I’ll stop with this already.
On a lighter less endy of the worldy note, I’ve really been into the blues lately. Not so much of the Texas “solo forever Stevie Ray” blues, but more of the “Mississippi Delta old black man sittin’ on the porch blues” If you get a chance you should check out any of these fellas thats I’ve been spinnin’ lately.

Hello, let me help you into my mouth madame.
So this story caused a stir yesterday and today when Fox news apparently miss quoted Robotic Technology Inc., the creator of “EATR” a military robotic project that can fuel itself on “biofuel”, by saying that EATR could digest twigs, leaves, and possibly dead human flesh!! After tons of bad press Fox changed the story to reiterate that the creators of EATR intended it only to be vegetarian, and that it is not designed to eat people, only plants.
I understand why this is necessary, the military has been trying to find alternative means of fueling all types of rides for a while now because the average military vehicle is super expensive to fuel and in foreign operations the shipment of fuel to remote places can make a gallon of gasoline in effect cost hundreds of dollars. So it makes sense. Sounds good. But you and I both know, that in this country, if we can do this than we sure as heck can make robot eating people…. er people eating robots And I feel pretty confident in saying that someone has probably already produced a person eating robot.
Maybe we should create a people eating robot controlled remotely by a mind controlled monkey. That way no one would have to feel bad about piloting the people eating robot.

If you google “John Holdren” Obama’s appointee for Science Czar, this is the top story for today:
Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) — Another nominee of President Barack Obama is coming under fire for taking an extreme position in favor of abortion. This time, John Holdren, whom Obama appointed to become Director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, is accused of backing forced abortions and population control.
Holdren will become Assistant to the President for Science and Technology, and Co-Chair of the President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology.
Informally, the position is known as the Science Czar.
In a book Holdren co-authored in 1977, Obama’s nominee wrote that women could be forced to have abortions whether they wanted them or not.
Holdren also said the population at large could be sterilized by infertility drugs put into the nation’s food or water, advocated the taking of babies from single mothers and giving them to couples, and said that people who “contribute to social deterioration,” such as minorities or other so-called undesirables, should be forced to have abortions.
Holdren also called for a “Planetary Regime” that would rely on an international police force to force people in nations across the globe to submit to these forced abortion and other political policies.
Although some skeptics say the claims are untrue, several Internet web sites have published photographs, scans, and transcriptions of pages in the book Ecoscience, where Holdren’s claims originally appear.
Holdren co-wrote the book with Paul Ehrlich and Anne Ehrlich, well known population control advocates.
“The scans and photos are provided to supply conclusive evidence that the words attributed to Holdren are unaltered and accurately transcribed,” pro-life columnist Michelle Malkin says in response. “No one in their right mind would say such things.”
Vision America president Rick Scarborough also commented on the news.
He noted that the term czar originally referred to an autocratic ruler with despotic powers – the very antithesis of democracy.
“That’s the way Obama’s czars operate,” he told LifeNews.com. “His czars are unelected and unaccountable. They have too much money and power, and are remaking America in ways none of us could have imagined.”
Twice a week for the last month and a half I’ve been practicing with this young startup franchise the “Mustard Seeds”. Formed by Rebecca’s brother Colby, and joined by a small force of mustached young misfits, together we take to a genuine baseball diamond for the first time tomorrow replete with dreams of baseball glory. For us to succeed it would really be a rags to riches tale, for many of us are out of shape deskjockies trying to rekindle a love of the game that should have never waned. Our opponents, on the other hand, drink folgers instead of fairtrade and get their meat from the woods. Three games will be held early morning to determine our seeding in the single day tournament, and then the hour long games will continue until a victor is made known later in the evening. One of our first rivals of the day will be the “College Station Ninjas” who will most likely prove to be formidable foes. The word on the wire is that the CSNs are actually the Texas A&M baseball team looking for some practice. But we’re ready, and unlike their prideful hearts…. we have hearts of champions.
The high yesterday was 108 … I’m not used to this.
Tomorrow is the big game for the Mustard Seeds by the way… what’s that you say? You’ve never heard of the mysterious and most excellent softball organization known as the Majestic Mustard Seeds? Well after tomorrows tournament you’ll be readin’ about it in the Sundie paper!
