Connecting the dots ...
“A former domestic policy adviser to President Bush has been charged with theft for allegedly receiving phony refunds at department stores… Allen was the No. 2 official in the Health and Human Services Department when Bush nominated him in April 2003 to the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Va.”
Poor guy made only $161K doing his government job… this is so ridiculous, I am speechless… just read it on ABC News.

The first Battle of the Bulge was the last major German offensive on the Western Front during World War II, in December-January of 1944. It was also the largest land battle the United States Army has fought to date. The historic battle has been the subject of numerous films and books, including the Battle of the Bulge made in 1965, starring Henry Fonda.
The second Battle of the Bulge is being fought entirely digitally. The new Superman, 26–year old Australian actor Brandon Routh is apparently … well, super-manly in a certain department down South. This worries studio Exec’s so much, they ordered to reduce the Bulge digitally.
Apparently, we’re still suffering from the wardrobe malfunction syndrome (isn’t it amazing there is an entry for this in Wikipedia?). The Rolling Stones gets censored, Superman (digitally) castrated, what’s next?
Update (3/9): Apparently other parts of the male anatomy need some flattening, too. This is getting scary. (hat tip: BL Ochman).
… and in some places chambermaids take care of the “flattening” (hat tip: Vinnie Mirchandani)

Inspired by Ben’s post I’ve plotted the map of countries and US states I’ve been to. Of course it’s not to scale, and the most obvious distortion is in Russia, where I’ve only been to 3 cities, and get this huge red block.
(Create your own maps here.)
Most of it was yeeeears ago. Ben, time is on your side, you’ll paint this map red before I do. 
The video below was not shot in some hidden terrorist training camp in Afghanistan, but in the state of Oklahoma, USA. All the weapons shown are available for purchase from the sponsoring vendor.
Should the embedded video not work, here’s the link.
How can any insane parent bring that little girl here? Well, perhaps after killing a few dummies and blowing up some cars they continue their nice family afternoon on a concert by these other sweet girls:
They are Prussian Blue, and the sweeties’ lyrics are like this:
“Let the cities burn, let the streets run red, if you ain’t white you’ll be dead.”
“Soon will come a great war, A bloody, but holy day. And after that purging, Our people will be free… And the forests will echo our grace, For the brand new dawn of our Race.”
“Aryan man awake, How much more will you take, Turn that fear to hate, Aryan man awake.”
What a “nice” family day…

Jason is a special education student in Greece, New York, enthusiastic supporter of his high school basketball team for years. After years of watching the game he finally was allowed to suit up, and even play in the final four minutes. What a surprise! He scored 20 points, and is now all over the Internet, CBS, MSNBC, ESPN … you name it. This is one video worth watching. (Thanks, Ben!)
Update (2/28). The embedded player I originally had here no longer works, youtube removed the video on CBS’s demand. Here’s the link to the original CBS Evening News video.
Update: (2/27): Another video here, and a post to put things in prospective: “Probably 90% of the those who view this video do not fully understand what this truly means for this boy and his family. For children with issues as big as autism, every day, every hour, every minute is a challenge … we celebrate a “good” day, one without a meltdown, bizarre behavior in the grocery store, defiance, mania, rage.” please read the post.
Update (5/5/07): The video is back on Youtube again.

Blogcritics.org speculates that Google is about to buy ailing Sun.
Ahhh, Daniel, could you not have waited till Monday so I can load up on Sun shares? At least that’s a stock I can afford, vs. Google.
Of course it’s a less ambitious speculation than mine

“Thank you for calling T-Mobile… All of our representatives are ….
… Current wait time is: 1 hour 9 minutes! “
No, this is not a joke, this is for real. They do offer a call-back option though.

My next cellphone will be a Motorkia … don’t rush to order yet…. it’s dreamt up by a bunch of VC’s interviewed by Techcomm, The National Journal of Technology Commercialization. Click the photo for details.
I wonder about the name though.. clearly the authors are thinking of Motorola+ Nokia … but have they realized Motorkia actually refers to Kia Motors? Is that the right image for this Swiss-Army-Knife-Phone? Even Motokia would have been better … although my favorite is Nokirola. 
P.S. I wonder what Steve Shu thinks about this…
Update (2/16): OM shows a few cool phones in Revenge Of Windows Mobile but hey, they are not as hot as the Nokirola 
Update (2/16): Sanyo and Nokia creating joint venture… hm… Sakia? Nonyo?
