Obama Asked "Why Do People Hate You?" By Fourth Grader (VIDEO)

OUT OF MOUTHS OF BABES
At a town hall meeting in New Orleans Thursday a fourth-grader asked the question that has probably been on many people's minds as they witnessed the rage that has been directed at Obama these last few months: "Why do people hate you?" The young man seemed genuinely concerned, and he went on to tell Obama that "They supposed to love you." Obama responded by giving the young man a hug while saying, "That's what I'm talking about." Then came the hard part of actually answering his question.

A Nobel for Defeating Cheneyism - Rasmussen Reports™

GETTING DICK
Outraged babble and sanctimonious tut-tutting over Obama's Nobel Peace Prize will pour forth until the very evening he accepts the prize in Oslo, and then for years afterward. If the hotheads understood how Obama actually did earn the prize, in the minds not only of the Norwegians but presumably most of the world's inhabitants, their fury might reach nuclear levels.

Bedazzler - DIY non-lethal weaponry

BEDAZZLING!
After attending a conference where a $1 million "sea-sick flashlight" named the Dazzler was demonstrated by Homeland Security, these guys decided to create their own version, which they did, for under $250. This site teaches you how to build your own, along with links to the source code, schematics and other useful items. They've even added a "mode" selection so you can put it into some pretty color-swirl modes. Great for raves and parties! Now, where did I put my sucker.
