Ecademy: "Parliament Square was an interesting place to be yesterday evening. Whitechapel was blocked by hundreds of police, riot police, horses and police vans, all protecting George Bush from hearing what the British Public think of his actions."
Scroll down to the last photo; looks like someone with a licence to kill. The protection of a war criminal has a high priority. It's even worse where Britain still wants to have a part in ruling the world.
ICH: "Dispatches reveals how key politicians at the heart of the vicious fighting in Somalia - described as the world's worst humanitarian crisis - enjoy incredibly close links to Britain. They have British or EU passports, their families live here and they commute between Somalia and homes in English cities. British taxpayers are financing them in the name of democracy - yet in Somalia they are linked to allegations of mass murder, torture, extortion and corruption."
BoingBoing: "Starting this month, the Los Angeles Metro Metrolink will be infected with some super-neat security theater: random bag searches will inconvenience the new crop of MTA riders who are turning to Metro to escape high gas prices.
The thing is, the searches will 'randomly' target different stations, where signs will announce to everyone (except, presumably, illiterate terrorists) that they should go to a different station if they don't want to be searched.
Explain to me again how this makes us safer?"
AlterNet: "If there is a President Obama come next Jan. 20, normal folks better brace for what the right-wing crazies have in mind. Because it's becoming clear that they are winding themselves up now for a fresh spate of violence if Obama wins.
In any event, a pattern is already developing, ranging from the Klan fellows who promise that Obama will be shot to the white supremacists who are actually rooting for him to win because they're certain he will fail. We're hearing a lot of language from the racist and 'Patriot' right indicating that they expect a Democratic president to enact policies (particularly regarding gun control) that will inspire 'civil war'. Which means they are looking for excuses to act out."
I wonder what the protection will be Obama will get from the security forces when he becomes president.

TechOn: "Genepax Co Ltd explained the technologies used in its new fuel cell system "Water Energy System (WES)," which uses water as a fuel and does not emit CO2.
The system can generate power just by supplying water and air to the fuel and air electrodes, respectively, the company said at the press conference, which took place June 12, 2008, at the Osaka Assembly Hall.
Unlike the direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), which uses methanol as a fuel, the new system does not emit CO2."
There is enough reason to doubt that water in itself can generate power. The company does not explain how it is supposed to work and they are asking for money to develop the motor.
Huffington: "I think it's important to explain why it is almost certainly not what it claims to be, or at least why with such extraordinary claims, we should wait for extraordinary evidence before being convinced that this is real.
Water is not an energy source, nor is hydrogen."
