Graphic View of U.S. Federal Budget

|

View the Federal budget graphically. I'm hesitant to post this because it contains large biases, in that it leaves out so-called "mandatory spending" on social security, medicare, and interest (these make up over 60% of the budget last time I checked) and includes a strong political message to act, based on arguably misleading information.

Nonetheless, the graphic is interesting, and as near as I can tell accurate (except as I've noted).

Google in China

Google search for "Tiananmen" (as in Tiananmen Square). On the right is the view in China, and on the Left is outside. (from azkitchen)

To see the two screens for yourself, go to image.google.cn/images?q=tiananmen for the version in China and images.google.com/images?q=tiananmen for the outside version.

Lobotomy Stories

Freaky. A man is given a lobotomy at age 12, and now searches for why this happened.
