For some reason the BBC World anchor is tickled pink by the fact that while tobacco smoking is now illegal in Holland, weed smoking is now legal. I mean it is pretty funny, but it makes a lot more sense to me than the reverse. Honestly though, why don’t the Dutch, or really any place, have tobacco licenses for places, like they have weed/alcohol licenses?

Also, how weird is it that both Indiana and Virginia are polling Obama now?

God damn it, when will the country once again be ours? Seriously, I want to move to Europe, somewhere where the US can legally spy on me…

Weird, Walt Whitman was the model for the character of Dracula.

Wow, Turkey just won against Croatia in an amazing game. The first 90 minutes were incredibly boring, it was 0-0. BUT in the final 30 minutes, like at 20 minutes Croatia scored, then at 29:59 Turkey equalized and penalty kicks ensued, Turkey ended up winning. Apparently it was the second time in the tourney that Turkey pulled out a victory from the jaws of defeat. They are blessed, apparently. Maybe they can pull out an EU membership from the jaws of Asian mediocrity.

Also, I’ve always thought this was an interesting saying:
When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things (The First Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians 13)

Growing up FTW?

Apparently the former guitarist of Silversun Pickups was fired for setting the lead singer’s sweater on fire. That’s really really funny to me.

“My sweater! Noooooo!”
