It's a jumble out there.

silveradeptYet another late-night posting. These need to stop, but apparently the "interesting-times" curse is up and running at full force. This is not a good sign to have running parallel to your projects starting to appear. Hopefully, it all resolves and sorts out nicely, but this time, it's going to take the cooperation of others to do that, and I'm not entirely sure they're all on board for it.
In links: Rampaging weather ahoy - after the quakes in Hawai'i, we get the monsoons on Texas, with tornadoes and flooding and the like.
Following forward from the article of last night, the Dems are going for the pretteh factor. Yet another thing to vote for, rather than issues.
The "stupid criminals" file gains another entry - a would-be thief's robbery is foiled when the clerk realizes his gun is a toy.
Transforming costumes. Pretty neat. Question is, will they do that with someone inside, and can that person stay inside it without contortionist problems? From what's there - apparently, the answer is yes. Which means extra props for the designer and those that use the costume.
I pop an eye at this particular piece, because of the writing style. If someone could find something in a little less familiar, it's be fantastic. But apparently Secret Service are harassing teens over Myspace pages. On more serious notes, an American member of Al-Qaeda is charged with treason, and an attorney is given 28 months jail time for helping a sheik pass massages.
The next time you go to see some terra-cotta soldiers, check carefully. Some of them might be pregnant. That's right - pregnant terra-cotta soldiers. War costs more than just men.
Net-users will defend themselves when threatened. Here's a little bit about net neutrality that demonstrates that protective instinct.
A Colombian television show tackles an issue that a lot of girls in the U.S. might want to see - is getting bigger boobs a ticket to happiness?
Last call is a pairwise for tonight, putting together two seemingly disparate things - The making of a Zombie Culture, which says that television and mass media conspire to keep the populace ignorant and hypnotised, rather than well-informed, and a poll where 81% of those polled think the government is hiding or lying to the people about foreknowledge of 9/11. Is that a result of the media coverage, that's starting to shift into the consciousness that not everything is necessarily all the way true (but it was done for good reasons), or the populace running into alternate sources and informing themselves of the things that don't make sense?
Right. Too early in the morning for more, so bed now.
