Friday Squid Blogging: Energy Converter Inspired by Squid
Engineers have invented a wave energy converter that works in the same way that squid propel themselves through the water.
As usual, you can also use this squid post to talk about the security stories in the news that I haven’t covered.

More slippery slope stuff:
Obama Administration Set to Expand Sharing of Data That N.S.A. Intercepts
“The Obama administration is on the verge of permitting the National Security Agency to share more of the private communications it intercepts with other American intelligence agencies without first applying any privacy protections to them, according to officials familiar with the deliberations.”

The article mentions DoJ was part of the planning, meaning they will get a piece of the data pie for domestic law enforcement.
Obama, the Constitutional scholar, has been a big disappointment in regards to protecting our Constitutional rights. These executive orders are beginning to stink like Hitler’s Enabling Act more and more every day.
If the wrong person ever gets in to the WH a full scale totalitarian dictatorship would be quite possible. A totally dysfunctional Congress and Batshirt Crazy Repuplican Party are definite factors dragging us that way.
I think millions of Americans WANT a dictator, so long as it’s a dictator that makes them special, one of the chosen few, and everyone else undesirable targets.
It could happen here. No doubt in my mind. Maybe it’s happening already.
