Big Brother in the sky

NYT: Difficult to resolve safety and security obstacles may prevent the Federal Aviation Administration from meeting a deadline to allow civilian drones routine access to U.S. skies within three years, according to a report released Tuesday by a government watchdog.

Industry forecasts have pegged the potential worldwide market for commercial and military drones at nearly $90 billion over the next decade, more than half of that in the U.S.

Let's all sing it together:

A funny thing

I watched half of a movie the other day. It was called "Menno's Mind" and it was about a creepy big-brother future for our country. It's not a good movie but one thing in it made me laugh. There's this incredibly negative character who's running for president, and his campaign slogan is, "Until the Good Times Return".

I love it -- a slogan that lets you know the candidate has no intention of fixing anything. He's just going to preside over the bad times. The whole thing screamed "Romney" at me. He'd love a slogan like that.

We are definitely entering big brother times. All hail the drones!
