...photosynthesis, advanced batteries and other technologies he envisions as low-emissions "game changers." Chu plays up his geeky image - he gave Jon Stewart a Nerds of America Society T shirt on-air - but he's no ivory-tower ingenue. "Energy," he says, "is all about money." He cut his teeth in the entrepreneurial culture of Bell Labs and spent the rest of his career around Silicon Valley; he's served on the boards of a battery company, a semiconductor firm and two biotech start-ups. In his last job, he shook up the bureaucracy of DOE's Lawrence Berkeley National...

He swiped everything from pasta al pesto to a half-pound of butter off the kitchen table, ran around the yard with a neighbor's flip-flop between his teeth, and even left a summer-holiday gift on another neighbor's driveway.

I respond through gritted teeth as I clutch my purse and hold onto the seat like my life depends on it, probably because it does...
Orly Taitz is an attorney. She's also a real estate agent. And a dentist. But when Taitz isn't in court, showing homes or drilling teeth, she's become the wide-eyed queen of the so-called birther movement - that subset of individuals who still, despite all evidence, don't believe Obama was born a citizen of the United States. She's leading the calls for Hawaii to release Obama's "true" birth certificate (though Hawaii has already released Obama's Certification of Live Birth) and has even produced what she purports to be Obama's true Kenyan birth...
