Thought this was an interesting photo....not sure if it was taken early on or if the pockets of people are just a result of the position of the jumbo screens every couple of hundred feet. I figured people would be even more packed together than they are... Large photo: http://www.popsci.com/files/DCCM20JAN2009-970.jpg |

Identifying narcissists isn't difficult. Just look for the person who is constantly fishing for compliments and admiration while breaking down over even the slightest bit of criticism. We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences. | |

Random FML: Today, I was fired by my boss in front of my coworkers. It would have been nice if I could have left the building before they started celebrating. FML The founding of the bulk of the world's nation states post 1914 is based on self-defined nationalisms. The bulk of those national movements involve territory that was ethnically mixed. The foundation of many of those nation states involved population movements in the aftermath. When the only one that is repeatedly held up as unjust and unjustifiable is the Zionist project, the term anti-semitism may very well be appropriate. - P*D | |

5000. Another interesting bit, over 10000 cars were towed for illegally parking in private lots throughout VA and MD, |

That'd be well over $2 million in towing and impound fees! Probably closer to $4 million. |

I'm sure that was early on. Even at the low angle shown on TV, it was clear to me that the only gaps between the Capitol building and the Washington Monument were at the street crossings. |
