Transformers, Terrorists in Disguise. (Wizbang Pop!)

I think it's fair to say that the media has gone far enough in their efforts to make us all move underground. Or Maybe they watch too much Japanimation. This is an awful lot of technology for a bunch of people hiding in holes in the desert. Wouldn't it just be easier to drop a piano on our head?

Or what? You'll release the dogs? Or the bees? Or the dogs with bees in their mouth and when they bark they shoot bees at you? -Homer Simpson

So reports Breitbart.com:

It may sound like science fiction, but the prospect that suicide bombers and hijackers could be made redundant by flying robots is a real one, according to experts.
The technology for remote-controlled light aircraft is now highly advanced, widely available -- and, experts say, virtually unstoppable.

Models with a wingspan of five metres (16 feet), capable of carrying up to 50 kilograms (110 pounds), remain undetectable by radar.

And thanks to satellite positioning systems, they can now be programmed to hit targets some distance away with just a few metres (yards) short of pinpoint accuracy.

Fabulous

Wizbang Blue: The Democratic View of Palin's Speech

This report pretty much echoes my own sentiment after watching Palin last night. She's a great little Teleprompter reader, and she reads the stand-up comedy one-liners fed to her by the McCain speech writing team like a champ, but other than her ability to smirk on cue there wasn't much to brag about in her speech - just 'more of the same' attack lines, interspersed with 'more of the same' applause lines.

Er, that's a Gundam in the picture. Not a Transformer.
