New haircut
fun fact: this isn’t a Mitsu Zero. It’s a North American T-6 with a modified cockpit/canopy. Why is this relevant, you ask? I want one. With the modified canopy. Replace as much of the forged steel components of the cockpit (ie trim wheels, throttles, gear lever, etc) to composite materials to shave up to 500-600lbs off the empty weight.
Also, instead of the standard R-1340 @ 650hp, throw in the experimental supercharger, water methanol injection, and bore out the cylinders to up that to about 850hp takeoff/700hp sustainable. To accomodate the extra engine weight, move the main fuel tank aft of the centre, with small reserves in each wing. Strip the paint down to bare chromed aluminum, a matte black tail and your choice of nostalgic nose art.
What you end up with is an empty bank account and an insurance nightmare that sings out and about at ~275mph.

Why Newt Gingrich's moon base will remain an impossible dream
The Guardian
I feel like any airtime/bandwidth wasted on this would be better spent listing the various reasons that Newt Gingrich should not be elected president. There are a lot of reason.
Sequence from The Mill and the Cross (2011)

People who don’t own guns really need to think about this: it’s just darn fun to fire a gun. It’s interesting. It requires a lot of attention. It’s competitive. And it’s just as people say, it’s a real feeling of power to handle a firearm. That appeal is, in my view, undeniable and part of the reason that guns symbolize individualism, self-sufficiency to such a large portion of the population. I felt it myself.

Accurate.
Django Django — “Default”
A wondrous slice of psychedelic pop a la The Beta Band. Insanely inventive video too.
Between this and Grimes, 2012 is off to a hell of a start, musically speaking.
Jesus, that video must have taken forever to make.
