The recent “re-election” of Robert Mugabe in Zimbabwe got me thinking, what sort of qualities are required to be the campaign manager of a dictatorial African election? And what types of decisions need to be made in order to secure victory?
First, qualifications of a campaign manager:
1)Military experience preferred (not so much as to overtake it […]
Interested in enjoying some Rudolph on a trip to Stockholm? If so you’re in luck because lots of restaurants offer it so you don’t have to look too hard to find it.
But if you’re game, expect to shell out some cash as pretty much everyplace charges about 250 Swedish kroners ($42 US or 26 Euros) […]
5)Haul stuff using this thing, which is basically a motorized shoe box.
4)Move to Venezuela. Gas is subsidized by the government and costs about 5 cents a gallon.
3)Save empty milk containers. When gas dips below $4 a gallon, fill the trunk with milk containers and fill them up at the gas station. This could literally save […]
Oil Companies? Oil Speculators? Irresponsible consumers? Irresponsible governments? Nope, according to this new John McCain ad, there is only one person to blame for $4 a gallon gas and that is Barack Obama.

One of the things that I’ve always wanted to see in life is a day with no real night. And if you’re in Stockholm close to the summer solstice like I was, you’ll see just that. Stockholm is in the eastern part of the Central European Time zone so it’s official sunset isn’t insanely late […]
Woohoo! The Democratic National Convention is just over a month away and homeless people can barely contain their excitement. Why? Because they’re going to the zoo!
Not only that, but the Colorado Coalition for the Homeless is also planning on scoring them 500 movie tickets as well as tickets for the Denver Museum of Nature and […]
Pretty much everything in Stockholm is pricey and eating Swedish meatballs out is no exception. If you’re hanging out in the Gamla Stan (old quarter), expect to pay about 148 Swedish kroners for traditional Swedish meatballs served with boiled potatoes. And if you’re counting in US dollars or euros, which most of you are, that’s […]
Holy crap, I had to watch about two minutes of this clip before I realized this was real and not a joke. Here’s a terribly wonderful infomercial from 1994 about “mastering the internet”, featuring Napoleon Dynamites brother’s doppelganger and filmed in Florida, of course.
Did you know that in 1994 there were 10,000 people using Al […]
It wasn’t until my recent trip to Scandinavia that I learned that Red Bull has actually been banned in some countries. First I learned that it’s illegal in Denmark, then upon further reading I found out that it’s also banned in France and Norway.
So why is this magical drink that “gives you wings” banned in […]
