There are also a crapton more government services now than there was in 1900 as well. Pretty much comes down to "Ok I don't like high taxes but which services could we do without?".

I'm sure alot of people have seen this infographic before http://www.wallstats.com/deathandtaxes/

As much as I love the commentary by Obermann, I would pay money to see a rappers' war between the two rivals. Wait, did I just order a hit? I don't want to go to jail!

While I find this stuff entertaining- it's the equivalent of starting a flame war.
Pretty soon GE security forces are going to start doing drive-bys on NewsCorp.
Instead of MSNBC always calling attention to Fox - I would prefer that they took the high ground.
Maybe I should be watching the MacNeil/Lehrer NewsHour on PBS.
You darn kids with your fancy cable news channels. I don't need no fancy infographics or CGI transitions.

Watch 'em both. NewsHour will spend most of its time talking about real-world events, and will keep its distance from most of the spin from cable news, while Countdown will highlight the latest events in the partisan spin-wars from the Democratic point of view. They'll cover world events only if there's some U.S. politics involved, but you'll never hear about Myanmar, Darfur, Zimbabwe, natural disasters in other countries, etc. on Countdown.

Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

From BoingBoing: Mauvais Rôle ("Bad Role"), a short animated film about a computer game character who gets fed up with playing the same lame villain roles all the time -- and takes matters into his own (clawed) hands.

His quest leads him to new and increasingly more ridiculous casting calls, each one weirder than the last. And they lead him somewhere he never thought he'd end up...

Mauvais Rôle was produced by a team of students at ESRA Sup' Infograph, in France. Authors: Alan Barbier, Camille Campion, Dorian Février, Frédéric Fourier, Frédéric Lafay, Min Ma, Jean Francois Macé, Emmanuel Repérant, Jérémie Rosseau and Olivier Sicot.
