There is a war going on

Michael Yon has some excellent recent dispatches - see this and this.

The Gravity of the Future

See this

It demonstrates that a superconductive gyroscope is capable of generating a powerful gravitomagnetic field, and is therefore the gravitational counterpart of the magnetic coil. Depending on further confirmation, this effect could form the basis for a new technological domain, which would have numerous applications in space and other high-tech sectors

This too

Their startling measurement might point towards a new quantum theory of gravity. It might even herald a futuristic technology that could be used to pull, push or levitate any object, regardless of its composition, electrical charge or shape.

Media Bias

Another excellent example:

The Associated Press, like nearly all mainstream media outlets, runs interference for the global warming hysterics by misrepresenting the nature of the debate, misrepresenting the positions of those who oppose the hysteria, and subtly (or perhaps not so subtly) suggesting that all who question the anthropogenic global warming theorists can safely be dismissed as cranks.

And in other news, the latest story on what I call the Great European Evacuation (of the Netherlands, in this case):

This year some 32% are seriously considering a move as opposed to 26% last year according to the ‘Emigration Monitor’. What is even more revealing is that the 20 to 30 age group constitutes the largest group of leavers, a trend that got further momentum when one polling group figured out that about half of the nation’s adolescents would, given the chance, prefer to pack up and go.

Or this from last year regarding Great Britain. Germany too.

One more thing: I finally found the commentary on Pelosi's Syria visit that I was looking for:

Apparently incapable of recognizing irony in the same way animals are said to not recognize color...

And, while I'm posting, a digital April Fools prank

Frisbee Pollution

According to Justice Scalia, the Supreme Court's reasoning could make frisbees qualify as air pollution:

It follows that everything airborne, from Frisbees to flatulence, qualifies as an “air pollutant.”

May 11

Deliberate media manipulation of fact Exhibit A:

It’s interesting how the Times repeatedly says “May 11″ without reporting the year.

The correction, if it appears, will change the date without withdrawing the entire bogus story that is based on it.

I know it's true because I read it in the newspaper!
