How I was keeping my mind clean this week:
- Star Wars Uncut is recreating the movie from scratch using 15 second user-submitted clips. Trailer here. First full scene here.
Important facts:
- Marriages may be decreasing, but partnerships are up, and the sum of the two are increasing. At least, that's the way it is in France.
- Increased sex drive among women tends to be towards both men and women, whereas increased sex drive among men tends to be for one gender or the other. RTWT, lest ye jump to conclusions.
Things to watch in the future:
- Afghanistan is doing really, really poorly. Matthew Yglesias reports on how dependent Afghanistan is on US money, and a new Pentagon Report seems bleak. And General McCrystal said that "Nobody is winning."
Updates on previous "Things to Watch:"
- Question: Will Nick Clegg break through? Answer: Yes.
- Question: Will Harry Reid win his financial game of chicken? Answer: No. Wait -- Yes.
- Question: Will Charlie Crist run as an independent? Answer: Yes. And it's already proving hysterical.
