Galloway is knocked out

FIREBRAND MP George Galloway was knocked out cold today when he was hit on the head by a RUBBER ball while he was ranting.

The ex Celebrity Big Brother contestant - on the campaign trail for the London Assembly elections - was roaring through a loudspeaker on the top of an open-top bus when he was struck.

Eyewitnesses said the 53 year old ducked to avoid the ball and banged his head heavily on the side of the bus.

Obama Must Reject Moore's Endorsement

Washington, D.C. (April 22, 2008) -- The Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) today called on Sen. Barack Obama to reject the endorsement of filmmaker Michael Moore.

The Associated Press reported yesterday that Moore endorsed Sen. Obama in a 1,100-word posting on his Web site. Moore wrote, "Can you do me a favor? Will you please cast my vote - and yours - on Tuesday for Senator Barack Obama?"

"Michael Moore has consistently expressed views that are radically anti-American and anti-Israel. Michael Moore has placed a disproportionate blame on Israel for the Palestinian's use of terror and violence and calls Americans an 'ignorant people,' said RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks. "Senator Obama must reject Moore's endorsement. We call on Barack Obama to reject his endorsement to show Michael Moore that this kind of hateful rhetoric will not be tolerated."

Anti-American and Anti-Israel Statements by Michael Moore

"Hey, here's a way to stop suicide bombings - give the Palestinians a bunch of missile-firing Apache helicopters and let them and the Israelis go at each other head to head. Four billion dollars a year to Israel - four billion dollars a year to the Palestinians - they can just blow each other up and leave the rest of us the hell alone." -- Michael Moore

Moore dedicated his book, "Dude Where's My Country?" to Rachel Corrie, an International Solidarity Movement volunteer who was killed when she climbed in front of a Caterpillar bulldozer that was destroying tunnels used by Palestinian terrorists to illegally smuggle weapons from Egypt into Gaza.
In 1990, speaking before the American Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee, Moore announced that he would refuse to attend a screening of his movie, "Roger and Me," which was being held in Jerusalem. He was quoted as saying that he would not attend until Israel ceased to occupy the West Bank and Gaza. (Arab American News, 1990)

Moore tried to prevent Fahrenheit 9/11 from being shown in Israel. (New Yorker Magazine, February 16, 2004)

In an open letter to the German people in Die Zeit, Moore asked, "Should such an ignorant people [as the United States] lead the world? Don't go the American way when it comes to economics, jobs and services for the poor and immigrants. It is the wrong way." (David Brooks in the New York Times, June 30, 2004)

JUST A L'IL JOKE, CHARLES!

Yesterday someone told me about some kiddie book called "The Kapok Tree." Anyone know it?

Supposedly it is about the immense number of tiny ecosystems dependent upon some kapok tree in The Rain Forest, and how terrible it is when Evil Mr. Man cuts the tree down.

I did not jump down this person's throat, but casually observed that kapok has been a valuable farmed product for many, many decades; it has been used as flotation material in life preservers, and it is also used as hypo-allergenic stuffing for pillows for people who do not wish to use feathers or polyester fiberfill. Accordingly, it is unlikely that a kapok tree would be casually cut down.

The highly Green person who was telling about this story was wholly unaware that kapok is a valuable fiber. As I said, I did not point out the strong likelihood that this story she was touting was complete and utter nonsense on the grounds that kapok is commercially valuable, but if anyone knows anything about this book I'd be interested.

The latest ruling about piracy, and the allegations about British conduct in Basra... It's just so damn shameful.

Surgeons give hope to blind with successful 'bionic eye' operations

The device — the first of its kind — incorporates a video camera and transmitter mounted on a pair of glasses. This is linked to an artificial retina, which transmits moving images along the optic nerve to the brain and enables the patient to discriminate rudimentary images of motion, light and dark.

The operations were conducted as part of an international clinical trial of the technology, known as the Argus II retinal implant, which has already proved successful in restoring rudimentary vision to patients who have become blind because of common conditions such as age-related macular degeneration or retinitis pigmentosa.

Does it look something like this?

CHESTERFIELD, S.C. (AP) - An 18-year-old accused of planning to bomb his high school will be charged with attempting to use a weapon of mass destruction, which carries a possible life sentence, the top federal prosecutor in South Carolina said Tuesday.
Ryan Schallenberger also will face two lesser federal charges stemming from what authorities say was a scheme to detonate explosives in a suicide attack on his high school in the small town of Chesterfield. The straight-A student will be charged in federal court in Florence on Tuesday afternoon, said Kevin McDonald, the acting U.S. attorney for South Carolina.

McDonald said the federal charge comes into play mostly because Schallenberger ordered materials that can be used for bombs through the mail.

William Spencer, the teen's court-appointed attorney, did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

The first link I can remember that has the story. I was incredulous and depressed when I heard this. Just a few days later I heard the allegation about why the British soldiers have been so inactive in Basra; deal-striking. I'd require more salt on that story were it not for the fact that such conduct has been proven to be the standard here IN Britain, so it being applied in other areas of our authority isn't much of a stretch.

I actually burned with anger at that moment.

re: #57 Sharmuta

Indeed- Edison was quite the scientist.

Yes - but Edison tried to build DC based distribution, which lost out to AC because AC could carry loads farther from their point of generation. Otherwise, you would have a power plant every few blocks.

So what EC said is actually true - the Edison designed the lightbulb and the rival distribution system evolved in spite of his own efforts.

Adding a new wrinkle, Solar PV electric output is DC. You have to use inverters to have an AC output to go to your house or the grid. Those inverters are a major expense in Solar electricity generation. Those panels can actually facilitate a "power plant very few blocks" configuration for a grid, so Edison's DC vision may come to fruition yet!

One of my favorite scientists was Hiram Maxim, whom Edison felt was such a threat to his business he paid him to leave the country for 10 years. So he went to Europe and invented a couple of things......
