By S. Durden Taylor | November 26, 2009
I have a complete irrational fear of MRSA so I hope they hurry up and speed up the development of these devices. Not really sure what exactly plasma is but sounds very cool.
News – Device spells doom for superbugs.
Researchers have demonstrated a prototype device that can rid hands, feet, or even underarms of bacteria, including the hospital superbug MRSA.

YouTube - SARAH PALIN BOOK SIGNING – Interviews with Supporters.
Wow, simply amazing. These are the 26%er’s who have highjacked the Republican party. Sadly I remember a time when the grand old party was the party of intelligence and not the party of the rogue idiot’s.

Patient trapped in a 23-year ‘coma’ was conscious all along
By S. Durden Taylor | November 23, 2009
This is literally my worse nightmare. As a child I was always worried about being buried in a box under ground where no one could hear me, but I guess that is because I never imaged a horror like this. 23 years with no mental stimulation trapped in your brain, is simply the absolute most terrifying thing possible. I am sure I am going to have nightmares about this story for years to come. I really wonder how many other people in coma’s are trapped like this?

How 16 ships create as much pollution as all the cars in the world
By S. Durden Taylor | November 22, 2009
The most staggering statistic of all is that just 16 of the world’s largest ships can produce as much lung-clogging sulphur pollution as all the world’s cars. Why are we doing something about these ships? Anybody? I just don’t understand….

Will Bunch: The 26 Percent Solution
By S. Durden Taylor | November 21, 2009
Will Bunch: The 26 Percent Solution.
If you look at poll after poll that asks questions about the far right you will find that they make up 26% of Americans and that their views are very radical.
26% of Americans believe the following
that Acorn stole the last presidential election,
there should be no health care over haul,
that we shouldn’t sign the Kyoto accord.
and even at his lowest rating 26% of American’s approved of the job George W. Bush was doing.
Will doesn’t have the poll listed in his article but I pretty much think that you will find that 26% of American believe that President Obama wasn’t born in the US, and that he is a Muslim. Also, I think that if somebody polls it you will find that this same radical 26% believes that Sarah Palin would be a good president.
The problem is that no matter how crazy that this radical 26% is, they are voting as one block and they are voting in every primary. The entire reason that not a single Republican is voting for this health care reform that 70% of Americans support is because of this one single voting block. The radical 26% have highjacked the Republican party and they are destroying our country in the process. The media pundits that control this radical group, Rush, Beck, Hannity, and Palin are all more interested in cashing in on this group than they are the governess of this country. The more they radicalize this group the more their ratings go up and the more books they sell.
I really wish someone would profile just who these people are. I would guess 30-60 year old white middle class suburbanites but that just maybe my experience.
What do you think?

Republican Deficit Hypocrisy – Forbes.com
By S. Durden Taylor | November 21, 2009
Remember the Medicare drug benefit?
The medicare part D that Bush and the Republicans pushed through right before the midterm elections to buy the votes of seniors is going to cost $1 trillion dollars over 10 years with no the drug benefit had no dedicated financing, no offsets and no revenue-raisers; 100% of the cost simply added to the federal budget deficit, whereas the health reform measures now being debated will be paid for with a combination of spending cuts and tax increases, adding nothing to the deficit over the next 10 years. Now the same Republicans that voted for Medicare Part D are voting against the current health care plan because of the current deficit. PLEASE!! Great article by Bruce Bartlett that shows the underlying hypocrisy of the current Republican party. It is worth the read.

Review: The Definitive Coast-to-Coast 3G Data Test
By S. Durden Taylor | December 18, 2008
Review: The Definitive Coast-to-Coast 3G Data Test.
This article from Gizmodo does the best job comparing 3g coverage from Att, Sprint, and Verizon. The final verdict is that Sprint wins hands down on data, and between ATT and Verizon, ATT wins some area’s of the county while Verizon win’s others. ATT has the best upload speed of all three.
What does this mean. Well for me, I use 3g only on my phone so I need good voice with data which kills Sprint for me. Since I live in the south, ATT beat verizen in this area of the country so it looks like for me ATT is my best choice. Plus, I am an Iphone junkie so ATT is my choice.
None of his data is really suprising, but I found it interesting.
