Self Assembly Progress

This seems like a big deal:

The CHN (Center for High-rate Nanomanufacturing at Northeastern University) has been able to develop a novel way to assemble nanoelements (nanotubes, nanoparticles, etc.) into nanostructures and devices that enable the mass production of atomic-scale structures and will lead to the production of devices such as biosensors, batteries, memory devices and flexible electronics very quickly and efficiently and with minimal errors.

Bring it on.

527 Fodder

I’ve got to believe that this is going to be the stuff of ads this fall. Do we really want people in this party to control both the Congress and the White House?

Unfortunately, “profit” is a dirty word to John McCain as well. Let’s hope some of his advisors can keep him under control.

[Update later afternoon]

Heh. Will Obama make Maxine Waters his Secretary of Energy?

[Update a few minutes later]

Geez. Maybe she’ll be energy secretary no matter who wins. John McCain:

Um, I don’t like obscene profits being made anywhere-and I’d be glad to look not just at the windfall profits tax-that’s not what bothers me-but we should look at any incentives that we are giving to people, that or industries or corporations that are distorting the market.

And this guy calls himself a “Reagan conservative”?

I think that Mickey has it right. Republicans are suckers.

“Highly Educated Voters”

Some thoughts about the supposed “highly educated voters” who the media told us voted for John Kerry, and are voting (and will vote for) Barack Obama:

I invited the applicants for interviews. These PMI wannabes came off as slick and somewhat rude. I noted something among my subjects, a sense of entitlement, they all, to varying degrees, emitted a message along the lines of “Why are you bothering me with this silly interview? I am obviously brilliant. I have a degree from Columbia. I am not going to spend my whole life as you have in this stupid bureaucracy. I just need this to add to my resume. I am in a hurry.”

I have two bachelors degrees and a masters. Am I highly educated? Well, I’m sufficiently educated not to let Obama pull the wool over my eyes.

Come to think of it, Obama seems to be in a hurry as well.

The Dem’s Dilemma

A concise description of it, over at Ann Althouse’ site (see second comment):

Obama would not be getting the super delegates at this stage if he were not african american.

Hillary has the popular vote. Moreover, if primaries were held again today, Hillary would greatly expand her lead. She would beat Obama by 3/4 of a million votes in Florida and she would crush him in Michigan. In addition, Obama’s big lead from Illinois would shrink.

Today compared to January, what we know about Hillary has not changed. This is not true for Obama. Everything we have learned about Obama in March-May has been negative. The truth is that Obama was unknown on Super Tuesday and people voted for him because they thought he was something other than what he is. Today Obama is more known and the trend of support for him in the battleground states is downward. The super delegates were put in place to pick up on these trends. Unfortuantely, the race issue has tied their hands.

Oh, well. Sux to be them.

It’s a bed they made, though. Sleep tight.
