COMING SOON: A “Performance Hybrid” Sedan From Infiniti: “With numbers like 0-60 miles per hour is less than 5.9 seconds, a top speed of 155 miles per hour and the ability to reach 50 mph under battery power alone, we’d bet that Infiniti’s words are right on track.” Plus better than 32 mpg combined.

NETFLIX CEO: Americans Are Self-Absorbed. Yeah, cancel your Netflix subscription and join a Tea Party group.
UPDATE: Reader Hugh Myers writes: “Thought you’d be amused to learn that upon reading that Netflix charges Canadian subscribers less than American and that Mr. Hastings’ political donations overwhelmingly favor Democrats, I reduced my subscription level and therefore reduced the fees I pay Netflix. Wouldn’t it be interesting to see if a trend develops? Regardless, ‘bet he wished he had kept his big fat mouth shut on that one.”

THEY TOLD ME IF I VOTED FOR JOHN MCCAIN, THE GOVERNMENT WOULD WANT EXPANDED INTERNET SNOOPING POWERS: And They Were Right! “The Obama administration is developing plans that would require all Internet-based communication services — such as encrypted BlackBerry e-mail, Facebook, and Skype — to be capable of complying with federal wiretap orders, according to a report published Monday.”

The Philippine flag was displayed upside down behind President Benigno Aquino III when leaders of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations met Obama in New York on Friday.”
