I<\/span> guess, I should mention about the news today: I read that there’s a full war going on between Georgia and Russia<\/a>, after Georgia sent troops into break-away and pro-Russia province South Ossetia. As a result, Putin ordered troops into Georgia to protect ‘Russian interests’. And this is the part I love: while most newsagencies have this conflict at the top of their pages, CNN carries John Edward’s extra-marital affair<\/a><\/em> as the main headline. USA, USA!\n<\/p>\n

The Olympic games have started and the official site is a kind of a bore<\/a>. I hear the opening ceremony was fantastic<\/a>, but honestly, am I supposed to care about the Games? I also noticed that if you look for Olympic Games on Google, the result page will show an up-to-date list of recently awarded Olympic Medals<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

And if you’re a US citizen, the US Homeland Department wants you to know that if you’re visiting China, you may become a victim of Chinese spying programs<\/a>.

Update<\/em>: Hilarious question at Yahoo’s about the Russian invasion in the state of Georgia<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Update 2:<\/em> Even Google is wrong sometimes<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n

Update 3:<\/em> 1930s (or so) Marital test<\/a> (via Metafilter<\/a>).\n<\/p>\n

Update 4:<\/em> Fox News host insist to talk about Edwards affair<\/a>, instead of discussing Georgia conflict.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
