The rebels have been busy. The G8 is stalling. Libyan loyalist are busy as well. UN involvement seems to be a damned if you do, damned if you don't prospect right now.

being called the "Free Libyan Air Force" (never heard of it before today) has attacked the Libyan Navy off Ajdabiya, and 2 Libyan warships are on fire - sinking, while a third warship is said to have been damaged." See: http://www.informationdissemination....hter-jets.html |

Sounds like a "yeeehaw!!!" brigade of guerrilla jet fighters. Just having them in the air is pretty impressive given the logistics required for it.

While the rest of the world twiddles its thumbs trying to figure out how to avoid getting their hands dirty, these guys swoop in like big damn heroes and provide a huge tactical morale boost to the rebels. I'm not sitting in a movie theatre, am I?

Palin this Palin that.........
It's all speculation. I learned my lesson last election cycle, I'm sticking to the primaries and then spending the time reading up on the people until the election. No debate, no convention it;s all a politcal dog and pony show preach to the choir love fest. |

People can hate on Obama all they want but you would have to be really, really delusional to think Palin is the best candidate to "fix" whatever "problems" from Obama. |

Palin would be as incompetent as Obama is right now, and we cannot handle another 4 years of incompetence. Honestly though, I'd rather see Ron Paul run. Yes I know he's deeply controversial, but I'm not seeing anything positive coming out of the economic policies or proposals from either the Dems or the Repubs. Perhaps its time to give the Libertarians a try? The fractional reserve banking system is clearly broken, and the fiat money system has run its course, so why not give the liberal-economist types their day and give their economic proposals a whirl. We're already in debt up to our eyeballs, it's not like they're going to make it any worse than the corporatist Repubs or pseudo-socialist Dems (unless you're a billionaire international-banker). Joe Manchin is a rising favorite of mine right now. The man seems like an actual Liberal, and that's rare these days. If he ran for President on the Democratic ticket, I would certainly vote for him.

Hadron Collider 'could act as telephone for talking to the past'
"Spurs-a-jingle boffins in America say that the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), most
puissant matter-rending machine ever assembled by humanity, may also turn out to be the first time machine ever built. According to the physicists' calculations, instruments at the mighty particle-smasher may soon detect signs of "singlets" which it has not yet generated, sent back from their creation in the future. "Our theory is a long shot," admits physics prof Tom Weiler, "but it doesn’t violate any laws of physics or experimental constraints."" See: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2011/03...inglet_theory/ |
