Paul Hackett, have you no shame?
Sad. (watch the video)
The ease with which Hackett calls Dan Senor a Nazi (or Nazi-like) makes my stomach turn, especially since Senor’s mother is a holocaust survivor.
bush: “we will {{flush}} the chocolate city”
George Bush’s speech marking the anniversary of Hurricane Katrina was interrupted for CNN viewers when one of the network’s presenters forgot a cardinal rule of broadcast journalism – turn your microphone off when you go to the toilet.

Squiggly Border Theory
This is just fascinating…
Some nations are just doomed from the start, often because their borders are not squiggly enough. That’s the conclusion of a recent NBER study by Harvard economists Alberto Alesina and Janina Matuszeski and NYU’s Bill Easterly.
…
The researchers then set out to find whether artificial states with straight, partitioning borders do any worse [...]

MemorySuppliers.com
After I purchased a memory upgrade through their website, they emailed to ask if I would like $5 back on my order? (who wouldn’t?) They promised that if I posted a link to their site from mine, mentioning some of the keywords they want to be associated with, I would receive $5. [...]

This clip from Japanese baseball is pretty cool. And unlike some other videos I’ve posted, it’s not one of the most popular clips on Youtube.
Weirdest Music Video Since…
Since I posted a great music video a little while ago, it is only appropriate to post this classic from David Hasselhoff.
Hooga hooga ooga chakka.
That must be Swahili for “I’ve come along way since Knight Rider.”
As a side note, I had to google “Hasselhoff” to see if I was spelling his last name correctly…which led [...]

I found a sweet world politics site the other day while browsing for news about Mexico’s election.
When I was in Mexico before the presidential election, Tijuana was plastered [...]
