  1. speaking of unmanned drones,

    did anyone catch that youtube video with
    chessmaster turned politician Gary Kasparov?

    he was giving a speech when his bodyguards start
    getting nervous from a buzzing sound,
    soon enough a radio controlled miniature helicopter
    comes into view.

    …but this is no ordinary little helicopter,
    it’s got a rubber penis strapped to it and it’s
    heading right for Kasparov’s head!

    finally, one of the body guards swats the pesky
    schlong to the floor,
    to his credit, Kasparov quips that it’s only his
    opponents showing their true selves.

    lol,
    Russian Politics, gotta love it.

  2. Re the “upcoming terrorist threat,”First of all, they don’t know for sure. Secondly, it is their job to present the worst case scenarios in their reports- counter-intelligence is no place for optimism. It also stresses the constant need to be vigilant and improve our security systems. That said, no intelligence group is ever going to be 100% able to prevent a terrorist attack. That’s just the reality and the real problem is our expectations that we can be 100% successful. We want to live in a free country but the kind of anti-terrorism guarantees we want, could very well mean rethinking exactly what we mean by “free.”

  3. …hi, I’m back,

    just had;

    “two all beef patties,
    special sauce
    lettuce
    cheese
    mustard
    pickles
    onions
    on a sesame seed bun…”

    maybe if they were unionized, it wouldn’t have taken
    4 hours to place get the order right!

    dibs,

    just a thought,
    this administration sees fit to give the foreign underwear bomber constitutional/miranda rights
    but they choose to give marines who slapped an al quaeda murderer a military tribunal and court martial…
    yeah, that makes sense!

  4. Did you all know this???????

    The U.S. will recieve its first shipment of LNG from Yemen this month. It will pass through boston harbour into GDF Suez’s massachusetts terminal at the end of February.

    I’d steer clear of boston for a while.
