Yes all governments have arseholes in them, not all governments invade other countries under the basis that "Our government is so much better then theirs they should behave like us"

When a government does that they better make dam sure there own track record is fucking spotless. And you know... isn't commiting war crimes.


[EDIT]
Suprisingly unrelated to what we we're just talking about, that data taken from wiki leaks about deaths in iraq and correlated onto google maps.

this is only place i've seen the Iraqi reaction

Oh come on, like there aren't assholes in your government too. The only difference is the assholes in charge of America have way more international power than the ones in charge of your country.

America doesn't recognise basic human rights outside of it's boarders. That's pretty horrific for the supposed leader of the free world.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck

While I am all for a bit of time travel.. to me it just looks like an old woman scratching her head. I don't think she's holding anything at all.. Her fingers move. Also old people do talk to themselves.. She might not even be talking.. she might just be muttering something to herself trying to remember something..
My favourite part of that video was the mention of an EAR TRUMPET. I will be a crazy old guy with an ear trumpet. Fuck technology.

That's standard practice on a farm. Also, lucky for her they have facebook in prison!

We may be an evil country but we have some awesome people. People like Anderson Cooper. Now he's a badass.

[Agrajag]

That article has one of the greatest metaphors I've ever read:

The strain on his face as he tries to to accomplish all this reminds me of one of Asimov's robots trying to resolve a conflict of the Three Laws.

Did anyone know he was a Vanderbilt? I didn't. It's not that important but it's like being a Rockefeller.

We may be an evil country but we have some awesome people. People like Anderson Cooper. Now he's a badass.

He seems like a good guy, and very professional about how he conducts his interviews. I hope he gets better ratings than Glenn Beck.

Also, I suspect that "I appreciate your time, thankyou." Is Anderson Cooper's code for "I think you're silly, go away."

[Desov2]

Anderson Cooper is probably the only person in actual journalism that I respect. Everyone else is idiotic.

[Ben]

shit that dude is getting nailed. That's an awesome interview.

Catholic group gets art pulled from the Smithsonian for being anti christian
Blah blah blah, christians have too much power yadda yadda.

What I love about this story is the actual art piece

Called fire in a mans belly and intended to represent the suffering of aids victims, it's a video showing a crucifix with Jesus Christ covered in ants... or if you will an anty Christ.

I wasn't aware basing art on puns could get you into the Smithsonian.

I fucking love it.

[pie]

Man, you can get anything into the Smithsonian nowadays.
