Glenn Beck's Bizarre Outburst Against Meatless Mondays and Vegetarians
This goes along with the story that I posted in 4.0 about Meatless Mondays in Baltimore schools Jon Stewart ended an interview with climate-change contrarian and Super Freakonomics co-author Steven Levitt on Monday night by noting, "I've apparently frightened our audience by suggesting that conservation isn't the only way out of any of the problems of the world. I sincerely apologize." He added, "And I do also believe that we should just eat vegetables."Make Veggies Stay Crisp Longer
Handy Hint - How much veggies do we waste, by forgetting to use them, or we end up throwing them out because they get wilty. Sprinkle some baking soda in your veggies crisper and cover with a cloth or paper towel for crisper veggies that last longer.Somalia's Pirates A Sad Truth
When I first read about this matter I exclaimed "this is what I'm talking about, it's not always black and white" pounding my fist on the desk, my partner looked at me and said you're thinking way to hard again. To the contrary this really takes very little thought. It only takes desire, the desire to observe every angle of a problem even if it means you may find some blood on your own hands.Oops! Killing Pigs Not Egypt's Best Idea
Belatedly, Egypt Spots Flaws in Wiping Out Pigs By MICHAEL SLACKMAN CAIRO — It is unlikely anyone has ever come to this city and commented on how clean the streets are. But this litter-strewn metropolis is now wrestling with a garbage problem so severe it has managed to incite its weary residents and command the attention of the president. “The problem is clear in the streets,” said Haitham Kamal, a spokesman for the Ministry of State for Environmental Affairs.Walmart's Project Impact: A Move to Crush Competition
Walmart loves to shock and awe. City-size stores, absurdly low prices ($8 jeans!) and everything from milk to Matchbox toys on its shelves. And with the recession forcing legions of stores into bankruptcy, the world's largest retailer now apparently wants to take out the remaining survivors.Biden’s Version
Biden’s Version By the Editors (National Review Online) There’s a line in the movie Dave in which a guy impersonating the president, looking for ways to cut the budget, asks his commerce secretary, “So, we’re spending $47 million so that somebody can feel better about a car that they have already bought?” It doesn’t cost $47 million to get Joe Biden to give a speech — he’ll talk anywhere, anytime, at great length, for free — and his address to the Brookings Institution on Thursday was intended to prevent buyer’s remorse.

I have done some spontaneous trips in the past couple of years - I haven't thought alot of things through about them, like who I'm travelling with or where I'm going to stay or whether I have enough money to get through it.

It also gives me the freedom to come up with plans as I go along.Collection of random [funny] thoughts of the day
More often than not, when someone is telling me a story all I can think about is that I can’t wait for them to finish so that I can tell my own story that’s not only better, but also more directly involves me. Nothing sucks more than that moment during an argument when you realize you're wrong. I don't understand the purpose of the line, "I don't need to drink to have fun."Katie Grand Speaks Out
The editor-in-cheif of Conde's newest, super-cool fashion magazine LOVE on her aspirations, how LOVE is different than Vogue, and breaking tradition:
“I’m really practical,” she told the Times UK. “I go to the gym most mornings and I walk everywhere, so that’s why I wear flat shoes and no make-up. It’s not vanity; it’s laziness.
The Cloward/Piven Strategy of Economic Recovery
By Nancy Coppock February 07, 2009 Using borrowed money for a band-aid bailout of the economy should seem backwards to most people. However, it likely is a planned strategy to promote radical change.
