Wired News: "When Dolphins Turn Deadly
Among the innumerable individuals displaced by Hurricane Katrina, military-trained dolphins may also have gotten lost in the shuffle. Trouble is, the U.S. Navy's 36 cetaceans may be armed and dangerous. The Atlantic bottlenose dolphins, which have been taught to use toxic dart guns to shoot terrorists attacking military vessels, may have been swept out to sea when the storm breached their coastal compound. 'My concern is that they have learned to shoot at divers in wetsuits who have simulated terrorists in exercises,' said accident investigator Leo Sheridan. 'The darts are designed to put the target to sleep so they can be interrogated later, but what happens if the victim is not found for hours?'

Holy crap, we have trained dart-shooting Dolphins?! That has to be the coolest thing I have ever heard. One step closer to sharks with frickin' lasers...

Wired News: "Laura Bush Strikes Back
To all those detractors fulminating against President Bush over relief efforts for the disproportionally black hurricane victims, the first lady has this to say: 'I think all of those remarks are disgusting, to be perfectly frank, because of course President Bush cares about everyone in our country.' Laura Bush's comments, aired in an interview with American Urban Radio Networks, were directed at rapper Kanye West and Democratic chairman Howard Dean. Both men have publicly blamed her husband for the preponderance of black and poor Katrina casualties. 'I mean, I'm the person who lives with him,' said Mrs. Bush. 'I know what he's like and I know what he thinks and I know how he cares about people.' You tell 'em, Laura!

The Truth About Violent Youth and Video Games - Game Revolution

The Truth About Violent Youth and Video Games - Game Revolution: "Thanks to the current media frenzy and barrage of lawsuits surrounding violent video games, I can't tell people what I do for a living without getting a lecture on the current plague of youth violence and the scourge that is Grand Theft Auto. I decided it was time for a rebuttal more effective than shrugging and saying, "Well, I think you're wrong."

So I sat down to write this article, and started doing some research. What I discovered startled me.

First off, I have absolute proof that video games are not the cause of this epidemic of youth violence in America. No, really, I do. Ready?"

Finally, someone with some breains that uses the facts to disprove the bullshit lie about video games. He also links to a really great article on Overcriminalized.Com.
