The Walled World

Check out this Infographic. Pretty shocking to see the world's distribution of wealth isn't it. This one image should make you think of a whole host of cultural, sociological, and religious implications....it did for me.

Dollars to donuts

There's a lot of buzz this week about the rumors that oil producing nations are going to stop pricing oil in US Dollars. The rumor is that the Gulf States are going to create some kind of "basket" or index of international currencies to try and make the price of oil more of a global concern. I won't pretend to understand all of the implications of this scenario but would it really be that bad for America? This article at least addresses some of the reasons why having the US Dollar as the defacto world currency has had both good and bad effects on US citizens.

Shhh...

Here's a compilation of Stephen Colbert's best segments regarding Don't Ask, Don't Tell.

Just write your own!

Seriously? I almost wish that I was a religious person so that this would offend me even more than it does. Talk about the ultimate example of revisionist history.

It's Growing

Watch the new Trump Tower in Chicago go from 0 to 92 stories in 2 minutes.

Word of the day

Today's word is: Pariah

I may despise Glenn Beck but I will give him credit for being a successful business person. Between his propaganda show on Fox News, radio addresses from his Berlin bunker and his manifesto quality books he has made a rather tidy fortune over the last few years. His TV and radio ratings are frighteningly good considering the vitriolic nature of his shows. That being said it should stand to reason that it is a publicists dream to get a unsolicited plug on one of his programs....or is it? Apparently the awesome rock band Muse didn't take to kindly to Beck's endorsement of their latest album titled The Resistance. Be sure to listen to the audio clip.

I love how Beck just laughs of the slight....deep down I think he knows how sad that really was. Even Lindsay Graham doesn't like Glenn's performances.

I promise...no more Glenn Beck posts today. I wonder what old Sarah Palin's up to?
