Lisa Lampanelli: Watch Me Piss Off Evil Westboro... →
Yesterday:
Lisa Lampanelli has put the evil Westboro Baptist Church into one hell of a pickle — they wanna protest her show tonight … but for every hate-monger who shows up, she’s gonna donate $1,000 to a pro-gay charity.
Lisa is performing in Topeka, Kansas — home of the evil church — and when she got word that members of the church were planning to protest her...

On the 26th of October 2009 Geocities seized to exist. In between the announcement and the official date of death a group of people calling themselves Archive Team managed to rescue almost a terabyte of Geocities pages. On the 26th of October 2010, the first anniversary of this Digital Holocaust, the Archive Team started to seed geocities.archiveteam.torrent.

Al Qaeda on the ropes? Little Arab outrage over... →
But there was no mass outpouring of bin Laden sympathy in countries such as Egypt and Yemen, which are deeply involved in the sweeping regional effort for change known as the Arab Spring. The lack of Arab fury over bin Laden’s demise –- and the continuing focus on change through peaceful protest –- is a sure sign to some regional analysts that bin Laden’s appeal had long since faded.
