SCIENCE: Making Carbon Nanotubes to Destroy Anthrax Toxin

Using Carbon Nanotubes To Seek and Destroy Anthrax Toxin and Other Harmful Proteins

Troy, N.Y. - Researchers at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute [profile] have developed a new way to seek out specific proteins, including dangerous proteins such as anthrax toxin, and render them harmless using nothing but light. The technique lends itself to the creation of new antibacterial and antimicrobial films to help curb the spread of germs, and also holds promise for new methods of seeking out and killing tumors in the human body.

• OBVIOUSLY, IF THIS WORKS, THEN THIS MIGHT BE GOOD NEWS, BUT IT DOESN'T REALLY INTEREST ME.

• I'M MERELY POSTING IT TO PROVE WE OUT-POST INSTAPUNDIT EVEN AT THE STUFF HE FINDS INTERESTING AND WE DON'T. HEH.
  

THE ASTUTE BLOGGER RULES!

ROVE, GONZALES AND CRAIG: GOOD RIDDANCE

Rove is a genius: he got the MSM to hold the Craig story until the day Gonzo resigned!

WOW!

Seriously: Neither will be missed:

• Gonzo was merely inept. Glad he's gone.
  
• Craig IS perverted scum. Can't wait for him to be gone. (BTW: I always thought he spoke in a rather affected and effeminate manner.)
  

(Yeah: good riddance to Rove: he was politically inept on Miers, Dubai, Immigration and SS privatization.)

WHY YOU CAN'T WIN WHEN YOU ARGUE ABOUT "MAN-MADE" GLOBAL-WARMING WITH AN UPPER-WEST-SIDER

WHENEVER IT'S TOO HOT, THEY SAY, "IT'S BECAUSE OF MAN-MADE GLOBAL-WARMING, STUPID!"

WHEN IT'S UNSEASONABLY COLD, "IT'S THE WEATHER, STUPID!"

TODAY - IN THE EAST - WE'RE JUST HAVING UNSEASONABLY COLD WEATHER. WITH SNOW.

OH, OH, OH: THEN THERE'S THE REALLY "SOPHISTICATED" UPPER WESTSIDERS WHO SAY ON UNSEASONABLY COLD DAYS THAT "MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING CAUSES COOLING, TOO!" THAT'S WHY THEY DECIDED TO CALL IT "CLIMATE CHANGE." AS IF CLIMATES HAD NEVER EVER CHANGED BEFORE.

BOTTOM-LINE: MAN-MADE GLOBAL WARMING ISN'T FALSIFIABLE TO THE LEFT, PROVING ONCE AGAIN THAT BELIEVING IN IT IS AN IRRATIONAL ACT OF POSTMODERN PAGAN FAITH AND NOT AT ALL SCIENTIFIC.

LEFTIES SCREAMING... FOR THE COMMON GOOD

MAKE NO MISTAKE ABOUT IT: THEY'RE LEFTIES, NUTS, AND DANGEROUS.

AND THEY LOVE TO SCREAM. (WHAT'S THAT ABOUT!?)

A MODEST PROPOSAL: HOW TO REDUCE HUMAN CONTRIBUTION TO ATMOSPHERIC CO2

TO REDUCE MAN-MADE CO2 EMISSIONS, I THINK ALL THE ECO-NUTSIES SHOULD STOP BREATHING. HERE'S WHY:

A HUMAN CONTRIBUTES 1KG/DAY OF CO2 - JUST BY BREATHING. (PEOPLE WHO EXERCISE CONTRIBUTE EVEN MORE.)

IN AN AVERAGE LIFETIME, A PERSON MIGHT CONTRIBUTE 30,000 KG OF CO2 INTO THE ATMOSPHERE.

ABOUT HALF THE USA POPULATION FEELS THAT HUMANS ARE CONTRIBUTING TO MUCH CO2 TO THE ATMOSPHERE - AND THAT THIS CONTRIBUTION "THREATENS CIVILIZATION AND LIFE ON EARTH AS WE KNOW IT."

WELL, THEY COULD REDUCE THE CONTRIBUTION BY 45,000,000,000,000KG (THAT'S TRILLION) OVER THE NEXT CENTURY BY MERELY CEASING TO RESPIRE. AND THEY CAN START RIGHT NOW.

THERE IS NO LEGISLATION NECESSARY. NO TREATY, EITHER. JUST PLAIN OLD DIRECT ACTION. IT'D ACTUALLY CHEAPER THAN BUYING A PRIUS - OR CARBON CREDITS. IT COSTS NOTHING.

AND THERE WOULD ACTUALLY BE FURTHER REDUCTIONS SINCE THESE DEAD PEOPLE WOULDN'T BE BURNING ANY FOSSIL FUELS. IT WOULD SAVE MORE THAN TRILLIONS! MAYBE QUADRILLIONS!

EUTHANASIA OF THE ECO-NUTSIES BY THE ECO-NUTSIES - FOR THE COMMON GOOD, OF COURSE.

THERE'S AN ADDED BENEFIT: THESE DEAD ECO-NUTSIES WILL REDUCE STRESS ON MEDICARE AND SOCIAL SECURITY!

THERE'S ONE BAD BY-PRODUCT: AS THEY DECOMPOSE, THEY'LL GIVE OFF SOME CO2.

I CAN LIVE WITH THAT.

OF COURSE, THE LEFT WOULD NEVER LET THIS HAPPEN. BECAUSE IF IT DID, WHO WOULD BE AROUND TO VOTE FOR HILLARY?

WIFE LIED; HER LOVER DIED

CNN:

Darrell Roberson came home from a card game late one night to find his wife rolling around with another man in a pickup truck in the driveway.

Caught in the act with her lover, Tracy Denise Roberson -- thinking quickly, if not clearly -- cried rape, authorities say.

Her husband pulled a gun and killed the other man with a shot to the head.

On Thursday, a grand jury handed up a manslaughter indictment -- against the wife, not the husband.

DIVORCE IS SO MUCH LESS MESSY.
