I read an interesting article on Gismodo.com about the new 8-megapixels iPhone camera and that “Canon is reportedly testing a new DSLR with 75-megapixels.” Adam Clark Estes, the author of the article, then asked these questions: “But how many megapixels is the human eye?

Liberals have a few political patron saints, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, and John F. Kennedy, to name just four. Some might say Barack Obama, but his halo is beginning to tarnish. He’s still in the running. It’s hard for liberals to reject a political messiah that they
