Obama Calls Health Plan a ‘Moral Obligation’
Obama getting all biblical up in this bitch. He called those lying about his plan as "bearing false witness" as he made his pitch to religious leaders. But while he did stress that it was a moral obligation, he did say that how moral it was was up for debate and he was willing to negotiate on just how much of an obligation it should be. He then asked the leaders to pray with him, so that the Lord might smite his enemies. I hope it works out for him.

10 Reasons to Support Reform
I'm sorry to break up the little Harvest Festival of dick jokes and bitching we have going on here, but here's an actual link to actual information from Families USA. It explains what we need to get from reform, why certain changes are needed, and tells us what's being proposed to address those concerns. Sorry to do that to you, now back to killer robots!

Real-Life Decepticons: Robots Learn to Cheat
Scientists, for some God awful reason, decided to give robots functioning animal like brains. What is the first things these newly brained robots learned to do? Cheat and deceive over food. As if we needed one more reason to fear robots, we learn that even the simplest of their kind quickly evolve into a dishonest whirring of deceptive cogs and treacherous motors. At least know that when a robot is feasting on your flesh for its power, it will at least attempt to lie to surrounding robots about your deliciousness, saving you from a multiple robot gore orgy. This is all you have to look forward to in the future.

Comet Contains One of Life’s Precursors
Science has officially found that comets can contain the building blocks of life and thus can seed life onto planets during a collision. So for those of you counting at home, that now make a fourth plausible "how life began" story to join with "God did it", "evolution did it", and "Gil Gerard did it by using a time machine to travel back to the dawn of man to ejaculate into the primordial ooze".

Behind the Scenes at Harvard’s Museum of Natural History
Did you ever wish to view Vladimir Nabokov's collection of butterfly genitalia, but didn't have the time or connections to peruse through the Harvard Museum of Natural History's archives? Thankfully for you there's a book coming out on the subject and it has photos. Ostensibly it's a book about Harvard's role in the history of biology and filled with some of their most interesting specimens, but I dare you to come away thinking about anything other than "Vladimir Nabokov was kind of weird."
