Ocean Rescue by Seol-Hee Sohn, Seung-Hyun Yoon & Cheol-Yeon Cho » Yanko Design
So, I’ve been on a few cruise ships and have had that moment at sea where I wondered what the hell would happen if the damn thing sprung a leak. Sure, they show you where your escape ship is and all – and yes, I was only in the Caribbean – but that somehow didn’t seem to be enough for me.
That’s why I really, really like this water distilling buoy thingy. If they had these on the ships I have been on, I’d probably had kept one in my cabin or attached to me at all times.

Republicans make horrible neighbors
Soledad O’Brien explores Latino experience, mixed-race heritage – CNN.com
Hopefully I can catch the series online or something but this is a good writeup as to why CNN actually produced a relevant piece of reporting.
Maybe they can fire Lou Dobbs, put Larry King out to pasture, fix Alex Castellanos, muzzle Wolf Blitzer and maybe be a reputable news organization again.
Op-Ed Columnist – Safety Nets for the Rich – NYTimes.com
We cannot continue transferring the nation’s wealth to those at the apex of the economic pyramid — which is what we have been doing for the past three decades or so — while hoping that someday, maybe, the benefits of that transfer will trickle down in the form of steady employment and improved living standards for the many millions of families struggling to make it from day to day.
That money is never going to trickle down. It’s a fairy tale. We’re crazy to continue believing it.
In short, Bob Herbert notes that we really, really, really need to stop bailing out rich people. They never learn, they never share, and they can never – ever – have enough money.
Umpire Tim McClelland makes the worst call of all time – Big League Stew – MLB – Yahoo! Sports
Even when the Yankees are winning, the umpires can’t help but to fall over themselves and make shitty calls that benefit the Yankees.
I swear, if it isn’t some kid actively interfering with the game, it’s the umps.
BBC NEWS | UK | Magazine | What is a fascist?
The BBC tries to get to the bottom of this particular brand of political name calling.
What is clear is that calling someone a fascist delves into muddy waters. What is for sure though, a fascist is definitely not a liberal. You are either talking about racists, or corporate-owned government types who hate democracy, or just general jingoistic thugs.
While this may not necessarily mean the GOP is fascist – at least applies to every Republican – it sure as hell makes it a useless tag to put on most Democrats, particularly the President.
Granted, most of you probably already knew this, but I just wanted an authoritative source to add more proof that whoever is running or ramrodding the GOP are complete idiots divorced from reality, logic, or truth.
