Big in Israel: Why Jerusalem is holier than thou {Gadling}
May 1st 2008 8:07AM The easiest solution? Bulldozer. Think about it: if we knock down everything holy and sacred from each religion, we can all mourn the losses together, share in the grief together, which will bring us all closer. Utopic nihilism.

Big in Japan: Why it sucks to have US dollars {Gadling}
Mar 24th 2008 11:45AM Well, I am an economist (and a drinker), and the pain you're feeling is going to continue unabated for some time. There might be some mild relief when the Fed finally starts bringing the interest rates back up, but all these cuts are leading to inflation about 2-3 years down the road, which will keep the dollar weak until the piper comes due on the government obligations to retiring baby boomers. We've still got a good 10-15% drop vis-a-vis the rest of the world, and that won't go away until these budget and trade deficits swing to surpluses.

Aug 20th 2007 8:26PM Yes, but how much does it cost to illegally download South Park episodes? Or what about photos of the Naughty Twins?
