Let me just say one more time that Sienna Miller looks insanely hot as Baroness DeCobray. (The Baroness is actually the only reason I read the comics as a teenager)
One more thing - Now that Hollywood can effectively CGI powered armor maybe they could remake Starship Troopers and actually follow the frickin' book this time and wipe that Veerhooven piece of shit from all memory.
Now on to the rest of the show.
Betsy brings us some semi-related content:
The IDF Ground Forces Command has declared the Trophy anti-tank missile defense system operational, following a series of tests last week that surpassed expectations for the system's capabilities, it was revealed on Thursday.
The Trophy system, developed by Rafael, creates a hemispheric protected zone around armored vehicles such as the Merkava tank, which operated prominently in Lebanon. The system is designed to detect and track a threat and counter it with a launched projectile that intercepts the anti-tank missile.

Kenneth Gladney, a 38-year-old conservative activist from St. Louis, said he was attacked by some of those arrested as he handed out yellow flags with “Don’t tread on me” printed on them. He spoke to the Post-Dispatch from the emergency room of the St. John’s Mercy Medical Center, where he said he was waiting to be treated for injuries to his knee, back, elbow, shoulder and face that he suffered in the attack. Gladney, who is black, said one of his attackers, also a black man, used a racial slur against him before the attack started.

listen to the SEIU guy (Goatee with Health Care '09 shirt). "He attacked America so we attacked him". Apparently disagreeing with Obama is now tantamount to attacking America. (time count 1:02). That said I have the same problem with this tape that I do with a lot of the supposed police brutality tapes. It starts in the middle of the action. I would like to see what was going on 2 or 3 minutes before hand.

Powerline - Good News From Pakistan
The head of the Taliban in Pakistan, Baitullah Mehsud, was killed Wednesday by a missile strike from an unmanned drone in remote northwestern Pakistan. Taliban leaders are meeting to choose a successor, but they won't say where because, they say, they "they fear[] another drone strike." That's good.
Mrs. Peels Words of Wisdom - Liberalism in Harry Potter -
Rowling’s take on muggles looks an awful lot like liberalism’s take on the “poor and disenfranchised” – filled with mythological rhapsodizing (see Mr. Weasley’s obsession) in the abstract and patronizing dismissal in the specific.
