Somali Muslim militants threaten Somali Muslim pirates over capture of Saudi Arabian tanker. A Somali Muslim civil war may be in the works.

Democrats mulling several hundred million stimulus and tax cut. Tax cut? This tells us that Democrats do in fact understand that cutting taxes makes the economy stronger, and their typical tax-raising policies weaken America. Obama showed the same knowledge when he said he would raise capital gains taxes out of some misguided idea of fairness even though it would cut revenues. Democrats understand the harmful consequences of their policies. The only logical conclusion is that Democrat policies are intended to harm America. Obama will request a stimulus package much bigger than the $175 billion he campaigned on. Isn't it funny how debt is bad when Republicans are building it but when Democrats build it, it's called investment? These boondoggle Keynesian plans just hurt the country more by adding to our debt.

Oh, no. Obama and Democrats fully intend to implement their new New Deal with $700 billion in new stimulus over the next 2 years. These guys are intent on dragging us into a second Great Depression. This is what moderates are calling moderate and sensible from Obama's "centrist" economic team.

And Democrats and their accomplices in the mainstream media are creating a new Big Lie to draw a parallel to support their call for this new New Deal - the US doesn't spend enough on infrastructure, and that's why it's crumbling and we need savior Obama to change that. That's baloney. The Federal Highway Administration has an annual budget of $35.5 billion. That's more than enough money to maintain our infrastructure (though I'm sure government is wasting most of it). And if that's really not enough, I'm sure we can find enough money by cutting boodoggle programs in our $700 billion non-military discretionary funding to fix our infrastructure.

Chuck Shumer calls it a new New Deal. Obama is going to be just as bad as I feared.

Now the government is going to bail out Citigroup. They're making us numb to it so they can steal all our money and power. Republicans opened the door to this new bailout mentality. Democrats are seizing the moment to give handouts to every constituency they have. And there's never an end to Democrat constituents who need money. The Democrats may drive us so deeply into depression that we never escape before the entitlement crisis hits, destroying the country.

Solar wind rips off chunks of Martian atmosphere. That's because Mars's core is no longer molten, so Mars doesn't have a strong magnetic field like Earth to deflect the magnetic field. Any future plans to terraform Mars will have to include the ability to replace atmosphere lost to the solar wind. And the atmosphere will have to somehow protect from radiation too.

Machine condenses water out of air. Sounds like a dehumidifier to me.
