As Mexican bikers try to race across the U.S. border the border patrol says “enough is enough.”

10. Seattle, Washington

Starbucks, white people, and soon to lose their basketball team. Also a lotta rich people, never been there but it always seems to be near the top of these lists.

9. Huntsville, Alabama

Wannabe Houston (has the U.S. Space & Rocket Center), no professional sports, and no real downtown. I doubt this city would be any fun to live in. It’s also the hometown of Jose Canseco, so it Huntsville sucks as much as he does.

8. Albuquerque, New Mexico

I have been to the 2nd fastest growing city in the country and I actually did like it. It’s got good weather and beautiful views of mountains. Too bad it’s only got the University of New Mexico. It does however have the AAA baseball team, the Albuquerque Isotopes, the inspiration for the Springfield Isotopes and is the hometown for Neil Patrick Harris! Never mind I don’t like this city any more. Imagine having to type it’s name in Mapquest or anything else. Albuqweodabpdoig sucks!

7. Asheville, North Carolina

First of all, crappy name. Who the hell names a city after ash? Anyways, there’s nothing there. Small population means no big buildings or anything exciting. It’s got UNC and that’s about it. Not even any famous people live there. You know your town sucks when the front page of your newspaper consists of a failed condos, giving greater access to 18-wheelers to their roads, and a dead black guy (Houston news reports that every 10 minutes).

6. Stevens Point, Wisconsin

Wisconsin is cold all day every day, so it sucks. When your town’s claim to fame is the world’s largest trivia contest you have FAIL written all over your boring dirt. Their front page news? Six Honda Civics stolen by teenagers…I will never visit this no name town and feel bad for everyone who has to endure the world’s largest trivia contest running on the local channels half the year.

5. Tulsa, Oklahoma

The home of Western Swing Music, Oklahoma, and a shit load of tornados. BORING.

4. Greenville, S.C.

Greenville has a good view of the Appalachians and was once known as the “Textile Capital of the World,” but as NAFTA and Mexico have screwed that industry over they have offered crazy tax benefits (a la Texas) to lure big businesses. The only things I find wrong with Greenville are no professional sports, a small population, and not enough ethnic diversity. OK it sucks.

3. Chattanooga, Tenn.

Stupid name.

2. San Antonio, Texas

I’ve been to San Antonio many times and am not impressed. It emphasizes it’s Hispanic population way too much, has an annoyingly good basketball team, and the Riverwalk is really, really dirty. The Alamo is also boring as hell and is a tribute to some drunken idiots who were killed really easily.

1. Charlotte, N.C

Uhhh, it must sucks because the Charlotte Hornets left it for New Orleans. Apparently Charlotte is low on crime, high on jobs, and low on house prices. Sounds pretty good, too bad it sucks.

Basically the only city that I find livable in the U.S. is Houston. Yes, it makes me look close-minded but here are my reasons that narrow it down: the north is too cold, California is too expensive, I love big cities, diversity is amazing, I need professional sports, and Dallas sucks. I wouldn’t mind living in Toronto, Canada or having a house in Europe though!

Army Radio quoted a top official in Jerusalem claiming that a senior member of President Bush’s entourage had said in a closed meeting that Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney thought military action against Iran was called for.

“The hesitancy of Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice” was preventing the administration from deciding to launch an attack on Iran.

However, the White House dismissed the story. “We remain opposed to Iran’s ambitions to obtain a nuclear weapon. To that end, we are working to bring tough diplomatic and economic pressure on the Iranians to get them to change their behavior and to halt their uranium enrichment program.”

“As the president has said, no president of the United States should ever take options off the table, but our preference and our actions for dealing with this matter remain through peaceful diplomatic means. Nothing has changed in that regard.”

Last week Bush told the Post that “Iran is an incredibly negative influence” and “the biggest long-term threat to peace in the Middle East,” but that the US was “pushing back hard and will continue to do so.”All options are on the table,” he said, but, “Of course you want to try to solve this problem diplomatically.”

I really can’t see this happening, but then again, you can’t put anything past this administration. I can’t imagine what would happen if Bush and Cheney decided to go after even more oil. They’re already making ridiculous amounts of money in Iraq and definitely don’t need anymore.

If you live in China you might want to watch what you post. The Chinese government has been putting some handcuffs on people that are suspected of disturbing the peace online. These two characters Jin Jin and Cha Cha are the icons of the government’s internet police. When you’re browsing in China and you come across inappropriate or controversial content, the two characters will show up on your screen and tell you it’s not to be trusted.

Although the program is run by the government, “Netizens”-Chinese citizens online- can contribute and flag websites for ChaCha and JinJin to investigate. Be careful of what you post in China: You could land in jail.

Yeah.

The Internet could run out of web addresses by 2011, according to Karine Perset, the author of a report on the future of the Internet. Perset says that 85% of the web addresses that could be used are in use.

The Internet continues to grow exponentially, and with the integration of businesses with the web to market and work around the world, it will only continue. There were more than 1 billion new users in 2007!

Perset says businesses must adopt an updated IP network with almost an unlimited number of domains to help expand services and applications even further. Some companies like Google and Bechtel have upgraded, but most are lagging behind.

This guy seems to be taking advantage of the Global Warming panic (oh no we’re screwed the world is gonna end!). However, this does seem plausible, as domain prices have been skyrocketing lately. What would we do without new names?! Who cares, we got a domain…suckers!

The video was made May 15- just a few days after the earthquake in China. The person trapped under the rocks is 26 year old Chen Jian; he has been pinned down by the rubble for 73 hours, without food. The reporter interviews him and is astonished at his courage. Chen states:

I am a lucky as well as unlucky person in the Beichuan earthquake. I felt that I escaped from the hands of Death. Many of the others are less fortunate. I am pinned underneath three pieces of pre-fabricated slabs and I cannot move. I have not eaten anything for three days and three nights. I only drank some water. I must be strong. I have to be strong. I have to be strong for everyone who loves me. I must live for their sakes, because they have been so good to me. I hope that you can be just like me and not be intimidated by any hardship.

The reporter then gives him the mic and asks if he wants to say anything. Chen tells his wife he loves her very much and he’ll get out very soon. He then tells the reporter that all he wants to do is live his simple life and he has no aspirations to do anything but that.

The rescue workers assure him that he’ll make it out safely. After 6 hours they finally manage to get him out. Unfortunately it was too late; when they put him on the stretcher, he passed out and never covered.

It’s really sad that he hung on for so long, but couldn’t finish. But you have to respect that he was trapped under rocks for more than three days and managed to stay alive.
