The presidential entourage will have 40 aircraft, including the Air Force One that will ferry the president. There will be six armoured cars, including four Barack Mobiles and a Cadillac.

Cadillac is equipped with a mini communication centre to enable Obama to be in touch with the White House, US vice president and the US strategic command. It also has the US nuke launch codes and it can withstand a chemical or germ warfare and a bomb attack.

Two secret service command posts will be set up in Delhi and Mumbai to act as the communication nerve centres. These will monitor the president’s movement with real time satellite monitoring.

Three Marine One choppers will be reassembled in India to ferry the president and his family and to evacuate them in case of any emergency.

Judge shuts down file-sharing site Limewire

I guess people still used Limewire but I stopped many years ago when it became infected with viruses and a bunch of crap but it was the sh*t when it first came out.

A federal judge has issued an injunction ordering the service to permanently disable its software and to end the sharing of unauthorized music files, the Wall Street Journal reports.

College kids skip eating to do binge drinking, counselors have named it ‘drunkorexia’

Teenage Wasteland aka our educational system in this country has got massive problems that never seem to get addressed by our so-called politicians who are more concerned with a bunch of trivial bullshit.

[video] NPR fires Juan Williams for being ‘nervous of Muslims’ on airplanes

Juan Williams is a boot licking sellout and has some nerve saying this statement and I am glad he got canned. Video courtesy of Buzzfeed.

via Gawker

Juan Williams, fired by NPR today for honestly expressing his fear of scary Muslims in our nation’s skies, has now responded publicly, saying that his remark was “not a bigoted statement,” and faulting NPR for firing him without even letting him speak to them in person about it. (NPR says in a memo that it’s had “many conversations and warnings over the years” with Williams about his public statements). Also Bill O’Reilly is now leaping to Williams’ defense and calling for funding cuts for NPR, which is the official new talking point on this, apparently. Juan Williams’ future as a heroic favorite at Fox News is suddenly very clear.

Lebron James Declares ‘Hater Day’, Re-Tweets Racist Messages

If you been on this blog before, you know I am a massive Lebron James fan, where he goes I go so don’t be at all surprised by this post.
