A little truth before bed (41)

The Huffington Post | Full News Feed (228) permalink
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin and her Republican supporters held back little Wednesday as they issued dismissive attacks on Barack Obama and flattering praise on her credentials to be vice president. In some cases, the reproach and the praise stretched the truth. Some examples: PALIN: "I have protected the taxpayers by vetoing wasteful spending ... and championed reform to end the abuses of earmark spending by Congress. I told the Congress 'thanks ...Shared by Adam Maldonado (109) Aleyda (13) Billy Levay (3) bobby haye (4) Bryan Irrera (3) Chad (121) Chris Coleman (57) Dave (5) David Kettler (10) Erik (52) George Brickner (37) George Lee (8) Inthenameofmine (361) Isai (9) James Luna (15) Jay Weisberger (1) Jesse (8) Jessica (5) Jon (2) Josh (35) Justin Lamb (8) Lane Montgomery (6) Liz (42) marya (5) mopperx2 (2) Nathan (19) Nigel Eccles (147) Oleg (7) Paul (4) Paul Fischer (9) Peter v (13) Pranjal P (28) Rick (9) rzklkng (60) Scott Stead (2) Shawn Hill (53) Shea Gunther (89) Tim Fabiniak (9) Todd Morris (3) Vasileios Pasparas (20) York (41)Contribute comment - The Washington Independent » The Reform Candidate?

40 Creative Design Layouts: Getting Out Of The Box [PICS] (80)
on
Smashing Magazine (604) permalink
Over the last months we have seen a strong trend towards more individual web designs. These designs use realistic motifs from our regular life, such as hand-drawn elements, script fonts, pins, paper clips, organic textures and scrapbooks. That’s not a big surprise as they manage to serve the function which faceless shiny glassy 3D-buttons completely fail to deliver: convey the individuality and personality. “Personal” designs appear more familiar and more friendly.

The most interesting revelation though is this little nugget: in addition to Epic, RED plans to place Monstro into, "another camera aimed squarely at the DSLR market."

McCain's VP Wants Creationism Taught in School (112)

Wired Science (51) permalink
Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin wants creationism taught in science classes. In a 2006 gubernatorial debate, the soon-to-be governor of Alaska trotted out the usual creationist education canard: "Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of education. Healthy debate is so important, and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both." Teaching evolution and creationism in a scientifically balanced way is simply impossible.

The Hope We Confess (12)

The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan (273) permalink
It was a deeply substantive speech, full of policy detail, full of people other than the candidate, centered overwhelmingly on domestic economic anxiety. It was a liberal speech, more unabashedly, unashamedly liberal than any Democratic acceptance speech since the great era of American liberalism. But it made the case for that liberalism - in the context of the decline of the American dream, and the rise of cynicism and the collapse of cultural unity.

In the arms race between local terrorist groups in Iraq and the US occupying forces, things just got more complicated with the development of the "improvised rocket-assisted mortar." Essentially it's IED 2.0, the next step in homebrew explosives that militant groups use against US forces. Though the IRAMs aren't being used widely yet, what's scary about them is that they're mobile, have really bad aim, and pack a punch that's considerably bigger than a conventional ...Contribute comment
