About filth thresholds. Men have higher filth thresholds. Women will always WANT something to be cleaned earlier on than a man will. Hence, so much hostility around cleaning things. I don't think it's dirty, I'm not going to clean it all on my own. You think it's dirty and would like my help cleaning it, just ask! But we won't do it on our own.

News: NASA 'Puffin' is coolest vehicle since jetpack
Might even be cooler. Stand up helicopter can go horizontal after take-off for speedy (130-300 mph) travel and then land again vertically. Solo flight, 50 mile radius, BATTERY powered.
You know what, nevermind. I don't want a jetpack for Christmas anymore.
Op-Ed: Build transit, not roads, to boost jobs
Building public transportation makes more jobs than building/fixing roads. Wired asks Congress to note this fact when passing the Jobs for Main Street Act.
SCOTUS: Eases restrictions on campaign spending for corporations
We should be STRENGTHENING these limits, not easing them!
Corporations should not be given the power to use profits to influence politics. Individuals, fine...money is speech. Not sure I agree, but fine. But corporations?
Corporations are treated as people, though they shouldn't be. A business makes money from people buy selling products and services these people want. But buying these things is NOT a representation that they also support the businesses political leaning/ambitions. The business should not be treated as a person in this case and there should be NO political contributions from it.
The owner and shareholders of said business should be able to spend their own money freely and openly for whatever political campaign they choose.
Or at least they should be able to for the purposes of this argument.
News: McCain's wife, daughter back CA pro-gay marriage movement
The daughter isn't so surprising, as she's quite publicly pro-gay marriage. The wife surprised me though.
News: John Edwards admits fathering child
Knew he was too good to be true. All sorts of girls falling head over heels for him...just had to know something wasn't quite right. Sure enough...
Study: Youth spend 7 hours 38 minutes online daily
Like a freakin job. How about you quit that and learn a skill, like underwater basket weaving?

Risque: Singapore pub offers women free drinks based on bra size
No joke. Probably would be illegal here in the states, but for Singapore, apparenlty OK? The promotion allows A-cup patrons one free drink, B-cups two, C-cups three, and D-cups can claim a free bottle of vodka.
Play: Halo (Wed-Thurs) and Bungie will donate to Red Cross/Haiti
You have to wear a specific emblem (red heart with white circle background), but Bungie will donate $0.10 for every player who plays. Basically $100 for every thousand up to $77,000 dollars...all for playing a game. So do your part will ya?

Report: NFL games have about 11 minutes of true action per game
A typical broadcast is nearly 3 hours. 11 minutes of action, what else is going on? Well, over an hour of commercials helps. 67 minutes of players just standing around and preparing for the snap, and 17 minutes of replays. That's what.
Oh...and before you get all feminista on me...no, cheerleaders are not a big part of the telecase. In fact, half the games studied didn't show cheerleaders at all. Not once. The rest....averaged 3 seconds on camera. Usually as they go to commercial on time. So calm down.
It really is wait, wait, wait, 4 second play, wait, wait, wait, 4 second play. That sort of thing.
Rumor: Leno back on Tonight; Conan paid, NO non-compete clause
Conan gets a big fatty check and gets to appear on any other network without restrictions. Leno will take back the tonight show.
I'm not sure what kind of money would be worth taking the disrespect of having Leno need to take the Tonight Show back, but I'm guess it was a big ole number. Minus some for the non-compete clause being missing from said deal.
But please...Conan....stay off Fox.
