  1. Ordinary Joes have mixed feelings on wealth
    Not an entirely unfair AP article but fails to mention that income tax was originally planned to be a stop-gap measure which was to be eliminated. Unfortunately, politicians grew drunk on the power of money distribution, thus government has grown both in size and members ever since. How can article author Mr. Geller fail to even mention the idea of a true flat tax? Oh that’s right, politicians would never allow it to be voted on by the citizens. If we could only go back to 1776 and start over.
  2. Far Cry 2 (Amazon)
    No, this isn’t a recommendation. Far Cry, the original, was a pretty good game. Apparently, they gave the IP to a completely different developer who’s promptly botched it all up. Out of 55 Customer Reviews on Amazon, 42 gave the game 1 star. Ouch. Stay away! You’ve been warned. Critics apparently disagree.
  3. Rock Band 2 The Stars: Episode 2
    Here’s the 2nd episode of the reality contestant show about RB. I guess it’s kinda fun. Ok, it’s really quite lame. 8^/
  4. Is Obama a natural born citizen of the US?
    Snopes says the claim is false but you tell me if this looks like a fake birth certificate. Others think so. I would think the text would look more uneven like this one.
  5. PNC buys National City in $5.58 billion deal
    Unstable financials moves markets towards consolidation, opens doors for small, consumer-friendly competitors.
