Help mom! There are liberals under my bed!

There is a new children’s book out that seems to have Hillary up in arms. The Senator's spokesman attacks the illustrated story that contains a Hillary Clinton look-alike.

"Help! Mom! There Are Liberals Under My Bed!" offers a witty alternative to the usual liberal fare, demonstrating the virtues of capitalism and true diversity of expression in words and pictures that both kids and adults can laugh along with.

The book skewers a variety of well-known liberals and their philosophy in cartoon fashion, and features a villain who bears an uncanny resemblance to Hillary taxing and regulating a child's lemonade stand.

The author said: “It's ironic that Hillary's press secretary would call for more government intrusion into our lives while bashing my book.”

10x10 Cool news flash site

The site is called “10x10” and can be found here.

Every hour, 10x10 scans the RSS feeds of several leading international news sources, and performs an elaborate process of weighted linguistic analysis on the text contained in their top news stories. After this process, conclusions are automatically drawn about the hour's most important words.

The top 100 words are chosen, along with 100 corresponding images, culled from the source news stories. At the end of each day, month, and year, 10x10 looks back through its archives to conclude the top 100 words for the given time period. In this way, a constantly evolving record of our world is formed, based on prominent world events, without any human input.

It appears to use Macromedia Flash Player and is fun to see.

You can click on any of the thumbnails for more information or click a topic on the right sidebar.

It’s very unique!
