Mitt Romney frontrunner without Straw Polls is a good thing
It is always nice when my chosen Republican is still the front runner. He wasn't even there instead campaigning at the state fair. He couldn't have won them if he wasn't in them. Bachmann won the Ohio straw poll. Ron Paul Wins Presidential Straw Poll at CPAC for the 2nd year. The other candidates are either too inexperienced (Bachman), too libertarian (paul, Cain), too flamboyant and bouncing off the walls (Newt Gingrich).
The democrats are just playing the class struggle Bolshevik/Frankfurt school card, Democratic National Committee: "As we expect to see tonight, the GOP candidates' extreme aims to appease the far-right wing of the Republican Party shows that Republicans are more concerned with protecting their special interest friends and the wealthy than protecting working families" "Expect the overwhelming majority of the Republicans on the stage tomorrow night to proudly state that they would not have supported the bipartisan debt agreement that prevented our country from defaulting on its debt for the first time in history"

Rush Lambaugh on AM
I hate this, KTLK turned into a stupid sports radio this week. Rush Limbaugh is now only on a fox news network on 1330 AM, and it won't come in well at all. At night, there is no way I can listen to Jason Lewis on AM. I've sent a complaint to St. Croix County prompting whomever/whenever to realign a radio repeater to enhance 1130 AM broadcasts in the county. It's first amendment infringement if I cannot tune into Rush Limbaugh.

Google+
The most popular user on Google+ right now may be Linus Torvalds, founder of the Linux kernel. I got a Google+ account, but none of my Yahoo imported Facebook friends are on it. Google+ won't interface with Facebook itself. Like Blogging, nobody has time to try it out. It is a beta. The beta works fine and didn't crash my browser. The Google + beta doesn't have games so people ignore it so far. I've been a member for three weeks now. The worst aspect of this site is there isn't anyone else to add, because I interfaced with Yahoo.
Whatever happened to Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft games, yet facebook users seemly cannot leave their Mafia Wars or Farmville games or reload pictures.

Quantum Zeno effect apocalyse
For years, scientists have been scouring the cosmos for some kind of bizarre hypothetical anti-gravity bullshit they're calling "dark energy". And they've had some success with it ... perhaps at the expense of our mortal souls.
To grossly simplify it, on a scale smaller than atoms, the quantum level, everything suddenly turns into a goddamn circus. Quantum physics is to regular everyday physics as a David Lynch film is to a mainstream blockbuster. We're talking particles popping in and out of existence, being in two places at the same time, and generally acting like assholes.
No doubt the strangest part is the Quantum Zeno effect, which points out that simply observing and measuring particles changes them (specifically, changing the rate at which they decay). How? No one knows. It appears to be the closest science has ever come to proving black magic exists.
What Could Possibly Go Wrong?
One prominent scientist theorized that the changes caused by simply observing dark energy could cause it to collapse, taking the universe with it.
Scientists, eager to see if this is true, are furiously observing dark energy whenever they get the chance.
So, Basically It's Like...
It's like crossing the streams in Ghostbusters, apparently.
How Long Have We Got?
That scientist, Professor Lawrence Krauss, thinks it may already be underway. Apparently, in the late 90s, scientists were looking at a bunch of shit exploding in space when they caught their first glimpse of some dark energy. This may have put the universe into a state where it may or may not pop like a soap bubble at any given instant. Just because we looked at it. Holy balls.
Risk Level: 3
This ... this can't be right, can it? Surely the guy's just nuts. Then again, he appears to be one of the most prominent physicists in the country and has published a huge list of papers and books on the subject.
Then again, one of them was The Physics of Star Trek and, now that we think about it, we're pretty sure he stole this whole scenario from an episode of The Next Generation.
