Varanasi is famous for its silk markets. This is an interesting interview with a guy in a silk shop. These are expensive though.



Maybe someone ought to just go right to the weavers. They're looking a bit broke these days.

Chomsky on 9/11 conspiracy theories

So these videos are a little shaky, but it's good to hear Noam respond to 9/11 conspiracy theories.

History is better with idiots and beer.

You know, sometimes it's just good to check in with drunken idiots to see what they think about a major historical event.

Good idea or bad idea?

Sarah Palin prank call

Oh my god. This is a prank phone call to Sarah Palin. It is from two Montreal Radio DJs. She thinks it is the president of France, Nicolas Sarkozy.

Has she ever talked to a person from another country? It's scary how naive our future vice president could be.

How about next time they pick a woman for vice president, it's not the female Dan Quayle.

Sarah Palin for president!

Being Republican means you never have to worry if what you say is true! What a lucky break.
