Touring the World Media
I like to read foreign political stories, mainly because it is so fascinating as an American to see the arguments we have here played out in other venues. Watching America is a neat web site that takes foreign newspaper stories and translates them into English -- the idea being that most English-speaking people never get to read what is written about world politics in other languages. (BTW, I have no idea about the political leanings of this site -- apologies if if offends anyone. I just think it is neat reading articles from foreign papers.) Some interesting ones from this week:
Le Monde in Paris is running an editorial about the myths of terrorism. Very interesting read, although I disagree with some of the author's conclusions.
The Russians are saying that with the recent Shuttle launch, America risks it's international prestige and image. I don't know if I would go that far -- it's kind of hard to launch a 100 shuttles and be doing too terribly, but the space program is a big mess, no doubt.
The Russians are an interesting bunch -- it's a very fascinating country and culture. Looks like they beat the U.S. to Japan to look at the A-Bomb sites in WWII, something I didn't know, according to a Japanese newspaper. They made it 20 days ahead of the Americans.
According to this Indian newspaper article, India and the U.S. have "kissed and made up" Gosh -- I hope that doesn't mean that we all have to buy each other flowers.
About this Entry
My cousin called me up and was telling me about all the weight he's lost on this strange new diet. He was really excited. So I dug around and found the link to share:
Dr. Siegal's Cookie Diet - More than 500,000 people have used his cookies to lose weight. Now it's your turn!
