Did you know that the mark on Gorbachev’s head is correctly called a “port-wine stain“? I love Wikipedia. I cannot think of a better source of information, whether it’s finding the names for skin lesions, or allowing country bumpkins like myself to learn of the correct etiquette for passing port around the table. N.B. It does not involve chugging.

Go vote. You can even read brief biographies if you like, or you can just vote randomly. Overall it’s an interesting list worth browsing.
My picks: David Petreaus, Benedict XVI, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Bernard Lewis, and Richard Posner. A vote for Tom Friedman makes God sad.

Sen. Obama’s comments about Rev. Wright on Tuesday seemed to indicate that a total rift with his former minister was underway, but his decision to de-friend Rev. Wright on Facebook underscores the seriousness of his decision.
At a press conference in Gary, Indiana, chief Obama strategist David Axelrod said that Sen. Obama had to de-friend the Rev. Wright on Facebook “because he was getting really annoying.”

Venom origins can be traced to a small meteor that just happened to land near Peter Parker and it just happened to follow him into his bedroom. It fused with him to become: Emo Spider-Man!!!
Wait…no…that was the movie. Venom was the coolest part of that movie and they still screwed it up.
