Cool new search tool

Searchme Visual Search
This is a nice looking tool I’ll have to spend some time with.  It reminds me a bit of an idea I had for amazon a while back that would simulate browsing a bookstore more than the current site does.

Weaponized Satre!

Warning: catatonia and/or self-indulgent poetry may result.
WASHINGTON—Calling it the most effective tool to date in the War on Terror, the Pentagon announced Monday that it had developed a new chemical weapon called “ennui gas,” a nerve agent that overwhelms its victims with sudden philosophical distress over the meaningless tedium of human life and a sinking [...]

Michelle Malkin: Newt sold us out now that he doesn’t need votes!

Newt and Pelosi
Has it occured to you, Michelle, that perhaps Newt feels free to do the right thing, now that he doesn’t have to suck up to corporate interests?  Funny, loyalty for you is so very fragile.

Yes, they are all lying

Is there any part of this government we’ve brought upon ourselves that ISN’T lying to the public?
The VA claimed there were 790 attempted suicides in 2007, when, in actuality there are 1000 suicide attempts a month???  Oh, yes, we must hide this.

“Now one of Clinton’s Laws of Politics is this,” Mr. Clinton says. “If one candidate’s trying to scare you and the other one’s trying to get you to [...]

Healthcare for children: U.S. and Britain last.

Of course.  Because we always think about the children.
On the plus side, it looks like the states are about the tell GW to go to hell.  It stuns me that an elected official would put restrictions on how states dole out healthcare.  Oh, right, don’t want to screw those big insurance companies that donate so [...]

THIS gets the blu-ray treatment?

Really?  REALLY?

Cloverfield DVD

So, it comes out today.  Different stores are carrying different extras.  I find this very annoying.
