Guested on HuffPost Live Discussing Sequester, Telepathic Mice, & Hugo Chavez

February 28, 2013 by Egberto Willies 2 Comments

I appeared on HuffPost Live today to discuss the sequester, Hugo Chavez, and telepathic mice. It was a fun panel with three HuffPost reporter/editors.

The U.S. Senate voted down opposing plans to avert the across-the-board budget cuts known as sequestration today, just a day before spending cuts take effect.

Laboratory rats have communicated with each other using brain power alone, with microscopic electrodes implanted into their brains.

Venezuela’s vice president said Thursday that President Hugo Chavez is fighting for his life while he continues to undergo treatment for cancer.
