Final Launch of Discovery
Plus a little drama - an Air Force system had a glitch that caused a delay. The launch finally went an hour later - 3 seconds before the close of the launch window.

McOatmeal
There’s a feeling of inevitability in writing about McDonald’s latest offering, their “bowl full of wholesome” — also known as oatmeal. The leading fast-food multinational, with sales over $16.5 billion a year (just under the GDP of Afghanistan), represents a great deal of what is wrong with American food today. From a marketing perspective, they can do almost nothing wrong; from a nutritional perspective, they can do almost nothing right, as the oatmeal fiasco demonstrates.
One “positive” often raised about McDonald’s is that it sells calories cheap. But since many of these calories are in forms detrimental rather than beneficial to our health and to the environment, they’re actually quite expensive — the costs aren’t seen at the cash register but in the form of high health care bills and environmental degradation.

And this is why I haven't had anything from there in years.

Some more footage for your consideration. Not the greatest report - you can't send a square like this chick to Hunter and expect her to make any sense of it - but good enough for an overview.

Detroit Actually Getting a Robocop Monument
Once again, Kickstarter proves that anything can get funding. What started with a off-beat idea submission and a Tweet from Detroit's mayor, becomes a grass-roots type movement to get it done. This could actually talk me into going to Detroit.

The High Strung - The Luck You Got
Been watching Shameless on HBO and can't get this outta my head...so it's your turn for awhile
The High Strung
"May I recommend if you’re doing your own homework, don’t do a Google search. It seems to me that Google is pretty deeply in bed with the government. Remember, maybe this is explaining why Google is being kicked out of all the other countries. Are they just a shill now for the United States government?"

Hi Mike thanks for responding. A few questions: how big is the apt? how long can is the lease til? do you have any pics or a floor plan? I want to move in on mar 15- is that ok?

Horse Pick of the Week
The internet is a fickle place, what one person thinks is great, another will burn his computer and the house it was in. So with this video I'll start a weekly segment. Every Monday I'll post a video that I'm really not sure if it will be a hit or not - and we'll just see what happens......and now...BENNY.
P.S. really not too sure about this one
