Just wrapping up the week here on the work lappie with a clearing o' the tabs. The box is running sluggish and all these Firefox tabs aren't really helping.
Rob Riggle from The Daily Show went to Iraq recently and reported back some choice comedy bits. Watch them here.
The Supreme Court recently reinstated segregation and schools across the country have reasons to worry.
Suggested Reading: NPR spent some time this week covering Iran and its influence and effect on its neighbors.
Also from NPR, a segment concerning the history of the New Deal that I enjoyed.
Bush is screwing children over by fighting to diminish a government insurance program created specifically for them. But George, if the children aren't healthy, how will they fight the GOP's War Without End?
Congress may have at least attempting to reduce the influence of lobbyists and general scumbags, but no sure illusions exist for the executive branch, which is openly sucking at the teat of big business. Now you know.
I'm not sure if I linked it or not, but awhile back a Chinese reporter issued a story about people using filthy wet cardboard to make baozi, or steamed buns, for sale as street food. He was jailed and confessed to admitting he made it all up. This coming from a country that poisons our pet food and gives our kids lead-laden toys. A country that poisons its own people to make a buck? Or a yuan or remimbi or whatever? Riiiiight. Sure it was a sham.
Anyways, now there is a report that a Chinese chopstick factory is "recycling" over 100,000 chopsticks a day. And no, no attempts at actually sanitizing them are done. Yecch.
