Chavs of the World Unite!

Friday, September 30th, 2005

I had never heard of “chavs” before today, but this NYT story of a 22 year old British “lout” who won the lottery a few years back is hilarious. So much for the refined British stereotype; when does the NASCAR UK season start?30lottery1841

Former Slave says “Wake Up!”

Wednesday, September 28th, 2005

The BBC this evening reported that the UN says it may pull its humitarian aid workers out of Sudan (where over 2 million people depend on their assistance) due to the danger in the region.
The Grand Rapids Press today ran an incredible story about a Sudanese former slave who says that Americans need to just “wake up”.
If you are wondering why this matters to you, I recommend Peter Singer’s “One World”.

This dude has no bones.
