Delta Scan on Wonkette

Delta Scan made it into Wonkette.

Human Rights Legislation for Rat-Brained Robot Soldiers, NOW!

While god-crazy American politicians are taking two weeks off to get drunk and IM young boys, our atheistic friends in Britain are looking towards the Future — a future of rat-brained self-aware robotic service workers and soldiers who will likely organize and demand “human” rights by 2056.

Undoubtedly the best media mention involving the Institute's work since Future Now showed up in that YouTube video earlier this year.
