Militarizing Police Departments With Your Bailout Money

High Plains Lawyer sends this article from the Lone Star Times on the high times ahead for your local po-lice.

Dell Wasabi PZ310

The Dell Wasabi PZ310 is a mobile printer that is almost pocket-sized.  It prints borderless 2×3 inch prints in under a minute.  It is Bluetooth and PictBridge compatible.  Canon 5D Mark II users may finally have a use for the print button (yes, it’s a joke). While the Wasabi PZ310 is a novel idea, don’t count on it to be anything more than a “fun” toy.  And frankly, if you own a DSLR, it’s probably not going to be all that fun.  It’s clearly geared toward the MySpace-crazed teen crowd; not

Sanyo’s Xacti VPC-HD2000 pocket camcorder gets reviewed

Sanyo's Xacti line of pocket-friendly HD camcorders have been almost universally praised... when shooting outdoors. When trying to log clips in dim light, however, the story has been quite different. The outfit's VPC-HD2000, which was unveiled at CES this year, came out looking decently strong from PhotographyBLOG's review. The handheld packed in "more features than you'd expect," but the lofty price tag kept it from being a real contender. Sadly, the poor low light performance was grandfathered

In fact, it occurs to me they may be the spiritual offspring of the aforementioned liaisons. Whenever there is loose change or unclaimed dollar bills laying around, mayors can smell them a mile away and if a Sugar Daddy offers free cash, they never stop to question what the vigorish might be. The urban emperors, suburban commissars, the hack an
