During the first 100 hours of the new House, Pelosi has pledged, according to Newsweek, to “drain the swamp” of GOP muck by enacting all of the 9/11 Commission’s recommendations (why weren’t they enacted earlier?), raising the minimum wage, and promoting stem cell research...

As a hygienic bonus, expelled air and collected water are thoroughly filtered. The Airblade hits gas or, rather, petrol stations in Britain this fall and will probably find its way into...
