USA: Radioactive Ash?

Um....wow: Moscow (AFP) - A leading anchor on Russian state television on Sunday described Russia as the only country capable of turning the United States into "radioactive ash", in an incendiary comment at the height of tensions over the Crimea referendum.

Of course if Russia launched it's missiles at the US, NORAD would detect it in an instant and then we would launch our missiles at Russia, destroying it in the process. There would be no winners, only losers.

Say goodbye to tax free internet!

From The Washington Post: "U.S. officials announced plans Friday to relinquish federal government control over the administration of the Internet, a move that pleased international critics but alarmed some business leaders and others who rely on the smooth functioning of the Web."

What are some implications of this: “If the U.N. gains control what amounts to the directory and traffic signals of the Internet, it can impose whatever taxes it likes. It likely would start with a tax on registering domains and expand from there" suggested The Daily Caller.

I don't know about you but I'm stocking up on pens, paper and stamps.....old school communication.
