2008 Sep 03 05:23 (#3984.11849):Does the use of percentages to refer to portion of income rather than in/decrease in taxes paid bother anyone else? I find the labelling (big colored arrows vs little text box top left) very misleading -- a 10% increase in the taxes I pay (not that I am in that category, wishful thinking) would not seem like such a big deal, but an increase in taxes equal to 10% of my income is a different story.
[NB - this is not to say that i'm horrified by or even opposed to Obama's plan, just that I think it could be better presented. Too picky?]
2008 Aug 21 11:41 (#3970.11802):Wait, it's Firefox? All this time i've thought it was the Great Firewall, and had pretty much given up on watching most videos til I get back...must go try in IE (ptooey!) now.
2008 Aug 21 12:41 (#3948.11795):This is one of the things that annoys me about US party politics. The platforms are largely meaningless except as details for the respective bases to fight (and splinter) over. Anyone can declare their allegiance to either of the big parties without actually having to adhere to (or I would argue in some cases know) what the party itself stands for. Which (independent thinking) is one thing if it actually meant something come vote time, but especially in recent years, it means less and less as the parties pull in for bloc voting. And yeah, Liebermann's officially independent now, but they want him for the same reason that they got Zell Miller in 2004 -- to punch the Dems in the gut, not b/c they think Joe is oh-so-hot. But Miller (and to a lesser extent Liebermann) shouldn't have been a Democrat in the first place, at least going by where he stood on issues. I don't know that I want to go so far as to ask for a party-loyalty pledge (eeks), but I wish people would pay a lot less attention to party branding and more to the actual candidates. </rant>

2008 Aug 07 11:37 (#3955.11731):October 14, 2438 - LUCERNE: An article published in the November issue of 21st Century Archaeology postulates that the St Etienne valley, a 2.500 square-km circular depression that is home to Coq-sur-la-pont, is actually a 400-year old man-made crater. Scientists are unclear what kind of impact might have created the crater. According to Dr Friedrich Auslichen, an archaeologist familiar with the site, "our test results don't match up with what you'd expect from an incoming meteor or other satellite. Actually, it almost seems like a bomb went off from inside the earth, and pulled everything down. But we know that's not possible."
Further tests are ongoing. Coq-sur-la-pont is best known for its famed "Well with no Bottom" and its cheese.

2008 Jul 24 11:24 (#3940.11650):Do you think the CL one is fer realz? I think it's a fine piece of writing, but... hey, maybe it's James Frey... :)
2008 Jul 24 10:13 (#3863.11649):"Hey, didja hear about Al's next party? I hear it's going to be scandalous." Graphic not quite up to NYT snuff, but when do you ever get to see the term Venn diagram in a layman publication?
2008 Jul 22 10:54 (#3931.11641):OMG, please please oh please follow the awesome cake link to the original site of the Braveheart cake story and hang out there for a little while too. You will not be sorry, I promise.
2008 Jul 15 11:44 (#3923.11614):(Ooh, I can answer this b/c a friend of mine was just there and i recognized the photos!) That's actually the S. Korean tourist point that straddles the border, so anyone can go there. That door behind the guard goes to N. Korea, and is where the incredibly off-limits portion begins (my friend's tour guide warned them strenuously not to even pretend to try to open it).
