Question Answered


November 5th, 2008

I remember debating with friends back in college: Of a non-white President, a female President or a non-Christian President, which will we see first? Well, now we know the answer.

Congratulations to Mr. Obama, and I hope he does a better job than Bush did.

I still don’t expect to see an openly atheist President in my lifetime, though.

Funny NYT Headline


August 26th, 2008

My favorite headline of the day: New Fears of a Downtown in Germany. I can just imagine the suburbanites running, screaming, “Help! The downtown is coming!” (Or rather, “Helfe! Das downtown kommt!” Sorry, I don’t know the German word for “downtown.”)

Of course, they mean “downturn”, and will probably fix the headline pretty quickly, but as of when I’m posting this, it says “downtown”.

Mugabe isn’t even pretending anymore that he’s not going to steal the election, is he?
