A Roman Catholic bishop from Springfield, Ill., who has called the Democratic Party platform “intrinsically evil,” challenged the likes of Sen. Roy Blunt and U.S. Rep. Todd Akin on Sunday to be more like Sir Thomas More, who was beheaded in 1535 after being convicted for treason.
Next step: embedding the chips into the students. Do it for the children!
Weeks after Northside Independent School District in San Antonio rolled out its new “smart” IDs that tracks students’ geographic locations, the community is still at odds with the program.
The “Student Locator Project,” which is slated to eventually reach 112 Texas schools and close to 100,000 students, is in trial stages in two Northside district schools. In an effort to reduce truancy, the district has issued new student IDs with an embedded radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip that tracks the location of a student at all times.
Scientists from Britain and Japan shared a Nobel Prize today for the discovery that adult cells can be transformed back into embryo-like stem cells that may one day regrow tissue in damaged brains, hearts or other organs.

Tucked into the U.S. Supreme Court’s busy agenda this fall is a little-known case that could upend your ability to resell everything from your grandmother’s antique furniture to your iPhone 4. At issue in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons is the first-sale doctrine in copyright law, which allows you to buy and then sell things like electronics, books, artwork and furniture as well as CDs and DVDs, without getting permission from the copyright holder of those products. Under the doctrine, which the Supreme Court has recognized since 1908, you can resell your stuff without worry because the copyright holder only had control over the first sale. Put simply, though Apple has the copyright on the iPhone and Mark Owen does on the book “No Easy Day,” you can still sell your copies to whomever you please whenever you want without retribution.
That’s being challenged now for products that are made abroad and if the Supreme Court upholds an appellate court ruling it would mean that the copyright holders of anything you own that has been made in China, Japan or Europe, for example, would have to give you permission to sell it.
[…]
Another likely result is that it would hit you financially because the copyright holder would now want a piece of that sale.
Georgia Republican congressman Paul Broun tore into scientists as tools of the devil in a speech at the Liberty Baptist Church Sportsman’s Banquet last month.
If you saw the first one and liked it, you get more of the same. If you saw it on video, wait until it comes out of video as well.
If you don’t know anything about TAKEN, you can take a look at this hilarious retelling of the story (warning, coarse language):
PART 1
PART 2
Spoiler alert:
There is a point in the movie where Liam Neeson’s character tells his daughter where to go while driving through the streets of Istanbul, and he keeps looking at a GPS and shouts the directions to his daughter. All throughout this sequence I kept thinking about what it would be like to be driving around in your car with Liam Neeson’s voice shouting directions at you.
The chase sequence in the movie would go on like this: (Neeson) “Faster Kim, faster”, (Daughter) “I can’t, I can’t”, over and over.
I guess if you ever wanted to feel like you are being pursued by a gang of homicidal criminals, you could use his voice.
The end of the movie is so weirdly happy and upbeat, you end up thinking that one of the characters in the movie was going to wake up and realize they are in an insane asylum because of PTSD.
Spoiler ends.
If you are looking for a fix of justice pr0n, go see DREDD instead, it’s much more satisfying.
