He’s a conspiracy nut confused about who actually carried out the OKC bombing (hint: not brown-colored socialists or Islamofascistocommunitariangaylibotards). He would have gone to the rally, but FBI arrested him at his hom. The elderly, non-energetic man he thought was the organizer was also contacted by the Feds on his way to the rally, and quickly disavowed all knowledge of the conservatwit’s activities. FBI Arrests Oklahoma Teabagger For Twitter Threats | Threat Level from Wired.com An Oklahoma City man who announced on Twitter that he would turn an April 15 tax protest into a bloodbath was hit with a federal…

Series star Zachary Levi went on a Subway run with attendees of Starfury T1, an SF con in Birmingham, UK. Pictures and video atZachary-Levi.Net. He even gets behind the counter, apparently to help #savechuck. Maybe they should have called the order in the day before, though. ;D UPDATE: It was 400 fans according to this item from the SciFi Wire, and the End of Show blog included a photo and noted that Levi did indeed get behind the counter and help out until every fan was served. Not only that, but Jeffster! has a Facebook page, and there’s an event…

because there’s never been a documented outbreak of fish flu or fishpox. And there may be a connection with factory farming in Mexico, where hogs and chickens are both raised in large, tightly packed facilities. David Kirby: Swine Flu Outbreak — Nature Biting Back at Industrial Animal Production? Officials from the CDC and USDA will likely arrive in Mexico soon to help investigate the deadly new influenza virus that managed to jump from pigs to people in a previously unseen mutated form that can readily spread among humans. One of the first things they will want to look at are…

Thanks, @mashable! Also, what a rotten time for @fallingrock to be on the road at @commonug. Wash your hands frequently, honey. HOW TO: Track Swine Flu Online There are few things in this world that cannot be easily replaced, repaired, or regained. Our health and the health of the ones we love falls into this category. The best thing we can do to protect our health, above medication or rest, is prevention. This week, news broke of a new and fatal swine flu on the Mexico-U.S. border. It has quickly turned into a growing outbreak and possible pandemic. Knowing about…

FlyteComm is a pretty cool way to check flight schedules. Plug in an airline and flight number, and you get a display with a graphic showing the plane’s current estimated position, overlaid on a weather map (in this case of the US). Why am I checking on a Saturday? Oh, well, never mind. I’m a geek that way. Here’s another example, we flew on American’s “daylighter” flight from Chicago to London last August. It departs in the morning, and arrives that night, so you go straight to your hotel and to bed rather than trying to stay awake all day…

Don’t Make Us Send Some Ridiculously Large Number of Packages of Nerds Candy to NBC Headquarters! Yes, I’m a nerd. A proud nerd. I like to watch shows nerds watch. So does my husband. And we like to spend money on things nerds like. We would buy a DVD set of “Chuck” should one become available. We (mkay, I) would buy a Jeffster t-shirt. We buy many products that are product-placed on “Chuck” already, but when we see them, we don’t groan with dismay, but chuckle (get it? WE CHUCKLE) because the placements are both clever and relevant to the…

We lead such an exciting, glamorous life. My husband David and I planned a few weeks ago to take last Friday off and drive down to visit a niece of ours that lives in south-central Illinois. We visit her periodically because she lives a long way from home, and we don’t get to see her very often if we wait for her occasional visits “home” for birthdays and holidays. We think these visits are important for emotional well-being, both hers, and ours. She’s always happy to see us, and we feel happy and sad for her at the same time.…

Now I’m wide awake and watching the SciFi Channel’s miniseries, ‘Knights of Bloodsteel’ The four-hour, two-part movie tells the tale of Mirabilis, a mythical land chock full of humans, elves and goblins in which the only thing of value, apparently, is a magical metal called bloodsteel. What little remains is controlled by the awful and horrible Dragon Eye (Mark Gibbon), a monster so ridiculously hideous he looks like he was drafted from a later episode of “The Power Rangers.” There is, as luck would have it, a magic crucible that produces vast quantities of bloodsteel. To ensure that Dragon Eye…

I ran across this earlier at Crooks and Liars and was thinking over some of the head-‘splody statements in it, wondering why it is that the Right, or the people that write their copy, are so open to using such transparently obvious crap in order to get ‘er done. For one thing, there’s either an egregious lie buried in it, or a really dumb mistake. Factcheck much? Here’s the first one called ” Thank You” OPEN ON A YOUNG MULATTO FEMALE DOCTOR. Thank you for ending slavery. A WOMAN EXECUTIVE STANDING IN FRONT OF HER DESK. Thank you for giving…
