan where you can see an even larger version. A history of the picture. It dates from 21 Sept 2001.

The opening music is not my favorite. It gets better towards the end, for a while. Lyrics in parts NSFW. The video is just excellent. A nice rejoinder to the Bezerkeleyites.

My Pet Jawa has a report up on the cyber war between the Taliban and the Jawas.

Your cyberattacks are…

The US Military has put out a slide show about Al Qaeda In Iraq [pdf]. The first few slides are innocuous enough. After that it gets pretty graphic. Pictures of wounds on torture victims. Mass graves. And other such vileness. After looking at the presentation it is no wonder the Iraqis hate Al Qaeda and…

Stretch them to the breaking point and then increase the pressure. Collapse will follow. In the early days of the siege of Richmond, Lee admitted that if Grant had been able to bring one or two more brigades to bear he would have been crushed as he had no reserves left. It appears that this…

Unfortunately John McCain got Time’s endorsement. Fortunately he did get the New York Time’s endorsement. I say they cancel out. McCain. More at Gateway Pundit Cross Posted at Power and Control

It looks like Romney is getting some help in the debate in Florida. It is too bad he didn’t ask the audience for a clue. What we need in the “debates” is more audience participation. You know. To make it more real.

This is going around. I got it from Gateway Pundit who has more.

The title is a paraphrase of an astute comment at Althouse HT Instapundit

I wanted to post this video done in 2000 to help people to get a feel for just how big the ITER Fusion Test Reactor is. The Bussard Reactor is about 1/100th that size. Here is another ITER video. In the beginning it shows something called the Central Solenoid. A Bussard Reactor producing 100 MW…

There is a long discussion going on at Gates of Vienna about the divisions in our society. The Left seems intent on multiplying those differences in a divide and conquer strategy. One of the participants said that the answer to what the left is doing is for people of European ancestry to band together to…

Back when Power and Control was new (Dec ‘004) I put up a post called Internet Security, where I discussed the problems of controlling critical infrastructure with the Internet, wireless, or worse yet wireless Internet. George Tenent then head of the CIA said we had a problem. Let me quote a bit to give you…

John Leo at Minding the Campus discusses affirmative diversity counseling at Yale. Yale’s burgeoning diversity program has another announcement: it wants to “incorporate the role of ethnic counselor into that of freshman counselor, who will become responsible for providing enhanced community support for cultural affairs on campus,” according to the Yale Daily News. What does…

Black Five has an update on the Jay Grodner case that I reported on in A Marine Needs Help. The best stuff is in the comments so I’ll give you those. From Mike the Marine yesterday: [Sgt] McNulty might derive some comfort from the fact that the presiding judge is a former Marine. Circuit Court…
