Gary’s shared linksWASHINGTON, DC, USA NAFTA has been in the news a lot lately. Unfortunately, not many people (myself included) really understand it. A friend asked me today to explain it to him. I was able to give him the very basics. I think this is stuff that everyone should know, so I thought I’d post our [...]

STRATFORD, NJ, USA Check out the reporter who questions Condoleezza Rice 45 seconds into this report: http://www.voanews.com/mediaassets/urdu/2007_12/Video/wmv/Rice%20Reaction-v.wmv It’s half-English, half-Urdu. But it’s only about 2 minutes long, and you might find it interesting. Especially if you know the reporter.

My boss was the one who set up the visit, and she arranged for some tea for Benazir. The tea was served, but Benazir wanted cream. So, my boss tasked [...]

I’ve been getting a lot more comments than usual the past few days. I’m not exactly sure why, but I’ll take it! So, I thought I’d use this moment of popularity to try to play-up the interactivity of my blog by posing you a question: If you could meet anyone, whom would you meet? I know, I [...]

I say, old chap, it’s time for the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup! That’s right, when I wake up in a few hours, the opening match of the World Cup will be under way in Jamaica, and, as you can see above: I only own a toy cricket bat. I really do need a shave. I’ll [...]

No, not me, silly! John McCain! And Vice-President? Rudy Guiliani! It’s not an endorsement (nor is it a condemnation; we’re still WAY too far out for either), just a prediction. Here’s how I see it: Basically, everyone else who is running so far has a major Achilles’ heal. Hillary is divisive, Obama is inexperienced, Richardson [...]

SU was just on CNN. I miss it. ANYWAY, why, per my last post, am I dreading 26? The people want to know! Well, for statistical purposes, some organizations use 26 as a cut-off date for being a “youth.” That means no more discounts! (Not that there are many left anyway, but still.) I thought [...]

Link du jour: Newshour with Jim Lehrer takes an in-depth look at the Voice of America. I could have thought of a few more issues to raise, and a few more angles too look at some of the issues already presented, but all in all, this is exceptionally well done. (And it’s cool to see [...]

You ever feel like you can’t win? I told my grandmom that my mom and I were going out for an hour or so tonight. She got upset, since she gets suspicious whenever my mom and I are together and she isn’t there. Then I explained to her that we’re just going to the DMV [...]
