If You Missed the 2010 Paralympics, You Missed a Great Show!
Words cannot express the wonderful quality of the competition nor the individual and group achievements. From March 12-21, this Olympics was at least equal to if not greater than the able-bodied version. Alas, it did not get the TV time, but I was able to catch several hours of the programming and fell in love with it.
I especially enjoyed the Ice Sledge Hockey competition, which was fast, furious and fun.
My compliments to all of the athletes and the hosts for putting on a great event, even without that glare that accompanied those other Olympics.

Robocop's Car Appears: E7 Squad car from Carbon Motors
Billed as the world’s first purpose-built law enforcement patrol vehicle, this is the E7 Squad car from Carbon Motors.
It's a green vehicle that is to be powered by BMW-supplied diesel engines. Expected to be available in the marketplace by 2013, Carbon Motors Corp claims they will directly and indirectly employ upwards of 10,000 Americans.
And they describe their company as follows:
"Carbon Motors Corporation is a bold, new homeland security company on a critical mission to design, develop, manufacture, distribute, service, and recycle at end-of-life, the world’s first purpose-built law enforcement patrol vehicle."

Dems Finally Win One, Frum Points Finger, Drudge Displays His Stupidity
David Frum, former speechwriter to President George W. Bush writes:
Conservatives and Republicans today suffered their most crushing legislative defeat since the 1960s.
It’s hard to exaggerate the magnitude of the disaster. Conservatives may cheer themselves that they’ll compensate for today’s expected vote with a big win in the November 2010 elections. [...]
No illusions please: This bill will not be repealed. Even if Republicans scored a 1994 style landslide in November, how many votes could we muster to re-open the “doughnut hole” and charge seniors more for prescription drugs? How many votes to re-allow insurers to rescind policies when they discover a pre-existing condition? How many votes to banish 25 year olds from their parents’ insurance coverage? And even if the votes were there – would President Obama sign such a repeal?
