GMO labeling looks like it's headed for defeat, which surprised me. I thought there would be a much more lopsided YES vote in King County from people who demand to know every last detail about the food they eat.
Have I ever heard ANY positive coverage of the TSA? Because we've all heard plenty of the bad stuff. I think that Tony Grigsby is probably more representatives of who the TSA is than that other stuff.
The FBI is asking for any pictures or video taken around the time of Friday's shooting at LAX because nothing quite like this has happened at a US airport before. Airport security is intended to keep people from sneaking weapons onto planes but in this case, according to a note found by the FBI, Paul Ciancia was gunning for TSA agents

There are three new tablets being unveiled today by the silicon gods from Apple, Nokia, and Microsoft they join the tablets from Amazon, Google, Samsung and Dell. And it's hard to believe that we are talking of a thing that didn't even exists until January of 2010 when Steve Jobs stepped on stage.
