Instahoglets for Friday, February 13th

By BJ

A quick round-up of interesting stories.


The RCMP have discovered that Tasers can kill people, and are supposed to be a bit more careful in their use. Clearly, not everyone has gotten the message.

The French Navy recently had to ground it's jet fighters because of a computer virus. Anyone still think cyberwarfare isn't the wave of the future?

The bloom is off the color-coded revolutions, as the Bush White House mistook support for anti-Russian ideologues for actual democracy.

The Religious Right doesn't like what they've turned their name into, and are hoping to relabel themselves. Here's wishing them all a Happy Darwin's Day!

And finally, literary classics with zombies! Be sure to read the comments.

Let's face it. For the Bush Administration, democracy and toeing our line are the same thing.
