Bill Gates Begins "Nefarious World Domination Plot, Phase One", BBC Buries Lede
By DF on Thu, 02/05/2009 - 6:12pm | Humor & Satire, Social JusticeFrom the Eccentric_Billionaire++ department:
The 2009 TED talks are going on this week. Apparently, during his talk on fighting malaria, Bill Gates unleashed a jar full of mosquitoes genetically engineered to implant nano-bots in their victims. Gates laughed maniacally and revealed the details of his plot, phase one of which involves the nano-bots infecting their hosts with a fanatical devotion to Windows Vista.
J/K! As the BBC reports, Gates told his audience that there's no reason only poor people should have to get malaria. Thankfully, Gates' mosquitoes were pre-screened for malaria. TED curator Chris Anderson handed news agencies the lede on a silver platter:
TED curator Chris Anderson quipped that when a video of the talk is posted on its website it would be headlined "Gates releases more bugs into the world."

Now two NEW large holes appears in Siberia
This past month a large crater was discovered in Yalmal Peninsula in Siberia. Scientist have been there to study it. They didn't come to any conclusions other then it was formed the same way a cork pops from a bottle. This is an area of tundra that is rich in methane gas. It is believed that the thawing of the permafrost cause the gas to escape blowing a hole. They have now found 2 other holes that are smaller. Methane is a more serious threat to global warming then CO2. This gives the scientist more sites to study and may lead to an explanation. The article includes interesting pictures.

The Millionaire Sheikhs of Hamas
They live in luxury villas in the Persian Gulf. They travel in private jets. They skim millions from the oppressed people of Gaza by taxing the tunnel trade with Egypt. They finance development in Qatar and other locations with their millions or billions. On US TV (Charlie Rose) Khaled Meshaal proclaims "I cannot live under this occupation". True. And of course they are not living under occupation. They are profiting like crime kingpins off of it.

Poll: One-third Say Impeach Obama (or: We Want Biden!)
(One more time ...)
Okay, I added the last part. But you have to wonder if they've considered the outcome if their wish is granted. I'm quite fond of Joe, just didn't realize so many Republicans are, too.

Meet the Americans Who Put Together the Coup in Kiev
f the US State Department's Victoria Nuland had not said "Fuck the EU," few outsiders at the time would have heard of Ambassador Geoffrey Pyatt, the man on the other end of her famously bugged telephone call. But now Washington's man in Kiev is gaining fame as the face of the CIA-style "destabilization campaign" that brought down Ukraine's monumentally corrupt but legitimately elected President Viktor Yanukovych.
