Link Soup

The Cities At Night video, photos taken from the ISS plus narration. While I strongly disagree with the narrator on his aesthetic judgement - I think these are horrifying - and wonder why we get to see Vegas but not Paris (WTF, mate?), the cultural differences in city layout between the different regions are fascinating. Especially the European vaguely-polar system versus the USian cartesian maps.

Who are these racist idiots and why do they keep sending them to us? (thanks to redneckgaijin for the link)

Mentioned this to the Spouse earlier today - an amusing take on McCain's 1992 faux pas. Video link, and NSFW due to language (and one somewhat out-of-place bit of slapstick violence). (thanks to next_bold_move, among others, for the link)
