Quick SciFi update
I watched the first episode of the forth season of Heroes. Frankly it didn’t leave me with a strong desire to watch anymore.
I’d rather see new episodes of Warehouse 13 or the up coming season of Doctor Who. Reruns of Brisco County, Jr. would be probably be better.
democrats against the First Amendment
Filed under: Free Speech, Politics, The Peoples Commonweath, When democrats attack
Yet another case of democrat‘s utter contempt for a Free Press (at least when it isn’t acting in their benefit).
Weekly Standard reporter John McCormack tried to question democrat Martha Coakley out side a fund raiser in Washington, D.C. (Coakley is running for the Senate in Massachusetts, where her Republican opponent has no problem raising funds) and was “roughed up” for daring to exercise his First Amendment rights.
Don’t expect this type of behavior from democrat Martha Coakley if she gets elected to the US Senate.
More at Frugal Cafe, Hot Air & Michelle Malkin’s site.
Update: Coakley aide Michael Meehan admits he shoved Weekly Standard reporter John McCormack to the ground.
Quick twitter roundup

Some good stuff I’ve seen on Twitter:
“Bill Clinton coming to MA for Martha Coakley & the SEIU is paying for attack ads for Martha against Scott Brown. Sexual predators & thugs for Martha!” — Kathleen Beaulieu
I wonder if the commedians in Massachusetts are making any jokes about Martha Coakley’s slutty flight attendent look?
Martha Coakley can’t get enough money from the traditional Dem establishment to match you, so she is going to SEIU for a 700k ad buy. — Patrick Ruffini
Mass Republican candidate for Senate raises $1 Million in one day!
Filed under: Our Dear Leader, Politics, The Peoples Commonweath
Scott Brown, the Republican running for uber-democrat Ted Kennedy’s old seat, raised $1 Million dollars in just one day.
That is truly amazing in the oh-so liberal People’s Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
Or perhaps not. We residents of the Commonwealth got a sneak preview of ObamaAmerica with our own worthless Governor, Deval “Together We Can” Patrick. Patrick had zero executive experience when he took over the Governor’s office and his socialist policies, along with his kowtowing to the state employee unions and raising taxes while the state hemorrhages high tech jobs, have given us a unique perspective of what allowing our Dear Leader to implement his socialist policies will do to the country.
Update: Three Massachusetts news papers have endorsed Scott Brown. The Worcester Telegram & Gazette, the Boston Herald and the Lowell Sun. The Boston Globe is so deep in the DNC’s pocket, they would endorse a convicted felon as long as the felon was running as a democrat.
Monday Book Pick: The Man of Bronze & The Land of Terror
The Man of Bronze and The Land of Terror by Lester Dent.
The first two Doc Savage novels.
The first Doc Savage novel I read was The Land of Terror back in either 1971 or 1972. It was a Bantam reprint that I picked up at store in Panama City just outside the Balboa Gate. Since then, I have read over 160 of the original 181 Doc Savage novels, as well as several by Philip Jose Farmer (licensed or otherwise) and Will Murray. IMNSHO, Doc Savage was the greatest of the Pulp Era Heros.

Two new Android phones
AT&T is finally carrying an Android based phone, this one is made by Dell, and called the Mini 3. This phone has been selling overseas already, so the specs are pretty well known. 3.5-inch 640×360 display, Bluetooth, 3 megapixel auto-focus camera with flash, microSD, and GPS. Two things catch my eye, no WiFi and and microSD support. So that is the bad and good points right off the bat. No WiFi was one of the major complaints about the Crackberry Storm.
The inclusion of a microSD slot is a big, big plus. The lack of an additional memory source is the biggest strike against the iPhone hardware, IMNSHO.
The other new Android phone is Google’s own Nexus 1. We’ll see how long that name lasts. The estate of Philip K. Dick is already taking legal action against the name. Otherwise, this is an impressive bit of hardware. It sports a one-gigahertz processor, a 3.7-inch display, a five-megapixel camera, light and proximity sensors, and dual microphones that allow for noise cancellation. Woot! This phone also has a removable battery! The serious road warrior can pack a spare for emergencies. The phone itself only has 512 Meg of flash memory, but it comes with a 4 Gig microSD card. The phone will support up to 32 Gig in that slot, so expansion is available.
You can buy an unlocked phone direct from Google fro $529.

Friday B-Movie Pick: True Lies
From 1994 comes this action comedy with actual Middle Eastern Islamic terrorist bad guys! Arnold Schwarzenegger, Jamie Lee Curtis, Tom Arnold, Tia Carrere and Tom Paxton lead the casting, and are clearly having fun with this James Cameron flick.
