Dispelling the Myth of Election 2000: Did Nader... →

Nader/Gonzalez info: http://www.votenader.org First paragraph of article: George Bush beat Al Gore by only 543 votes in Florida. Gore needed Florida’s electoral votes in order to win the presidency. He did not get them. Gore’s diehard Democratic Party supporters have declared Green Party presidential candidate Ralph Nader the reason their candidate lost the 2000 presidential election, even...

wreckandsalvage: Good Morning (via Wreck & Salvage on Vimeo) We farmed a good two months of GMA and boiled it on down to this sweet six. Put it in a jar and store it down in the basement in case of emergency. This is one of the best W&S videos. It is a hypnotic look at the dodgy media and ‘gator blood’! I implore you to WATCH THIS!

Money to Burn →

stever-: An article which points out that the traditional British celebration of Bonfire Night is increasingly being supplanted by a very American version of Hallowe’en. I concur with much of the article. When I were a lad, Hallowe’en was celebrated, but in a rather low-key way. It usually consisted of making a witch’s hat at school, and later walking up and down the street with a sheet over...

Change Big Donors Can Believe In →

By Amy Goodman Change is at hand. Barring a repeat of the protracted Florida recount of 2000, there will be a victor soon in the U.S. presidential election. With the economic crisis, change is something in your pocket that you want to hold on to. The campaigns are not dealing in small change, though.

Recipes on packets - Lyall's latest crazy blog...

Many grocery items have recipes printed on product packaging. Typically the product is the main ingredient. I assume manufacturers provide recipes using their products to increase sales and perhaps appear helpful or good value.
