And you thought your life sucked… For centuries in China, the only men from outside the imperial family who were allowed into the Forbidden City’s private quarters were castrated ones. They effectively swapped their reproductive organs for a hope of exclusive access to the emperor that made some into rich and influential politicians. Sun’s impoverished [...]
Love this guy. Scary thing is, this is exactly how Michael Moore works. And finally, George W. Bush. And some balance – yea, he wasn’t the greatest speaker in the world. Neither is Obama when the teleprompter is off.
Both DPF and MacDoctor have bloged on the Herald’s scaremongering about removing of protection on trees. You’ve got to marvel at the idiots they describe.

For all the people who were quite happy to throw shoes at Bush, calling him a dictator, not one ever got shot.
Not surprising, but still deeply unsettling. Sources close to the White House say Mr Obama and his staff have been “overwhelmed” by the economic meltdown and have voiced concerns that the new president is not getting enough rest. British officials, meanwhile, admit that the White House and US State Department staff were utterly bemused by [...]
