I am surprised as well, all of that CGI has to come at a price, the city must charge huge rates to close down streets.

“we cannot allow the pen to become mightier than the sword.” Stewart knocked Lonegan for the statement, saying that the pen being mightier than the sword is “only the basis for our civilization.”
Jon Stewart does it again. Good stuff.

Can Science Resurrect God? New Scenario Says 'Yes' →
“For faith to thrive, our concepts of God must adapt to our evolving scientific knowledge.”
Seems to me this is an inherent flaw in thinking about theology. Faith, god, words, do not evolve, they stay the same, that’s what makes them true. If I write a book now, its meaning should not change whether I read it now or a million years from now. If I believe in a god now, why...
Vimeo Sued By Capitol Records Over Lip Dubs →
zachklein:
I roared with a belly laugh when I read this headline in bed earlier today. Could Capitol Records truly be this misguided? Do they not realize that if you were to sort Internet brands by those most emblematic of creativity — not piracy — that Vimeo would line up at the top? Lip-dubbing is harmless and perfectly fun, and ultimately will define the aesthetic of an Internet generation....

Wow, definitely gives some perspective on earnings. How do employers, or the government for that matter, expect their workers to live off of minimum wage? Without going into details, a viable solution seems to be instituting a living wage.
O'Reilly to Huckabee, "it's not your fault."
O’REILLY: Thanks for being a stand-up guy, Governor. A lot of people want an explanation. This is a bad hombre, and you let him out. Why?
HUCKABEE: Well, Bill, first of all — the tragedy of this — if I could have known 9 years ago this guy was capable of something of this magnitude, obviously I would have never granted the commutation.
It’s sickening. The two people I...

23 Year Coma Hoax? Maybe.
23 year coma patient, an unintentional hoax? That is very well possible after numerous scientists involved with the study of facilitated communication have come forward.
According to Randi, facilitated communication could only be considered credible if the facilitator didn’t look at the keyboard or screen while supporting Houben’s hand, and helped him type messages in response to...

Hello Mr. Manson, I Mean, Dad
“Matthew says: “He sends me weird stuff and always signs it with his swastika. At first I was stunned and depressed. I wasn’t able to speak for a day. I remember not being able to eat.”
According to Matthew, the letters mainly rambled and said “crazy things” but Manson did confirm he could be his father.
In one twisted letter he wrote: “The truth is...
Pitch Three Movies, Get Three Deals
“Apparently, comedian Aziz Ansari (Parks and Recreation, Human Giant) and director Jason Woliner (Human Giant, Players) recently sat down for breakfast with Judd Apatow and pitched him three ideas for future projects. To their surprise, Apatow wanted all three.”
Wow, they went in hoping to have one idea picked up and Apatow wanted all three. Talk about GOLD! Too bad none of them...
Size of the Health Care Bill
“Size only matters in the health care debate because Republicans have turned the length of the legislation into a symbol: Big, unwieldy bill means big, overreaching government. Even bigger when you display double-spaced copies with double-wide margins and large print.

The bill passed by the House is 319,145 words. The Senate bill is 318,512 words, shorter than the House version...
