 :lol:  Some Mercedes-Benz exec visiting the Alabama plant from the fatherland got his ass cuffed and brought downtown after a traffic stop since he only had his German ID card and not his passport. 

Last year, he would have gotten a citation (or probably never been asked for proof of his immigration status in the first place, since he was presumably cruising around in a Merc with perfect English) and gone on his merry way, to have the cite dismissed at his convenience when he brought his passport in. 

Great new law.  I hope they took the time to scrutinize his answer to the "Were you ever affiliated with the National Socialist German Workers Party between 1933 and 1945?" question on the entrance card.

Where was the article showing that the US now has worse wealth inequality than Argentina and a couple other Latin American countries...

I've seen those stats and related infographics in a number of places. It's scary, unsustainable shit. The Guardian's data blog had an article on it pretty recently...

Me too. One of the lead editors gave a fascinating talk about that blog at the last Strata conference. Try and find it; it's great.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.

You know, as long as everyone agreed to communicate with me solely by email or hand-written note, I think I'd do alright in France or Quebec.

You know, one thing that's kinda easy about Quebecois French is it sounds exactly like an American with a bad accent speaking French.
