‘Watch My Blazer, Bro!’: Liberal Bloggers Attempt to Ambush Fox News’ Jesse Waters

Fox Nation : Yesterday at CPAC in Washington DC, a liberal blogger from a Soros-funded smear site attempted to “ambush” Fox News’ Jesse Watters, who was covering the conservative conference for FoxNation.com and whose “ambush” interviews are frequently featured on The O’Reilly Factor.

Boston planning to murder potholes with your phone’s accelerometer

Accelerometers in consumer electronics have already shown value far beyond their manufacturers ever intended — but did you ever think your car’s beleaguered suspension system would be the benefactor? Officials in Boston are toying around with an experimental smartphone app called Street Bump that’s tuned to keep an eye out for potholes as you drive; when it detects a disturbance in the force, it makes note of the location. No word on when Bostonians will benefit from the fruits of Street Bump’s labor, but the developers will be using this spring and summer’s post-freeze pothole season to fine-tune the algorithm so that it can differentiate between, say, a gaping crater in the road and your poor driving skills (just kidding, we’re sure you’re a fine driver).

Embracing their inner extremist at CPAC: Ron Paul wins the straw poll again

Click here to view this media Well, it won’t make The Donald very happy, but here we go again: For the second year in a row, Ron Paul won the presidential straw poll at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference, earning 30 percent of the vote. The Texas congressman, known for his libertarian views, ran for president in 2008 but was never a serious contender for the GOP nomination. Former Massachusetts Gov. Mitt Romney, a 2008 GOP candidate who is expected to run again, came in second place with 23 percent of the vote. Romney won the previous three presidential straw polls before Paul snapped his streak last year. Many convention-goers booed when the results were announced but the Paul supporters drowned them out with chants of “Ron Paul! Ron Paul! Ron Paul!” Paul’s consecutive victories in the straw poll have frustrated many GOP faithful who would rather see a more credible contender win. A CPAC official told Fox News that the big story is not Paul winning again but rather the strength of Romney’s second-place finish. I think we can just pretty much repeat what Logan said last year at this time : Now, I don’t disagree with everything Ron Paul has to say, but I would never vote for him and boy, did he ever get destroyed by the GOP base during the 2008 Presidential campaign. Talk about the proverbial ship without a rudder. This wasn’t some online poll that got freeped, this was taken in person at the GOP’s biggest annual event. It’s always helpful when a guy who really is a right-wing extremist gets the support of the GOP’s most ardent activists. Tells us a lot about the direction they want to go, at the very least.
