Click here to view this media Fox’s Megyn Kelly had breaking (and breathless) news today that terrorists activists from a “liberal think tank” had breached security at the Iowa State Fair Grounds in Ames today, attacking Mitt Romney, assaulting him with questions in raised voices about Social Security and Medicare, fairer taxes for the rich, and other things ordinary Americans aren’t supposed to think about too much, apparently. In the end, poor Mitt Romney lay prostrate on the ground, helpless and confused by it all, forced to admit that yes indeed ” corporations are people ” and that liberals were just too mean to them.

After five years behind locked doors, researchers at Lockheed Martin’s Intelligent Robotics Laboratories in New Jersey have emerged with a working prototype of the “Samarai,” a tiny DARPA-commissioned surveillance drone. The nano air vehicles (NAVs), modeled after falling Maple leaf seeds, are designed to be super light weight and agile for vertical lift off, hovering, and navigation in tight spaces. Like your favorite $5 Subway sammie, these surveillance bots are a foot long, but instead of being shoveled in your mouth, they’re thrown like boomerangs into flight and controlled using a tablet app or a basic remote. These eyes in the sky will officially launch next week at the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International Conference, but until then you can check out the video of their first flight below.
