The Flag Of Pure Bliss is “an average of the flags of the 200-plus countries of the Old World (2009), weighted by population, levels-adjusted to improve contrast and reduce the preponderance of red.” Pretty cool…

President Obama, It’s Time To Fire the TSA [Gizmodo] Posted: 29 Dec 2009 05:42 AM PST “it’s a failure. It’s wrongheaded. It’s a farce. Tear it down.

The American people are ready to take back the responsibility for our own safety. Really, we already have.” Word.

Whaddaya Mean Obama Hasn’t Done Anything? [Esquire] Posted: 28 Dec 2009 10:26 AM PST “…both sides are so angry and righteous that they can’t even begin to give credit where it is due. When was the last time you heard a conservative cheer about that $288 billion tax cut? Or credit Obama for the centrism it took to appoint McChrystal, Panetta, and Gates? And how many liberals choose to be understanding about the practical difficulties of shutting down Guantánamo, achieving equal rights for gays, or tapping Al Qaeda’s phones? And where, on either side, can you find a scrap of humility about the staggeringly complex challenge of Afghanistan and Pakistan? Or a scrap of gratitude at having escaped global financial doom? So the question, a year since we elected him, isn’t how much Obama has accomplished. The question is why we’ve turned so small and mean that we only see half of it — the half we happen to agree with.”

Eric Loewen’s Disposal of Nuclear Waste [Esquire] Posted: 22 Dec 2009 11:22 AM PST “The miracle solution goes by different names: the sodium fast reactor, the integral fast reactor, the liquid-metal-cooled reactor. It burns nuclear waste, emits no CO2, and shuts itself down in an accident. We have enough fuel to power the whole world for tens of thousands of years. It will end global warming, and even if global warming is just another paranoid Armageddon fantasy, it will save us from the dying oceans and starvation and resource wars that are inevitable as the world’s energy supply dwindles. It will unleash new industries and revitalize America’s manufacturing industry.”

Thank you Google for the SLOOOW Internet [Royal Pingdom] Posted: 18 Dec 2009 05:19 AM PST “by making airport Wi-Fi free [at some airports] for everyone, and apparently not upping capacity, Google has essentially crippled access for everyone instead. No one is getting a good connection. If Google weren’t sponsoring the Wi-Fi access, fewer would be using it and performance would be better. People who are ready to pay for decent Internet access while waiting for their flight, like our colleagues, can’t.”
