It's Like Flashing DRUDGE Lights...But Goth
Ace has brought out the Flaming Skull....
....to highlight the fact that he's discovered Øbama is a ...wait for it....socialist.
gasp!
Yes, there is more (do read the whole thing). However, given his general creepiness and his association with murderous leftards like Ayers and Dohrn...I hardly think this warrants a Flaming Skull moment.
. I can't claim credit for the shameful and indeed blasphemously disrespectful use of Ø..that originated at Machine Overlords.

Gurren Lagan...the End
UPDATED
Except for dinner with a friend, I spent all of yesterday studying for my
upcoming exams. Despite this, around 3 AM I found myself quite unable to sleep. Thus, I got up, opened the copy of Gurren Lagann that's been sitting on my shelf for over a week and popped it into the iMac, intending to watch an episode or two.
This was ill considered, for the people at Gainax had nefariously used the DVD as a delivery vehicle for an advanced, bioengineered, fanboy-optimized, formulation of crack.....

Thorium Legislation Before Congress
One of the Brickmuppet's Crack team of Science Babes relays this bit of important information from Kirk Sorensen.
Even better, when used in a liquid fluoride reactor, thorium is extremely efficient and can be utilized to reprocess nuclear waste reducing the amount of waste that has to be disposed of significantly*. Its efficiency would reduce waste further and likewise reduce radioactive fuel consumption...extending our reserves significantly.
As an additional perk, the US has huge thorium reserves. Given the vast increase in available fuel combined with the incredible efficiency of the fuel cycle, adding thorium to our energy mix has the potential to massively increase our fuel reserves. This seems great and we've enthusiastically blogged about it before. However, it has NOT gotten any official support.
Until now.....
There is a discussion of this over at Energy From Thorium and there is more on recent developments in thorium power here and here. Nuclear power developments including thorium news from the US and India are mentioned here.
That this is actually before congress is an extremely important development and potentially a real breakthrough.
While the bailout is immediate in importance, as soon as that is resolved, write your congress in support of this legislation. It may hold the key to our future.
* This explains why normally anti-nuke Harry Reid is a co sponsor. It promises to vastly reduce the amount of waste that would need to be stored at Yucca Mountain.
Text of he legislation is below the fold.

Thorium is abundant and can be used in nuclear reactors much like Uranium.I want to alert you to an exciting development in the US Senate regarding
thorium--legislation introduced by Senators Hatch and Reid to amend the US
Atomic Energy Act to further the utilization of thorium as a planetary
energy source. This represents what so many of us have been saying and
hoping for for so long, a safe clean abundant energy future powered by
thorium.
Here is a link to the text of the legislation and the press release from
Senator Hatch's office:
Even better, when used in a liquid fluoride reactor, thorium is extremely efficient and can be utilized to reprocess nuclear waste reducing the amount of waste that has to be disposed of significantly*. Its efficiency would reduce waste further and likewise reduce radioactive fuel consumption...extending our reserves significantly.
