Fighting the Progressive News Machine
Has anyone ever noticed how the major technology blogs have a liberal bias? Well I have and it is more than obvious; for instance, today on Wired, they have another effusive article on Stephen Colbert, they clearly have metro-sexual crushes on him. Another article today on Wired is about Occupy Comics, which is devoted to the themes and ideas of the Occupy movement. Now I consider the Occupy movement to be degenerate scum, parasites feeding off of the entrails of a dying superpower, a meme for progressive unthought; foul public poopers and pabulum processors that posses puny putrid protesting pacifist principles. But I digress.
I did a search on Wired for "Stephen Colbert" dozens and dozens of loving articles appeared. So my snarky self did a search for "Bill O'Reilly", dozens and dozens of negative articles appeared. This is a technology blog engaging in partisan politics. It is clear that on all levels of information that we receive, the progressive left are engaging in indoctrination of us and our children. Well I say it is time to put our sunglasses on and reveal the slimy reptiles for what they are, we must join the battle!
If we non-leftists (and I use this term to describe all free market individualists), are to win, we need to fight the ubiquitous reach of the left, we need media that will compete and win against the leftist media machine that is U.S. media today. We need this media on every level: sports, technology, fashion, culture, news, etc. For the sake of freedom and liberty in the world, we non-leftists need to create this alternative media and we need to win, to dominate on every level. 
The things that entertain us, make us laugh, are the same. Today's leftist media gets to choose what is important, what becomes news. It is we that need to make these decisions in order to promote free market ideals, freedom and anti-socialism. Many who read this are already bloggers, we need to up our game, support our own and conquer and dominate the media; we must fight the indoctrination with a devastating campaign of information from a free market perspective. If not us, who?

Parrot Drives His Own Electric Car!
(via Jalopnik)
If you had an African Grey Parrot that shrieked and screamed so often it was driving you to the brink of madness, what would you do? Take drugs? Seal your earholes with wax? Murder the parrot in a fit of rage and then grill and eat the evidence? If you're Andrew Gray, you'll build the parrot a robotic car. I mean, duh.
See, Pepper, the parrot, won't fucking stop screaming, though he does it less when he's close to Andrew, a computer engineering grad student at the University of Florida. So, after experimenting with robotic anti-scream squirt guns (Pepper ended up liking the water spray), Andrew built Pepper a little car so that he could effectively follow him around the house, keeping him calm and relatively scream-free.
The car (called the BirdBuggy) is electric, with the forward wheels powered and casters at the rear. The parrot has a perch, and controls the car with a four-way joystick that moves the car forward and backward, and turns it left and right. In addition to the beak-operated stick, the car can be placed in a robotic mode to seek out its charging station via camera-based computer vision. Also, the car has bump sensors and an infrared collision avoidance system, since birds aren't exactly terrific drivers
One huge innovation I think will eventually find its way into mainstream vehicles is a special holder below the perch for newspaper, to allow for more hygienic shitting while driving. Who wouldn't love a feature like that in your own car? You'd save a fortune on floor mats.

Michigan House Approves Freedom of Choice Legislation
The Michigan House has voted to approve right-to-work legislation for private-sector workers.
House members voted 58-52 to approve the measure Thursday afternoon as hundreds of union activists protested loudly in the state Capitol halls in Lansing. Only Republicans voted in favor.
The Senate is debating similar legislation. Minority Democrats are offering a series of amendments, all of which majority Republicans have voted down.
Gov. Rick Snyder and legislative leaders announced earlier Thursday they would try to rush the legislation to enactment in the session's final days.
Michigan voters in November rejected a measure that would have enshrined a right to collective bargaining in the state constitution, leading to renewed calls from state lawmakers to take up the right-to-work issue before the end of the year.
"Right-to-work" laws typically allow workers to opt out of paying union dues and bar requirements that an employee must join a union to work in a certain shop.
Supporters say the laws help attract or keep businesses, while opponents say they suppress worker wages and benefits and are aimed at undermining the financial stability of unions.
The Michigan Chamber of Commerce on Monday gave its support for a "right-to-work" law while the Metropolitan Affairs Coalition, which includes both business and labor interests, last week urged Michigan not to pursue such a law.
Michigan had the fifth highest percentage of workers in the country who are union members in 2011, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Beautiful Lake Powell in Utah/Arizona
Lake Powell is a reservoir on the Colorado River, straddling the border between Utah and Arizona (most of it, along with Rainbow Bridge, is in Utah). It is a major vacation spot that around 2 million people visit every year. It is the second largest man-made reservoir It is the second largest man-made reservoir in the United States storing 24,322,000 acre feet (30 km³) of water when full. Lake Powell was created by the flooding of Glen Canyon by the Glen Canyon Dam, which also led to the creation of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, a popular summer destination.

Farts - More Than You Wanted To Know...
You cannot suffocate in a chamber full of your farts...okay, I can sleep now.
It's Official: Beer Is Good For You
A chemical compound in hops, the plant brewers use to give beer its bitter taste, provides an effective guard against a virus that can cause severe forms of pneumonia and bronchitis in youngsters, Sapporo Breweries said Wednesday.
In research with scientists at Sapporo Medical University, the compound — humulone — was found to be effective in curbing the respiratory syncytial (RS) virus, said the company, which funded the study.
"The RS virus can cause serious pneumonia and breathing difficulties for infants and toddlers, but no vaccination is available at the moment to contain it," said Jun Fuchimoto, a researcher from the company.
Fuchimoto said such small quantities of humulone were present in beer that someone would have to drink around 30 cans, each of 350 millilitres (12 oz), for it to have any virus-fighting effect.
"We are now studying the feasibility of applying humulone to food or non-alcoholic products," he said. "The challenge really is that the bitter taste is going to be difficult for children."
The research also found that humulone alleviated inflammation caused by infection from the virus, the brewery said.

England Lost two-thirds of its Millionaires due to 50% Tax
| Run Away! |
This number fell to just 6,000 after Gordon Brown introduced the new 50% top rate of income tax shortly before the last general election.
The figures have been seized upon by the Conservatives to claim that increasing the highest rate of tax actually led to a loss in revenues for the Government.
It is believed that rich Britons moved abroad or took steps to avoid paying the new levy by reducing their taxable incomes.
George Osborne, the Chancellor, announced in the Budget earlier this year that the 50% top rate will be reduced to 45% from next April.
Far from raising funds, it actually cost the UK £7 billion in lost tax revenue.
“Labour now needs to admit that their policies resulted in millionaires paying less tax and come clean about whether they would reintroduce this failed policy if they were in power.”
Mr Osborne argued earlier this year that the 50% rate was deterring entrepreneurs from coming to Britain.
The Chancellor wanted to scrap the top rate altogether for those earning more than £150,000 a year – and return to the previous system of a basic and top rate of tax.
This was blocked by the Liberal Democrats without a new mansion tax being introduced.
Labour will hold a parliamentary debate today to criticise the decision to reduce the top rate, which Ed Miliband, the Labour leader, has described as a “tax cut for millionaires”.
Senior Coalition figures are locked in negotiations over next Wednesday’s Autumn Statement which will set out government tax policies for next year.
The Tories wish to freeze out-of-work benefits. The handouts usually rise in line with inflation, which has meant that the unemployed are likely to receive a higher rise than most workers can expect.
It is understood that the Lib Dems will only allow the benefits freeze if taxes on the rich are increased.
The Lib Dems have long cherished an increase in taxes for multi-million pound properties. David Cameron has ruled out changes to council tax.
