Weaponized Avian Flu
Dr. Laibow reports that Avian Flu has been weaponized. Dr. Laibow has an interesting comparison between the 1918 Flu and the Avian Flu that could be of use.
Airport Security
It was inevitable. CBS news in Chicago is reporting on various TSA screening incidents such as women being forced to remove nipple rings in public. They will continue to do this until someone stops them.
Oh, and I told you so.

Texas Investor: $300 Oil
Scaring the public with $300/barrel oil predictions , T. Boone Pickens tours the US promoting his plan to avoid this: cars run gas, all electricity produced by wind power.
Where will the US get all this wind power from? Wind farms, built along a path in the US that stretches from Mexico to Canada. The land the wind farms will be built from will be seized from citizens using eminent domain.
“I think we’re talking eminent domain,” Pickens told reporters after the hearing, referring to the practice in which the government sometimes seizes private property with monetary compensation. He said bringing the power to the coasts would take an effort similar to former president Dwight Eisenhower’s building of the national highway system during the Cold War. Reuters.com
Browsing bills by date
Browsing through the Library of Congress website is a pain. I just found out that it is possible to “just browse” by using the search term “bill,” since all the bills obviously contain the word “bill.” Unfortunately, it does not allow you to sort by date for ease of browsing and limits you to 1,000 results. Luckily, their new beta site is not as restrictive. If you search for the search term “bill,” it will show you everything. You can then sort by date, and read the bills as you would a blog. Go ahead and make a comment about the beta, and ask them to add browsing. According to their FAQ, they are adding RSS feeds too, in case you want to keep track of new bills.
The trouble with E Ink newspapers
Tech-On! reports that E Ink newspapers will start being sold late this year. The idea is to have a dynamic newspaper for people to read. I can’t help thinking that we are just making the job of the Ministry of Truth a little easier than it used to be. Before, old newspapers with “faulty” information had to be destroyed to make way for the new newspapers. Now, they can just be updated as needed.
