“The One” advert have a deeper message?
Well some of the paranoid progressives seem to think so. They are actually suggesting that the new advert is trying to convince people Obama is the anti-Christ. I suppose it beats the normal “racist” bleating from the Obama camp.

Activists Protest America’s Army Game With Songs, Stickers
Ubisoft felt the full force of San Francisco’s two dozen or so most dedicated daytime protesters Wednesday, as the mostly ruly mob descended upon the gamemaker’s headquarters to have a good old-fashioned demonstration. At issue was the company’s Xbox 360 version of America’s Army.
Yet again we see the far-left trying to limit people’s personal choice. If I were Ubisoft I would have just laughed in these people’s faces and told them to go away.
Update: The angry response from those criticised is beyond pathetic but amusing.
No commentsConservatives just don’t get it..still
As the Conservatives drift towards power they also drift back to their authoritarian ways. Instead of telling you what to do they want to nudge you to do the right thing. Needless to say those authoritarian lovers at Conhome are all over this as well as Guido and Devil’s Kitchen. The more I see of Cameron and his brood the less I like. A bunch of meddling Tories in government are no better a bunch of meddling socialists.
Now we know why David Davis left the cabinet. He was probably banned from using the word freedom. None of his other colleagues seem to manage the word.
Melissa Kite is not impressed.

Speaking of Cthulhu, one can see the influence of HP Lovecraft in the most recent Stephen King project called “N”. Its on iTunes and it is rather good one has to say.
No commentsSwords Cut Both Ways
Some 900 days after I became the only person in the Western world charged with the offence of republishing the Danish cartoons of Muhammad, the government has finally acquitted me of illegal discrimination. Taxpayers are out more than $500,000 for an investigation that involved fifteen bureaucrats at the Alberta Human Rights Commission. The legal cost to me and the now-defunct Western Standard magazine is $100,000.The case would have been thrown out long ago if I had been charged in a criminal court, instead of a human rights commission. Thats because accused criminals have the right to a speedy trial. Accused publishers at human rights commissions do not.
And if I had been a defendant in a civil court, the judge would now order the losing parties to pay my legal bills. Instead, the Edmonton Council of Muslim Communities wont have to pay me a dime. Neither will Syed Soharwardy, the Calgary imam who abandoned his identical complaint against me this spring.
Both managed to hijack a secular government agency to prosecute their radical Islamic fatwa against me – the first blasphemy case in Canada in over 80 years. Their complaints were dismissed, but it is inaccurate to say that they lost: They got the government to rough me up for nearly three years, at no cost to them. The process I was put through was a punishment in itself – and a warning to any other journalists who would defy radical Islam.
Ezra needs to drag these thugs into a real court and have them explain why they don’t owe him every penny he’s had to put out, along with some hefty punitive damages. Until the complainants (and the spineless politicians who enable them) realize there are real and negative consequences for this type of abusive behavior, we’ll just see more and more of it.

GrrlScientist presents Evolution of the Enigmatic Eclectus posted at Living the Scientific Life, saying, “Birds are highly visual animals, like humans and other apes, so their plumage color evolves because it serves as a signal to other birds, especially when choosing a mate. Plumage color and ornamentation also correspond to the birds’ mating system: long-lived monogamous birds that mate for life are often sexually monochromatic, while polygynous birds where the males do not assist in parental care are very strongly dichromatic. So, based on that information, what would you predict for the reverse situation where the females of the species are brilliantly colored while the males are cryptically colored?”
