A disturbing report at AlertNet describes “living in Cairo to be same as smoking a pack a day.”
I was not surprised because I’ve seen pollution with my eyes and smiled the bad smoke from my hotel room’s balcony every time I visited Egypt.
Living in Cairo Is the Same as Smoking a Pack a Day

“Human beings are often poor reporters of their own actions,” Microsoft says.
The company is not happy with evaluating human response while they interact with computers since questioning them at the time is distracting and asking questions later may not produce reliable answers, so, they wants to read the data straight from your brain as you [...]
OK, it’s Eid holiday, so this is not politics-related, but it is a cool way to find out if you are a right-brain or left-brain dominant. Look at the dancer and decide which way she’s spinning.
Focus!
If you think she’s going clockwise, you’re apparently right-brain dominant (imaginative, philosophical, touchy-feely, impetuous); if you see her going counter-clockwise, [...]
Sigh!
And the same media, never asked questions then, never asks questions now. Nobody wants to notice how conveniently close this is to a crucial vote in Congress, and how Osama Bin Laden always appear when George Bush is in the worst trouble…
He seems to have gotten a lot younger, and dyed his hair since the [...]
“The revelation that lobbying firm Barbour, Griffith and Rogers, whose president is a former US envoy to Iraq, is supporting former interim prime minister Ayad Alllawi, was first reported by IraqSlogger. The firm has sent hundreds of e-mails in Allawi’s name from an e-mail address it purchased, DrAyadAllawi@Allawi-for-Iraq.com, and it has purchased the Web domain [...]
This must be the one of the worst jokes I’ve heard, ever… [Hat tip: Akram Awad]

ISLAM PROF IS ‘ZION’-HEARTED
By CHUCK BENNETT and JOHN MAZOR
New York Post - August 15, 2007
The new principal of the city’s controversial Arabic-themed school is an ardent Zionist who considered moving to Israel, [...]
While watching the news last night, a breaking live broadcast of Bush speech in Prague was on air. I never liked to hear this dump, but for unknown reason I decided to listen to his remarks.
While listening to him, I was speaking to myself. This is how it goes (transcript can be found here):

In the U.S., the issue is framed as “Immigration”
The face of the issue is framed as a brown skinned Mexican man.
And yet, all you have to do is scrape just a little under the surface to know what immigration really means and who it effects.

The New York Times has a cool tool which you can search Bush’s SOTU speeches for any word or phrase and visualize how many times it was said since 2001 until 2007.
It is interesting enough tool to make a little search and see where do some ‘Iraq related’ statements stand, especially that I’m talking too [...]
This ironic one comes from the infamous Fox News: An American occupier in Iraq had a simple request last week for a Wisconsin mattress company: “send some floor mats to help ease the hardship of sleeping on the cold, bug-infested ground.”
What he got, instead, was a swift kick from the company’s Web site, which not [...]
I feel sick to my stomach when I see a multi-billion giant like Microsoft using “children refugees” as a cover up to market their latest web 2.0 businesses called live.com!
While doing my search for my previous story, I came across a press release by UNHCR which said: “Microsoft launches “Click for Cause” initiative to support [...]
I know it is cold out there. In fact, this is one of the coldest years over here in Bahrain.

I am in a terrible “time-waste” mood these days, so have fun!
This is how illiterate miscalculate it:

So the photoshoped one is worse, or this one? Same irony (unlucky housemate)!
This “cool tool” is all about the amount of Vanity Fair, GQ, and People Magazine covers I can score. No?
Ok, A-List Bloglebrity on the Internet, is all about the amount of link love you (I) can score. It is powered by Technorati records of the blog and some technical stuff, which I don’t [...]

Maybe you got this by email sometime as I got it, but anyway, while cleaning the spam now I found this interesting piece. Interesting enough to share with others, so here it is:
