Hey Britain and France, whatcha up to today? OH NOTHING just accusing Iran of having the most secret and evil nuclear facility ever before the G20. There is also this Thai place in downtown Pittsburgh that we have been meaning to try. [New York Times] Najibullah Zazi is probably the most self-realized terrorist the U.S. [...]
Great photo here from Pittsburgh, the growing & thriving American business city! Huh? Oh, nevermind, 1958 ended a while ago. Tomorrow Pittsburgh will host the latest G20 conference, but NO FOREIGNS ALLOWED. [Flickr]
The teevee shows Mad Men and 30 Rock LITERALLY WON the Emmy Awards last night. [New York Times] President Obama will visit the UN for the first time next week, as will, presumably, some very excited sixth graders from North Jersey. Both will be avoiding Ahmadinejad and Gaddafi.

About 5 million jobs have now been lost in this current Great Recession. And stocks are [...]
The YouTubes are flooded with protest videos from G20 where, in quieter quarters, Obama is giving the Queen an iPod filled with libidinous American “noise.” This offers a good Aerial Shot, though, of the protesters — whose parents are probably inside the conference, deciding interest rate policy — taunting the Bobbies, who simply have to [...]
What is up here? George Bush is not shaking anybody’s hand, nobody’s shaking his hand, it is an international diplomatic crisis! It will be nice to have a President whom the leaders of other nations do not find so physically revolting they can’t stand to touch him briefly. [YouTube]
