This Just In New Reading for Little Liberals…

January 19th, 2006 by

Coming to a cute new bookstore near you: Brainwashing of the young and the helpless:

Why Mommy is a Democrat from the Little Democrats website. How wonderful!

Having spent a lot of years being directly of indirectly invloved in training, in and out of the Navy, I know that many groups try to get in the loop early in life, for it is the time when we are extremely effective sponges. All education at that level is worthy of being carefully chosen, for it is the foundation building time.

There are some interesting reactions already blogged about, such as this one: Sean Gleeson’s Blog and at Peer Review.

Enjoy!

HT to a young consevative looking forward to entering the Marines!

Thanks to Little Green Footballs for the Open Thread!

Glow in the Dark Pigs? Yep, It’s True!

January 19th, 2006 by

They have finally done it in Taiwan using genetic engineering to “install” jellyfish bioluminescense genes in pigs.

This could spawn a whole series of applications. Kids could have a GITD pig as a pet, so when parents venture in the tried and true admonistion of “this place looks like a pigsty!” would be far more applicatble. In the meantime, the GITD pig would provide a night light function for the child.

Sailors of all types might enjoy a GITD pig, so as to remind them (in the case of Capt Lex) the glow in the carrier’s wake as they make night traps, or (in the case of Chapomatic) the glow of the boiluming plankton in the periscope while underwater, or (in the case of CDR Salamander) the green shine of the UNREP ship’s bow wave following the outline of the ship as you get gas and ammo at night….

And, there are many other applications. Maybe GITD hampsters would be a better idea if you are trying to get into the novelty market…

HT to Little Green Footballs.
