Are you colour blind?!! From the very map you cite, it looks like an even break between red & blue states.

With the exception of a few states, this looks more like a Western (non-coastal) state thing.
Western : Montana, Wyoming, Utah, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas.
Plus a scattered handful : Arkansas, Louisiana, Wisconsin, Michigan, Kentucky, Alabama, Virginia, South Carolina, Maine, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey & Delaware.

Actually, I would be interested in seeing you input 1MW into a block of concrete. Got a youtube link?
In the meantime, ob. fun bideos

The Skinkworks is where the lizardmen work (S4). Do you even tinfoil, bro?

Avoid people projectile vomiting or with explosive diarrhea .

It used to be back during the days when terrestrial broadcast television was king, that the FCC mandated that stations produce a certain % of public service programming. That's the reason we ever had television news reporting in the first place. Or educational kids shows that weren't just half-hour commercials for the latest toys and sugary breakfast cereals.

Then we went to cable, which doesn't have the same regulation, removing the public service programming mandate. From that point everything was driven purely by the capitalistic profit motive.

So instead of filling the multiple 24 hour news channels with thoughtful, in-depth reporting, we've got CNN screaming OMGWTF every five minutes trying to grab attention.

See, the Invisible Hand makes everything better. Do not blaspheme the hand.

OMGWTFROFLOLBBQ! Reuters doesn't have a science correspondent. I didn't know they were headquartered in Texas.

Things must really be bad for them to be releasing the "alien" technology from the skinkworks.

Not sure if badass or crazy...

But then, Americans put bear in escape capsule....


Maybe wait for the arrival of the first Antariksha yaatri before attempting to engage in interplanetary space piracy.

If he really has a device that works as advertized, he doesn't need investors. He needs a really big laser to hook it up to and suitable ninja-proof volcano to house it.

This is just Gaia naturally trying to clear up a nasty infestation of Homo Sapiens and return to a normal equilibrium. Nothing to be alarmed about here.

I really don't understand why "OW MY BALLS!" isn't a real show on Spike. Or SyFy.

too easy:

• Survivor - starving people struggle to survive while uncaring overseers with video cameras heartlessly record their plight
• Amazing Race - people, probably ones who escaped from the island in Survivor, flee pursuit while overseers with cameras record their crimes against the state
• Thursday Night Football - FFA - Future Felons of America
• CSI / Miami / New York - DNA always tells the truth
• Bluebloods - The elite Chief of Police presides over a nepotistic dynasty, as is right.
• Person of Interest - hackers can't escape from the loving all-seeing AI
• NCIS / Los Angeles / New Orleans / JAG - we'll get you if you fuck with the Navy.
• Two Broke Girls - occupy Brooklyn
• Two and a Half Men - perennial loser's son is one of the disappeared. Stay in line, don't let this happen to you.
• Hawaii Five O - again, don't fuck with the Navy.
• The Mentalist - we can read your mind, resistance if futile. And the police will lie and trick you.
• Mike an Molly - police officers are likable normal joes, not crazed thugs with pepperspray and tazers.
• The Good Wife - a party apparatchik leverages her political connections to get ahead.
• Madam Secretary - hey look, we're really good guys, we don't really want to bomb you. but you need bombing.
• Big Bang Theory - ok, I have to use my lifeline on this one...
• Scorpion - hackers can be good, too. They work for the State.
• Elementary - Winston Smith solves crimes for the police.
• Criminal Minds - that's you. There's no escape.
