In what is sure to be only the beginning of human vs. robot confrontations, a surveillance robot belonging to the police was recently shot after a six-hour standoff with a 62-year-old heavily inebriated man.

Police knocked on the door, called on the phone, and even brought in a trained negotiator, but the man refused to speak to anyone for several hours. So the officers contacted the Pike County Sheriff’s Department and the Highway Patrol’s Strategic Response Team for assistance. Continue reading “Ohio Man Charged with Shooting Robot”

A stopgap spending bill unveiled Monday to keep the government operating through Sept. 30 would not undo sequestration, but it would give the Defense Department flexibility in how to make $46 billion in reductions.

The House version of the so-called continuing resolution, needed to keep the government operating beyond March 27, represents a bit of pragmatism as lawmakers come to realize they cannot reach a compromise on deficit reduction and spending priorities if they face one crisis deadline after another.

Behind the hoopla of the mainstream financial pundits, behind the forced exuberance of the talking heads on the business news networks, behind the shills who pimp themselves for Wall Street, there are, like a dark, ominous thunderstorm on the horizon that is the precursor to a dangerous rash of tornadoes soon to descend from the sky, chilling signs that the stock market is on its way to being taken down. If and when this happens, there are going to be trillions upon trillions of losses that will drive the final nail into the financial coffin for baby boomers, retirees, pension funds, and the world economy at large.
