John Kerry is reporting for duty! (Kerry previously served in Vietnam, in case you didn’t know)

Red Auerbach (1917-2006)
Red Auerbach passed away on Saturday.
Auerbach was one of the greatest basketball coaches ever. He won nine championships as the coach of the Boston Celtics and seven more as the Celtics general manager.
Time and again you hear Celtics describing Red as “a player’s coach.” To the world outside his own huddles and locker room […]

Los Tipitos - Algo
Otra vez se me olvidó hacer este post el viernes (ayer).

Eating your garden and landscaping is soooo last year for these friendly animals.

Dove Evolution - video
Watch the process of preparing a model for a photo shoot all the way to when the ad appears on a billboard…in 60 seconds.
Amazing. (but I guess it’s fauxtography)
Esto Lo Explica Todo
Bueno, no todo, pero este post por Alejandro Rozitchner es realmente iluminante.
Explica mucho de lo que hace Kirchner y me dio una perspectiva aún más amplia en cuanto a las cosas que pasan en la política argentina.

When CNN is not busy pushing Islamist propaganda, they are doing their best trying to become the People magazine of online news.
A Daily Kos contributor stripped the CNN homepage of all advertising, promotional items, sensational non-news, and gossip. Here is the result, a nearly empty page:
