Twitter Ends List Service After Liberal Favoritism Exposed
Twitter will finally end their list service that blatantly favors liberal politicians while excluding conservative ones.
The list service in question provides new Twitter users with lists of users they might like to follow — like say…other liberals.
It should be very disturbing to all Americans that powerful companies like Google and now Twitter constantly show favoritism and shill for left-wingers.
Google is in bed with the Obama administration and now Twitter is trying to influence political races. It’s outrageous.
It’s inconceivable to me how a successful company based in California can honestly want liberal democrats elected to anything. It’s bizarre. California is in total collapse after decades of leftist economic and environmental policies. Taxes are driving business out of the state at record numbers.
But for some reason companies like Google, Twitter, Apple, etc. want more of the same. They want to give more of their profits to the federal government. They want more environmental regulations to squeeze their businesses. They want to lose more freedom.
I just don’t get it. Are they just ideological Kool-Aid drinkers or is it something else? What am I missing?
Apple Quits Chamber Of Commerce Over Phony Climate Change
Apple made a big show of quitting the U.S. Chamber of Commerce today, because the business group refuses to drink the Kool-Aid and embrace Al Gore’s junk science.
Apple Inc on Monday became the latest company to quit the U.S. Chamber of Commerce because the technology company disagrees with the business group’s climate change policy.
"We would prefer that the chamber take a more progressive stance on this critical issue and play a constructive role in addressing the climate crisis," Catherine Novelli, a vice president of government affairs at Apple, wrote in a letter dated Monday to the business group.
Novelli wrote that Apple resigned its membership in the business group "effective immediately."
Last month three big power utilities, Exelon Corp, PG&E Corp and PNM Resources Inc, said they were leaving the chamber over the group’s stance on climate.
Everyone knows the Apple folks are a bunch of tree-hugging libs — so this is no great shock. What I find amusing and even a little disturbing are the power utilities who left The Chamber.
How bizarre is it that power companies are embracing an ideology that seeks to shut them down? I can’t believe they could really buy into the climate change BS. I suspect this is about politics. They figure if they pretend to tow the line maybe Obama won’t regulate them out of business. Sadly, they’re mistaken. The environmental whack jobs are running wild right now and they’ll destroy our country if given the chance.
Global warming is phony and the science behind it is phony. The environmental extremist movement has nothing to do with the environment, and everything to do with redistribution of wealth and “social justice”.
The earth is actually cooling right now — not warming.
That said, I plan to embrace the green movement by saving some, and not buying any Apple products.
Video: New ‘Taser X3’ Can Take Down Three Targets Without Reloading
Notice the very petite girl they nailed with this thing in the video. If she can take it then people need to quit crying about taser use. It’s the most effective non-lethal device being used today.
Come to think of it, we should have used a taser for interrogations at Gitmo — that’s right, I said it.

D.C. Homeless Have Cell Phones And Blogs
The Washington Post has an interesting article about the homeless in our nation’s capital. The article claims that between 30% and 40% of D.C.’s homeless have cell phones, email addresses, and many even have blogs.
To the usual trappings that help many homeless people endure life on the streets — woolen blankets, shopping carts or cardboard box shelters — add the humble cellphone.
Today, it’s not unusual for the homeless to whip out Nokia 6085 GoPhones (with optional Bluetooth and USB connectivity), stop at a public computer to check e-mail or urge friends to read their blogs.
This is the kind of thing that is almost too outrageous to be outraged about. I get why a prepaid cell would be useful to set up job interviews and what not, but blogs? Come on now, stop playing.
If you’re sleeping on the street, but you maintain a blog that you encourage people to follow I’ve got no sympathy for you. If you have time to blog, you have time to get off your ass and get a job.
Only in America could the most destitute among us have cell phones and blogs. The poorest people in America don’t even come close to the kind of poverty people experience in other countries.
So all the liberal America bashers out there like John “that’s not my baby” Edwards should really just pipe down. Edwards should get together an email list of all the homeless so he can let them know he’s going on another “poverty tour.”

Obama Forced To Give Up Blackberry When He Takes Office
It never occurred to me that Barack Obama would have to surrender his Blackberry and give up email when he takes office. Given the way his campaign was run and the extent to which he himself uses technology day to day, I assumed that would continue in the White House. Surprisingly, nothing could be further from the truth.
American presidents are simply not allowed to use email or carry electronic devices such as cell phones or Blackberrys. The security risk is just too great. With today’s technology there’s just no way to be sure a president’s email is 100% secure. One of the things President Bush is looking forward to is sending emails again once he leaves office — as he hasn’t sent one in 8 years.
Even though President Obama isn’t gonna be firing off emails or blogging on MySpace, he will to his credit be the first President to use a laptop in the oval office.
As a certified Blackberry addict and Internet junkie myself, I cannot imagine being unplugged for years at a time.

The U.S. Is Right Not To Join Cluster Bomb Ban
The United States, China, Russia, Israel, and a few others, are right not to join the 110 countries in signing the treaty to ban cluster munitions from the battlefield.
Cluster Bombs are a potent weapon that the U.S. military should continue to use whenever necessary. Human rights organizations which are of course championing this ban are not taking into account new technologies in cluster munitions.
The biggest complaint by human rights groups is the tendency of cluster bombs to leave unexploded bomblets scattered across a wide area. Years after a conflict has ended these bomblets remain lethal and can detonate at anytime and frequently kill civilians.
This is a legitimate concern and one the U.S. military has already addressed. The U.S. has recently begun using a brand new cluster bomb called the CBU-97 SFW. The SFW stands for “Sensor Fused Weapon” and it contains dozens of “smart” bomblets.
When the bomb is dropped, the outer casing comes apart and releases the sub-munitions (bomblets) across a wide area just like a traditional cluster bomb. The difference with the new SFW is that each bomblet has a sensor inside it that immediately scans the area and hones in on a target and kills it.
However, if the bomblet scans the area and fails to find a target it simply self-destructs in mid-air leaving behind a “clean” battlefield.
A single CBU-97 SFW can kill everything inside in area roughly the size of a football field and leave no unexploded bomblets behind.
This new cluster bomb is only the beginning of the technologies we’ll have in the future, so there is simply no reason to join in any kind of ban on cluster bombs.

Mars Spacecraft Successfully Lands On Mars
NASA’s Phoenix spacecraft has successfully touched down on Mars.
Phoenix will be the first spacecraft to study the arctic plains on Mars’ north pole. The craft has a robotic arm that will drill into the Martian ice and retrieve samples which will be analyzed and studied remotely from earth.
Scientists will try to determine if the permafrost has the ingredients needed for life to emerge.

Google Maps Catches Chicago Kid About To Shoot Another Kid
Those rascals at Google are constantly dealing with the unintended consequences of their controversial but really cool Google Maps/Street Scenes.
When you zoom to “street view” in one part of Chicago, what comes up is interesting to say the least. It looks like the Google team accidentally captured a shooting in progress.
The image shows a kid aiming a pistol at another kid (a much smaller kid) as he’s running away.
Click HERE to see this unique “Street view” in all its “gangsta” glory.
