Confused About What Tablet to Buy?
From Androids to Apples, from Samsung, RIM and more, 2011 will be the year of the tablet. We’ve rounded up the best tablets and most notable e-readers you should keep an eye on.
Worth a scroll through, if you are in the market for a Tablet. The iPad is not your only choice. I am crazy about my HTC Droid phone, so I would definitely be looking at the Android tablets, before making up my mind.
Who Really Wrote the Bible?
Fascinating stuff!
Software developed by an Israeli team is giving intriguing new hints about what researchers believe to be the multiple hands that wrote the Bible.
The new software analyzes style and word choices to distinguish parts of a single text written by different authors, and when applied to the Bible its algorithm teased out distinct writerly voices in the holy book.
I can think of a few blogs that would love to have this software to identify all the sockpuppets and multiple name trolls that stink up the place.

Bill Whittle: Walking Into Mordor (Video)
Sorry to have gone dark for over a week, I’ve been sick with some nasty bug my daughter-in-law brought home from Indiana. Clearing tabs today.
Oikophobia—fear and hatred of one’s own culture and people. It has brought down civilizations since there have been civilizations. And now we’re infected, too.
Find out how the negativity and self-loathing of modern Hollywood is just a small gear in the machine that brings down entire nations. What can we do about it? Well, we can walk right into the heart of Mordor and destroy the Ring of Power.

Natural Born Citizen for Dummies (Video)
This video explains everything you need to know about “natural born Citizen.” Through the research of Mario Apuzzo and Leo Donofrio, we can conclude that there is Supreme Court precedent regarding the definition of “natural born Citizen” in Minor v. Happersett (1875). That precedent is NOT affected by the 14th Amendment or by any other case law, including U.S. v. Wong Kim Ark. Visit http://www.deanhaskins.wordpress.com

Catawampus
Catawampus is one of those funny words I used to hear fairly regularly when I was growing up, but I don’t think I’ve heard in at least 45 years. I don’t think I’ve ever seen the word in print, until tonight. It was one of the Dictionary Word of the Day selections. It is such a delightful word and, better yet, it has a similar meaning to my two all time favorite words: askew and awry, both of which make me laugh. They all mean off-center. When I saw it tonight, I thought, now there is a word that has fallen out of style. Little did I know that it is still used, even if my spellchecker doesn’t recognize it as a real word. I found this out when I went to look for some kind of graphic or picture that would demonstrate catawampus. Here are just a few examples of its use:

A New Plushy for Liberals and Children or Is It Liberal Children? (Wink)
Good grief! Does Obama really think all Americans need to distract them from his disastrous administration is some green plushy mascot?

Rep. Issa: Holder ‘Absolutely’ Knew About Fast & Furious Earlier Than He Testified (Video)
If you are not familiar with “Fast and Furious,” it started life as someone’s harebrained idea to run a sting, where legal gun dealers would sell guns to questionable individuals for quesstionable purposes, in other words, to thugs for export to Mexican drug cartels. Yeah! Really really stupid, right? Now, after numerous Mexican police and civilians have been killed with those guns and two of our officers have also died, the whole operation is falling apart and ATF and Justice are falling over each other to cover their moronic asses.
Rep. Darrell Issa discusses Attorney General Eric Holder’s testimony and the investigation into the Justice Department’s “Operation Fast and Furious”. An operation which deliberately let operatives of Mexican drug cartels purchase guns at licensed U.S. firearms dealers and did nothing to intercept the gun purchaser or retrieve the guns even when they were under active surveillance by federal law enforcement officials.

Incrediblle View of 2 Saturn Moons
Via Wired:
This beautiful new image, captured June 16 by NASA’s Cassini orbiter, highlights the stark differences between Saturn’s two largest moons.
Rhea, the grey rock in the foreground, is a cratered, icy world about 950 miles wide. By contrast, Titan, the hazy yellow behemoth in the background, is the largest moon in the solar system at 3,200 miles across.

Piper Palin talks about My Super Summer Vacation
Some people said I should be in school which is kind of what I thought this bus tour was, but more fun. Of course, I’m out of school because kids in Alaska still get summer vacations like in the old days when kids learned things from their parents, and not just the State. Being “schooled” sure wouldn’t hurt some of the people saying how silly a tour of historic American landmarks is. Have they ever taken one?
Anyone who took five minutes out to look up Paul Revere’s own account knows she was right.

Is There Anything More Satisfying than a Good Grilled Cheese Sandwich?
I like to make mine with multiple cheeses inside fresh sour dough bread lathered with butter slabs and parmesan cheese, which when grilled gets a really nice crusty top and bottom. I would be a regular customer at a grilled cheese shop. In fact, if I had any money, I would sign up for the first franchse.
Jonathan Kaplan, former boss of the company that came up with Flip cameras, has raised $10M in venture finance to start a chain of grilled-cheese sandwich restaurants whose unique twist is that you can place your order in advance using a mobile device or computer and get a QR code that you can present when you’re ready to eat.

Bill Whittle: Turncoat Nation (Video)
Bill Whittle does such a good job with his ‘Firewall” videos, but in this one he is particularly intense. As he should be, in my opinion. The path Barack Obama is taking this nation down is against everything we stand for or, at least, that I was brought up to believe we stand for. He is abdicating America from its unique place as #1 in world affairs to totalitarians who want us destroyed. It is crazy dangerous.
And in the news, via Instapundit:
Canada Defends Israel From Obama Administration – Blocks 1967 Line From G8 Statement.
and
LECH WALESA SNUBS OBAMA: “Lech Walesa, Poland’s Solidarity-era legend, ex-president and 1983 Nobel Peace Prize winner said Friday he would not accept an invitation to meet with fellow Nobel winner US President Barack Obama.”
Where are all those foreign leaders that would flock to Bambi’s feet, so happy to be rid of Bush? Some are laughing at us, and some are cautiously watching over their shoulders, wary of when Obama is going to backstab them.

Hi this is Rudy, a Pal2Pal rescue dog. Mason is one tough dog. I know how scary it is to be hurt, lost, cold, and wet, but I never had to deal with two broken legs. Way to go Mason. Could we expect any less from a good looking dog like you. 
Think I’ll go beg a treat and eat it in your name.
Posted by Seventeen lost pyramids among the buildings identified in a new satellite survey of Egypt (Video)
Via Presurfer:
A satellite survey of Egypt has uncovered lost treasures including 17 pyramids and more than 1,000 tombs. Three thousand ancient settlements have also been located by scientists who studied infrared images which allowed them to see underground buildings.
Astounded researchers on the ground have already confirmed that two of the pyramids exist - and they believe there are thousands more unknown sites in the region. Researchers from the University of Alabama, USA, believe that there are many more buildings buried deeper than those already spotted, the most likely location being under the banks of the River Nile.
