"...And I am always amused at analyses of losing campaigns that willfully ignore the fact that, you know, voters may have just preferred the other candidate. Looking at this long and varied list of mistakes - none of which strike me as totally off base - it's easy to forget that she still did really, really well. Something about the candidate and what she stands/stood for resonated with millions of people, despite Penn/Solis Doyle/Bill/whatever... Imagine if her campaign hadn't sucked... well, she still might have lost. I know this is a difficult concept for the Clintons."

I am so disappointed that the Icelandic Penis Museum didn't make your news list!

Well, much like Pokemon, I can't catch them all. Luckily, I have dedicated readers like you to keep me up to date on all the, uh, Icelandic penis news.

Not the first time I've seen this one:
...three "individualistic English-speaking cultures" (the United States, Australia, and New Zealand) and three "collectivistic East Asian cultures" (Japan, Hong Kong, and Thailand).
[...]
It turned out that the Japanese students had the highest (which is to say, the most procrastination-inclined) scores, followed by the Taiwanese, the students from Hong Kong, the Americans, the Australians, and the New Zealanders.

Editing, anyone?
