You Got The Red Armor: New Nanotech Armor 5x Stronger Than Steel

Instalanche me! It's war! It's nanotech! It's the singularity of body amor!

An Israeli firm has developed armor based on nanotechnology.

ApNano has tested armor said to be five times stronger than steel and twice as strong as any impact-resistant material used in protective gear.

Last year, a sample of the ApNano material was subjected to tests in which a steel projectile traveling at a speed of up to 1.5 kilometers per second slammed into the material.

Executives said the impact was the equivalent to dropping four diesel locomotives onto an area the size of a human fingernail.

They said the nano-based armor, which stemmed from a new carbon form called Inorganic Fullerenes, withstood the impact.

They hope to begin selling the armor by 2009.


Thanks to the A-Man.

Hey, Ace actually read Drudge all by himself for once Allah. Gotta cut the guy a little bit of slack.

Argh. I sent that to Ace just before it went up on Drudge.

All right, I'll stand down on this one.

This reminds me of the scene in Three Amigos where the German challenges Martin Short to a duel. "No one can be as fast as you appear to be." "I am that fast!"

I am that fast.

My favorite Iranian chant after a religious ceremony:

"At the end of the political speech there is the obligatory chant, "Death to America." Microphones and cameras are always poised for the moment. Today the chant is fairly lackluster. "It doesn't have much meaning anymore," one insider tells me."

The hell is doesn't!

Just to put this into some military perspective, 1.5km/s is almost twice the muzzle velocity of the M82 .50 rifle (0.854km/s).

I thought you got best conservative blog? How come I have to go to yesterday's posts before I get anything to do with the Abramoff, Delay or NSA scandals? Oh, wait one, those aren't going so well for your team, so not posting about them is going to make people forget about them?

Pull your head out of the sand and start encouraging your readers to keep informed, keep active and tell thier representatives to prosecute lawbreakers (of EITHER party) and maybe people will have some faith in the conservative cause. Otherwise, ur an apologist for the culture of corruption.

Thanks for your editorial input, Larry the Urbanite!

I don't know how Ace ever got to be as popular a blogger as he has become without kowtowing to your particular demands.

Glad to know you are assuming content patrol duties now, though.

Cause that means the sky is the fucking limit!

Although, I do suspect that the time you spend making editorial decisions will take you away from your day job at NASA, in which you are this close to finally discovering how to split atoms with the crazy delicious power of your mind!

Posted by: Jack M. on January 9, 2006 05:40 PM

Larry's got a point.

I think.

Posted by: Bravo Romeo Delta on January 9, 2006 05:41 PM

How come I have to go to yesterday's posts before I get anything to do with the Abramoff, Delay or NSA scandals?

Funny, I'd have thought that your post would have contained some news, something relevant and important that had happened between yesterday and today which would justify Ace putting up a new post. But I don't see it. If I didn't know better, I might think that you're an apologist for the culture of corruption. Why do you hate the little guy, Larry?!

(I'm probably gonna regret posting this when Larry the Urbanite posts a link dump of everything he knows about those stories, completely missing the point.)

Larry's got a point.

Posted by: Biff Boff on January 9, 2006 05:51 PM

I dunno..I think Larry the Urbanite (if that is his real name) needs to become acquainted with either Thomas Jefferson's quotes on the subjects he likes, or that he should be introduced for a session with Timmy in the Well to determine what's really behind his bile.

Either course of action would be interesting.

Posted by: Jack M. on January 9, 2006 05:53 PM

larry maybe you should be worrying about those 40 dem senators who were on the abramoff take because we kkkknnnnooooooowwwww how sincere you are about getting to the bottm of this pile. throw them all out and most like we'll end up with 60-40 repub majority. smirk

Posted by: ron on January 9, 2006 05:54 PM

If they could have made condoms out of this stuff, Dick Cheney might never have had a lesbian child.

That's a mighty big if there Biff... I'm sure this stuff is outstanding against small arms fire, but Cheney's cock? Surely you jest...

Posted by: Hector on January 9, 2006 05:55 PM

Well, Larry it’s because no indictments have been handed down in the Abramoff thing, and anything blogged about it is useless speculation. Besides, Abramoff was pretty liberal (heh) in spreading the money around, so it’s likely the Dems will get smacked by this one too. The case against Delay is flimsy as hell, and until he gets his day in court everything is more useless speculation. AND the biggest thing about the NSA “scandals” is how bad the CIA is about leaking highly classified National Security stuff. Finally, being a conservative isn’t ALL about politics, politics, politics, politics, politics, politics, politics, politics, politics, politics, politics, politics, politics, politics.

Posted by: Enas Yorl on January 9, 2006 05:56 PM

I'm jest sayin'. And don't call me surely.

You know, it just shows how in the bubble Bush really is. In his headlong, frenzied rush to war, he failed to consider that if he waited a short 6 years, our poor, defenseless, redneck, babykilling, no-other-option-in-life soldiers could have had this armor.

Spin that, bitches. Larry does have a point, why is this thread not devoted to what he wants it to be about?

Posted by: joeindc44 on January 9, 2006 06:22 PM

OK, Larry the Orkanite, here is some actual "news" relating to your "NSA scandals", domestic surveillance, etc. Reported by MSNBC no less! Now there's quality for ya.

"Homeland Security opening private mail"!!!http://www.ms*nbc.msn.com/id/10740935/

I suppose the headline "DHS Carefully Follows Its Own Non-Secret Publicly-Posted Rules Which Have Been In Existence Longer Than DHS or the Patriot Act: Opens Foreign Letter, Finds Nothing, Passes Letter on to Recipient with Notification of Opening" wouldn't grab the attention, ya know?

Damn you Larry the Orkanite for forcing me to post according to your whims! Damn You!

Posted by: Mark on January 9, 2006 06:46 PM

Back to ace's point, though: this armor is great and all, but where the heck are we gonna get the nanosoldiers small enough to wear it? I mean, you gotta think these things through.

Posted by: Mark on January 9, 2006 06:53 PM

Hmmm, target rich environment. Let's see: My point was, this is supposed to be the BEST conservative blog, and the top three posts are about armor, the Dow going over 11000 (inevitable, so not really news), and Chris Klien? Poor stuff, with major investigations going on all about DC. I'm jest saying (and that's what comment threads are fer, right?) And, silence implies consent (to those being investigated)

Jack M. : It's called "feedback" and it's what blogs are all about. You are quite poetic in your frothy rage, tho'

BRD: Thanx. Prolly the only support I'll ever get
here.

Sandy B: Oh, u know it all already I'm sure, down to the last GOP talking point. but See below.

Ron: U ignorant, talking point slut. U know that them recieving legal money is not the issue here (as much as the GOP slander machine would like the masses to believe it is). Combine the words Democratic, illegal and abramoff in a sentence, and u'll have a story I haven't seen yet.

Jack M. again: What's that Lassie? Timmie's in the Well and the Republicans are gonna lose a majority in the House or Senate in 2006 AND the WH in 2008? I'd believe the talking dog, Mark.

Enas: Every other traditional news outlet and blogger in the country is writing (ok, speculating, but still) about the scandals. Why not here, is what I'm saying. It's suspicious and makes me respect the blogger less.


Joeindc: Um....Thanks! I think.

Boy, I needed that just the other day when five locomotives landed on my breasts.

Posted by: rd on January 9, 2006 07:07 PM

Mark: Well, that has nothing to do with any of the scandals, except as background filler as to what is legal, like when Carter and Clinton didn't break the law.

Posted by: BrewFan on January 9, 2006 07:19 PM

Larry,

I have a great idea. Why don't you type up the posts and links you'd like to see here, and pass them on to me via email, and I'll promptly put each of them up?

Wait, there might be some delay before your email and the actual posting... okay, how about this: to cut down on the time it takes to get your scary-important musings on the internet, why don't you go over to Blogger.com and start your own blog, and then I'll read that every fifteen minutes, and then re-copy your posts on to my blog.

That way, your posts will already be up for some period of time before I get around to reposting them here.

Actually, I just had an even better idea! It goes like this: you start your own blog, I never read it, not even once, and I never hear from you again!

Sound good? Let's give it a shot!

Thanks for all the attention, now get out of my face already.

Posted by: ace on January 9, 2006 07:20 PM

Urban Larry, Ace's site sucks. He is teh real terrorist.

Not only does routinely violate the sacred copyrights of serious bloggers, he uses the blog to creat a false consciousness for mind-numbed robots, where so-called conservatives are distracted from real issues like Bush's pending impeachment for listening in on American citizens who were innocently speaking to Al Qaeda's non-profit Afghanistan public school systems.He certainly never dares speak of Delay's impending death sentence. As for this Abramoff, Ace dares not speak his name. Really, Ace knows he can't speak on the issues, so he peppers this copyright violating "blog" solely with entertaining trinkets.

All in all, I prefer the conservative New York Times, where true conservatives get their talking points. They don't placate.

Posted by: joeindc44 on January 9, 2006 07:21 PM

Ha Ha. The Lefty trolls are all wound up because nobody cares about their latest moment of outrage.

The MSM and the DNC have finally been compromised in the public's eye. They have cried wolf too many times to keep their credibility.

What's the flavor of the week, Bill?

Same old shit, Phyllis. More whining and investigations of alleged wrong-doings of the Republicans from the Democrats.

Oh, okay then, Bill, let's watch Wheel of Fortune.

Posted by: Bart on January 9, 2006 07:26 PM

No, this site really does suck. Time, anyway. I keep looking for ALL the news here, and I can't find it. It's full of stuff Ace wants to comment on only. What the fuck is up with that? Where do I get comprehensive news commentary?

Posted by: rd on January 9, 2006 07:27 PM

Hit a nerve Ace? I'm jest saying your blog is ppretty sucky, far as political content goes. The competition must be pretty poor if you won for best conservative blog.

Don't like my opinion? Ban me, fascist. They let all kind of wingnuts at the liberal sites, because liberals think a good discussion is productive, not threatening. Which, by the way, is what your reply to me was. You sound very angry, Ace. Let me guess, not enough hugs from Mommy and Dad was very strict?

Posted by: larry the Urbanite on January 9, 2006 07:28 PM

He said "fascist."

Posted by: rd on January 9, 2006 07:31 PM

Yeah - I need a shower now. You guys know nothing gets me off like someone resorting to the old standby. Remember the dude who (1) called me fascist (2) because I'm Jewish stated that when I was circumsized my testicles were chopped off.

That guy was the best. Cliched political insults and Jew baiting - two classics that go great together.

Yes, indeed, I'm the angry one here.

Let me guess, not enough hugs from Mommy and Dad was very strict?

They did their best. They was just circus folk, after all.

I'd ban you, but that would be placating, and I don't placate. Sometimes you just have to tell her "no."

I mean, if it's a two-week spark-off, fuck it, have a blast. But otherwise, you just have to be firm.

Posted by: larry the Urbanite on January 9, 2006 07:48 PM

larry -

It is exactly like commie. I've made the point before that people coming here throwing out fascist relentlessly is just as stupid as right wingers who throw commie at everybody they disagree with.

Besides the fact that it indicates the user is not really looking for respectful discussion, it's just tired and uninspired. Predictability is a drag.

Larry_U,

OK, you're right.

The blog sucks.

Really, it does.

All good things are inevitable.

All bad things are Bush's fault and that of his NeoConMcHaliburtonJewNaziBloodforOil Cabal.

OK, you made your point.

We all agree, you're smart.

You're Urbane.

You're better.

There, I said it.

Posted by: Sue Dohnim on January 9, 2006 08:21 PM

Now you meanies done it.

Larry the Sophisticate tries to raise a valid point, about how come a thread devoted to a new type of body armor doesn't deal with Delay, Abramoff or the NSA "scandal."

Ace, like many fascists, responded by brutally (and unilaterally) suggesting that if Larry of the City doesn't like it, he can piss on a tree. As Thomas Jefferson said, "beware the blogger who beats the drum of 'suck it, wuss'." This attempt to disenfranchise the Larold led to the only rational response, Larry curled up in a fetal ball and started calling us you home-schooled morons names.

Larry raises a valid point for all of us who try to make bloggers care about what Larry cares about. That's why Larry hasn't bothered to click on some of my links or reading posts that actually discussed these issues. BTW, if you want a real blog, this guy, Tubino, is really with it. He usually links to the kind of insiteful blogs that Ace wishes he had. Check it out, he grew into himself fairly late. The first girl he was ever with, you know, kissing and getting blow jobs, he was a freshman in high school and she was a senior. And she was hot too, by the way.

Posted by: joeindc44 on January 9, 2006 08:25 PM

Wait! Wait! I missed a good troll-beating! Is it too late to take my shots at Larry The Amazing Marxist Fuckwit, or did he run off crying already?

Posted by: Monty on January 9, 2006 08:26 PM

Ban me, fascist.

I'm in a helpful mood so, if you want to get banned, go here and tell the host he's wrong. Don't worry if you're not sure what he's wrong about, it doesn't really matter.

Posted by: BrewFan on January 9, 2006 08:26 PM

My favorite part is how wordy he is, but he's still too stupid to spell out "your" or "you're" instead of "ur".

Which is it, Larry? Are you too stupid to know the difference between the two, or are you too stupid to realize that you can save a lot more time by SHUTTING THE HELL UP instead of saving two or three keystrokes with "ur"?

Posted by: Sortelli on January 9, 2006 08:31 PM

You think Sue gives great Marxist dialogue so far? Wait until she unloads something like "running dog Capitalist opressors" or "Bourgeois neo-colonialist lackeys of Zionist paymasters". It's bliss.

Larry the Urbanite:
Sandy B: Oh, u know it all already I'm sure, down to the last GOP talking point.

No, I don't. I don't pretend to. I'm totally out of it. I'm waking up from a two-week Unicum bender, so I haven't read the latest GOP memo. And the last VRWC check from my neocon puppet masters bounced, so I'm in a pissed off mood. If the democrats can get some real dirt on the GOP, more power to 'em. Screw the GOP.

Every month or two for the last five years, there has been some outrageous scandal which has reduced democrats to frothing at the mouth or literally weeping in congress. Some of them turn out to be real problems (always quite different from the initial hyperventilating accusations), most turn out to be absolute nonsense. Turn down the volume, tone down the beating of breasts and gnashing of teeth, and maybe I'll pay closer attention. I know republicans are capable of bad things, and I want a "loyal opposition".

You complained that Ace hasn't posted about something which you said he posted on just yesterday. I gave that complaint the respect it deserves.

So wake me up when anybody gets convicted. Until then, quit your screeching. My head is throbbing.

"It's f**king f**ked."
-- reportedly a genuine comment offered by a "senior Labour source"
Correction: I wrote that Labour is losing 88% (now 87%) of the seats it is "defending." I think that's wrong. The right way to say it is the seats they are contesting -- that is, they don't necessarily already hold these seats, but they have put up a candidate to run for the seat. It's still very bad but not as bad as losing 87% of the seats they already held.

🚨ED MILIBAND [a Minister in Starmer's government] SAYS KEIR STARMER WILL RESIGN AS PRIME MINISTER

He has reportedly reassured Labour MP's that Starmer will be resigning following the disastrous results tonight

It's over
"The end of the two party system in the UK" as first the Fake Conservatives and now Labour chooses political suicide rather than simply STOPPING THE INVASION
Incidentally, the only reason this didn't already happen in the US is because of the Very Bad Orange Man (who is right on 85% of all policy calls and extremely, existentially right on 15% of them)
No political party that is NOT also a doomsday religious cult would EVER choose a cataclysmic loss -- and possible extinction as a party -- to support a toxically unpopular favoritism of NON-CITIZEN ILLEGAL MIGRANTS over actual citizen voters.

Only a cult does this.
Now they've lost 84%.
Annunziata Rees-Mogg
@zatzi
If this continues Labour loses 2,148 seats tonight.

That is much worse than the worst case predictions I’ve seen.

Cataclysmic

Update: They've now lost 88% of the seats they're defending. As I mentioned earlier, I think I heard that London will not bail them out, as many of those Labour seats will probably flip to "Muslim Independent" or Green. Detroit's 5am vote will not save them.
Yup, Labour is losing 80% of its seats...
The British Patriot
@TheBritLad

🚨 BREAKING: Labour have lost 80% of all seats contested as of 2:25 AM.<
br> If this continues, Keir Starmer will be out of office next week.

Reform has surged and projected to pick up between 1700-2100 seats.


Wow, up to 1700-2100 seats. It's not incredible that this is happening. It's incredible that the Davos crowd is so absolutely determined to privilege Muslim "migrants" over the actual native population who elects them, no matter how loudly the natives scream that they want to be prioritized, that they will gladly self-extinguish as a party rather than simply representing the interests of their own voters. Astonishing.
Remember, when they call other people "cultists" -- they are the ones so imprisoned in their social reinforcement and discipline bubbles that they will choose political death rather than dare upset the Karen Enforcement Officers of their cult.
Update: Now they've lost 83% of the seats they were defending.

@DPJHodges

Reform are basically wiping Labour out in the North. It's not a defeat. It's not even a rout. Labour are simply ceasing to exist.


Nick Lowles
@lowles_nick

Tonight’s results are calamitous for Labour. Not just for Keir Starmer's leadership, but for the very future of the party
STARMERGEDDON: In early returns, Reform gains 135 seats, Labour loses 90, the Fake Conservatives lose 36 (and I didn't even know they could fall any further), the Lib Dems lose 4, and the Greens gain 6. Note that the only other party gaining seats is the Greens and they're only gaining a handful of seats.
Update: Reform now up 145, Labour down 98.
Labour projected to lose Wales -- where they've ruled for 27 years.
Fulton County Georgia just discovered 400 boxes of ballots for Labour
Update: REF +156, LAB -107, CON -45
Brutal: In four out of five council seats where Labour is defending, they've lost. 80%.
I'm sure it's not this simple, but Reform is straight taking Labour's and the "Conservatives'" seats. They've lost almost exactly what Reform gained. If understand this right (and warning, I probably don't), all of London's council seats are up for election, and Labour might lose hugely there, as their old voters abandon them for Reform, Muslim Indenpendents, and the Greens.
REF +190, LAB -134, CON -56.
Updates on the Labour collapse in council elections -- which wags are calling #Starmergeddon -- from Beege Welborne. There are about 5000 seats up for grabs, Labour is expected to lose 1,800, Reform will probably gain 1,580, up from... zero. So this would be more than that.
People claim that while Labour has adopted the Sharia Agenda to appeal to the million Muslims it allowed to migrate to the country, those voters are ditching Labour to vote for the Muslim Independent Party or the Greens. Delicious. This shadenfreude is going straight to my thighs.
Oh, and if Starmer loses about as badly as expected, Labour will toss him out of a window Braveheart style and replace him. He will announce he is resigning to spend more time with his Gay Ukrainian Male Prostitutes.
Media bias and senationalism are as old as, well, the media:
