Hillary Clinton tells Pakistan it's doing too little against Al Qaeda - http://www.latimes.com/news...
"A U.S. official said Clinton's comments about Al Qaeda were not part of a prepared message she had intended to deliver, but reflected her own heartfelt views... Clinton has earned a reputation for sometimes speaking with candor more closely associated with senators than chief diplomats." Why did she get that job again? - John Jarvis

Acid rain? Boy, that dates this one: last time I heard about that, I was in Grade 5, pasting magazine articles on Bristol board. - John Jarvis

Clean Smells Promote Moral Behavior, Study Suggests - http://www.sciencedaily.com/release...
Bizarre. Haven't looked into their sample sizes, methodology, etc., but still... unexpected. - John Jarvis

Prostitution, for fun and profit - http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment...
It's funny: I read the article she's attacking, and also thought that it was a strange, decidedly-narrow perspective. (Although I did find it interesting that 'Allie' could repeatedly raise her prices without noticing any dip in customers.) - John Jarvis

Oh, man; this is the first I've heard of this, and it leaves me wondering what else they'll come up with, now that bad ideas will rarely run up against the limits of special effects. - John Jarvis

A traveler’s plea to credit card issuers - http://rdist.root.org/2009...
Oh, man, this is so true. Second-class citizen indeed. My experience is that transactions over the phone or the 'net are the problem, though; the chip and PIN actually seems to work pretty well when I'm there, dealing with the merchant (and I'm where the credit card company expects me -- travelling without notifying them has bit me already, however). - John Jarvis

Patagonia abandons Sigg bottles - http://www.educatedguesswork.org/2009...
Incredible. I'm taking away the lesson of just how difficult it is to retroactively remove particular chemicals from any manufacturing process. - John Jarvis

Bill Cosby struck by N.L. rescue story - http://www.cbc.ca/canada...
The part about scrubbing reminded me of a story Tan's uncle told us about one of the oldest pubs around Telford called All Labour In Vain. - John Jarvis

COBOL: Everywhere and Nowhere - http://www.codinghorror.com/blog...
Wrote a heck of a lot more COBOL in my day than I care to admit. Those form letters you get? Bet there's still a ton of it behind them to this day. - John Jarvis
