Meh. Top 10’s Are for Late Night Talk Shows Anyway
After seven straight years of decline, the US has dropped out of the list of top 10 most economically free countries.
SUCH a relief to finally be able to relax without all that pressure to keep up our winning streak.

Wisdom of the Day: Kids Operation Future Chinese
Jealous that when my kids look up nostalgic videos from THEIR youth on YouTube decades from now, they'll all be 1080p.

Separating conjoined twins is a complicated operation. That's why when I explain the risks to you both, I need your undivided attention.

Let’s Tweak That Tech
The US Border Patrol is now using wireless camera-equipped robots to search the tunnels that smugglers use to sneak things across the border.
Sounds like what we really need is a robot than can brick up a tunnel entrance.
Obama Warned Us – Differences
Now, I’m not naive. I never thought that the mere fact of my election would usher in peace and harmony — and some post-partisan era. I knew that both parties have fed divisions that are deeply entrenched. And on some issues, there are simply philosophical differences that will always cause us to part ways. These disagreements, about the role of government in our lives, about our national priorities and our national security, they’ve been taking place for over 200 years. They’re the very essence of our democracy.
BARACK OBAMA, State of the Union Address, Jan. 27, 2010
“But the other essence of democracy is ‘winner take all’. I won, and now I’m a-takin'”
Straight Line of the Day: Obama’s New Ambassador to Norway Made Several Erroneous Statements About the Country, Including…
Works like this: I feed you Moon Nukers a straight line, and you hit me with a punch line in the comments.
Obama’s new ambassador to Norway made several erroneous statements about the country, including…
Coca-Cola hacked!
You heard about the data breach at Target. Then, the one at Neiman-Marcus. But now, Coca-Cola has been hacked.
Think about that for a minute. You might have Coca-Cola in your refrigerator. Which means there’s hackers in your house. Or your Westinghouse!
And, if you don’t, there’s still the chance you’ve ordered a Coke at a drive-thru. That means you ended up with a Quarter Pounder, Large Fries, and Russian Hacker in the bag.
Hit the break room at work? Put a dollar in the machine, and it dispenses a security threat in a 20-oz bottle.
There’s no hiding any more. Hackers are in your wallet, on your Facebook and Google machine, and now in your soft drinks.
The only place they haven’t hacked is your bathroom. When that happens, it’s really going to hit the fan.
Random Thoughts: Who and Appealing to Youths
What if Gmail is down forever? That would be like getting amnesia.
Staring to watch Dr. Who. Disappointed it’s not about an owl surgeon.
Do we eventually get backstory like seeing Mr. Who go to spacetime medical school?
Actually, if you own a pet owl and don’t name him “Dr. Who,” you’re probably the next Hitler.
So who is the second most famous Hitler?
I have an idea to make the GOP appeal to today’s youth: put sunglasses on their elephant symbol. That will be one million dollars.
The typical workday scene nowadays are weary programmers slaving away at computers while they sing in unison coding shanties.
Practically Human
Researchers using a Japanese supercomputer managed to simulate 1 second of human brain activity, but it took the machine 40 minute to do it.
So… sorta like waiting for Joe Biden to get to the point of a story.
