Tech at Night: FCC continues to regulate, Chance to defeat the AIA?, Amazon Tax corruption in California
Hey look, it’s Tech at Night before midnight Pacific time. Guess who’s got two thumbs and is finishing the week early? This guy. The FCC is creating yet more new regulations.

Edwin Edwards for Governor?
Fans of former Louisiana Governor Edwin Edwards have created a Facebook page called “Ask Obama to Pardon Edwin Edwards”. As an convicted felon, the Silver Zipper is precluded from running for a fifth term as governor. Barack Obama could change all that.

The far-left Center for American Progress (CAP) today released a report on the “Islamophobia network” it claims is responsible for the “genesis of anti-Muslim propaganda” in America, which coincidentally began, the report claims, ten years ago (“[S]even foundations over the past decade have helped fan the flames of anti-Muslim hate in America,” writes Faiz Shakir [...]
Give My Children The Lightning Again (Part 1 of 3): Michele Bachmann on Energy and The Environment.
Larry Niven’s awesome novel Lucifer’s Hammer concluded with an amazing vignette. A leader lies dying amid the ruins of a devastated world.

Fact checkers exist to put an objective, nonpartisan veneer on whatever some reporter wants to say. And when [...]
Jihad-watchers beclowning themselves over Perry/Ismaili thing.
Yeah. I’m kicking it Old School here: “anti-Idiotarian” is one of those terms of art from the far-off dawn of the blogosphere (which is to say, 2003 or so). Then again, a lot of the people who are going to be talked about here have been in the ‘sphere for that long; so keep that [...]
Jon Huntsman’s Legitimacy: A Near Sexual Fantasy for Some on the Left
At what point does Jon Huntsman’s campaign begin to look like a sexual fantasy for the some lefties in the media and the left in general and not like a Presidential campaign? At this point I think.
