ScrappleFace and others

LOL! I just discovered ScrappleFace! It's hilarious! I have been surfing blogs and have found some gems: editorial cartoons, comics, RatherGate is still pounding away at cBS, overlawyered has a good post:

"A Jeannette woman who was slightly injured after being struck by a train while walking along railroad tracks sued Norfolk Southern Corp. Thursday for failing to warn pedestrians that trains travel on tracks." Patricia Frankhouser suffered a broken finger as well as cuts and scrapes; her lawyer, Harry F. Smail Jr. of Greensburg, "argues that the railroad was negligent for failing to post signs warning 'of the dangers of walking near train tracks and that the tracks were actively in use.'" (Matthew Junker, "Woman struck by train sues railroad", Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, Nov. 5). Other counts in the suit include the railroad's failure to put up gates and the failure of its engineer to stop faster or yield the right of way. ("Jeannette woman sues railroad", Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Nov. 9).

an interesting opinion poll (hat tip: Chrenkoff):

Egypt: Positive: 2.8% Negative: 95.9%

Turkey: Positive: 17.5% Negative: 66%

Pakistan: Positive: 14.4% Negative: 65.1%

Iraq: Positive: 35.5% Negative: 60.5%

Saudi Arabia: Positive: 9.4% Negative: 56.5%

Bosnia: Positive: 49.2% Negative: 45.9%

Afghanistan: Positive: 65.9% Negative: 9.6%

Kosovo: Positive: 95.9% Negative: 1.8%

Hmm... The Arab/Muslim countries (Egypt, Turkey, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia) that we haven't invaded like us less than the ones we have invaded (Iraq, Afghanistan); a country we liberated a couple of years ago (Kosovo) likes us incredibly and in the country we liberated them from (Bosnia), it's practically 50-50.
