WHEN MY AVATAR went to work. A video is here.

More on telepresence.
GOV. CHRISTIE TO PUBLIC EMPLOYEES: “Don't be angry at the first guy that came here and told you the truth.”
HE JUST DOESN’T GET IT: Obama to push gun-control measures.
NASA CHIEF CHARLES BOLDEN: "Fostering education is a key goal at NASA."

And I always thought the NASA [National Aeronautic and Space Admininstration] charter was aeronautical and astronautical (space) research and development. Silly me.
RONALD REAGAN AT 100: A true believer who caught destiny's eye: "I wasn't a great communicator, but I communicated great things, and they didn't spring full blown from my brow, they came from the heart of a great nation -- from our experience, our wisdom and our belief in the principles that have guided us for two centuries."
OBAMA USES the language of capitalism and the tools of government.
Obama has brilliantly framed the same vision the opposite way: We can't let China or Europe beat us on green energy or biotechnology! This touches our patriotic hearts and plays to our competitive spirit.

But it also undermines our free market and, in the long run, stultifies our economy. Rather than investors and entrepreneurs trying to anticipate and meet consumer demand, we now have GE or made-for-subsidy startups trying to lobby for and receive subsidies.
Lobby for and receive subsidies. That’s ‘new capitalism’ for you.
WANT TO SAVE $500 BILLION THIS YEAR? Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., has a way to do it.

It’s a beginning.
