Facebook Founder Finds He Wants Some Privacy – New York Times Talk about hypocrisy… The guy responsible for publishing every user’s private details by default can’t take what he dishes out. Maybe he feels he’s entitled to more than everyone else due to being a member of the “chosen people”.

Adams v. UNCW – By Mike S. Adams
Townhall.com::Adams v. UNCW::By Mike S. Adams Reading that column made me think that I could probably sue my university or the State of New York on the same grounds. Sure, for me it may have been about being discriminated against as a student assistant and degree candidate, but Adams’ narrative sounds all too familiar.

Global warming ethics, pork and profits – By Paul Driessen
Townhall.com::Global warming ethics, pork and profits ::By Paul Driessen “[W]e must acknowledge that money to be made, and power to be gained, from climate alarmism and symbolism is a major reason so many are getting on the climate “consensus†bandwagon.” Democrats like money too, they just like to get it the cheap way.

Intel May Be Edging Toward Antitrust Showdown in Europe
Technology News: Legal: Intel May Be Edging Toward Antitrust Showdown in Europe I just can’t shake the impression that the Europe is trying to punish another American company for being innovative and successful. If you can’t manage, don’t complain if someone else can. There is nothing wrong with being the best (unless you’re American, apparently).

Will Canada be the first cashless society? I’ll make sure to send PM Harper a letter to let him know I’m laughing at Canada over the Internet when they get hit by some massive storm or terrorist attack. They may think they’re “all that and a bag of crisps” but they’re still loonies to me.
