The real and the perceived...



A series of 11 infographics from Mother Jones vividly illustrate the widening gap between America's rich and poor, and how skewed Americans' views of this inequality are. The myth of the American dream has led plenty of ordinary Americans to believe that they are rich-people-in-waiting, leading them to support policies that benefit the rich at their expense

He is now famous throughout Tunisia and the Arab world — a legend, in fact. But Mohammed Bouazizi never set out to be a byword. His aunt Radia Bouazizi says his dream was to save enough money to be able to rent or buy a pickup truck. "Not to cruise around in," she says, "but for his work." Her nephew was a vegetable seller. "He would come home tired after pushing the cart around all day. All he wanted was a pickup." Instead, he started a revolution

Some Reagan bon mots from our friend Christopher Hitchens

Ronald Reagan said that he sought a "Star Wars" defense only in order to share the technology with the tyrants of the U.S.S.R. Ronald Reagan professed to be annoyed when people called it "Star Wars," even though he had ended his speech on the subject with the lame quip, "May the force be with you." Ronald Reagan used to alarm his Soviet counterparts by saying that surely they'd both unite against an invasion from Mars. Ronald Reagan used to alarm other constituencies by speaking freely about the "End Times" foreshadowed in the Bible. In the Oval Office, Ronald Reagan told Yitzhak Shamir and Simon Wiesenthal, on two separate occasions, that he himself had assisted personally at the liberation of the Nazi death camps

Ahhh... there was a president..

9/1/83 A Soviet fighter mistakenly shoots down Korean Air Lines flight 007 after it strays into Soviet airspace, killing 269. George Shultz calls Tip O’Neill to tell him about the incident. “What does the President think about this?” asks O’Neill. “We’ll tell him when he wakes up,” says Shultz. Only after CBS shows President Reagan on horseback at his ranch as the crisis unfolds does he reluctantly return to Washington

This case-mod masterpiece from modder pinchillo was inspired by the Dreadnoughts from Warhammer 40,000. As you will see in the video after the break, the damn thing actually talks, has a spinning chain gun and working LED lights. Oh, and there’s a PC in there somewhere…whatever

Man's head rejects implanted camera

Artist Wafaa Bilal mounted a camera on a titanium base inserted between his skull and his skin, and planned to live with it embedded in his head for a year. Though he took antibiotic and steroid treatments, persistence was futile: his body rejected part of the implant, forcing its removal last week. Photo: Reuters/Jessica Rinaldi

amish black market. I dig it...

raw-milk-raw-deal.jpg
Two people have died in the last 10 years from drinking unpasteurized milk. Twelve states have banned it. (By comparison, between two and twelve children die every year playing high school football. When will high school football be banned?)
In today's edition of The Daily, Jordan Heller writes about the Amish and Mennonite dairy farmers who smuggle unpasteurized milk into New York to serve a market of raw milk devotees.
Isaac has yet to be raided by the authorities, but Mark Nolt, a Mennonite dairy farmer from Cumberland County, is all too familiar with the Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture's enforcement of the law. Nolt's farm was raided three times in 2007 and 2008. On one occasion, state troopers took him away in handcuffs.
"They even took my cheese-making equipment," Nolt said over the phone. He puts his losses at $100,000.
Many in the raw milk community believe law enforcement picks on the Amish and Mennonites because they don't expect resistance. But when Nolt was taken to magistrate court, he refused to enter a plea because, he said, the court had no business in his dealings. He has similarly refused to pay his fines -- $4,000 and counting.
Nolt's resistance, which has been well-documented, has earned him a rather grand moniker: "the Rosa Parks of the farmers' rights movement."
Though shy about the comparison, Nolt doesn't disclaim the nickname. "What were we to do? Agree to their falsehood? Or just stand upon the truth? And we chose truth."

just plain awesome....

When it comes to DIY stuff, the most I can muster is following the directions well enough to bolt a new gadget together. If it comes to actually making all those parts you have to put together I know better than to try. A guy over on Instructables has shown off the coolest Halloween costume ever.

He created a life-size replica of the power loader that Ripley used to fight the alien queen in Aliens. Why he built it is almost as cool as the costume itself. He constructed it to go with the life size alien queen he had already built
