THE WEEK

First, the facts:

-22% of the world's oil is controlled by states that sponsor terrorism or that are under economic sanctions imposed by the U.S. (U.S. News & World Report).

And drilling in ANWR still barely passed by a vote of 51-49.

-More people disappear in Alaska than any other state. About five out of every 1,000 Alaskans go missing every year-double the national rate. (LA Times)

I have a theory as to what is happening. I once had to work in Ratone New Mexico. The bears were so bad there that they would walk by our bedroom window in the morning to eat from this fruit tree beside our apartment. I ran to my truck every morning for fear of attack.

-Thieves stole 240,000 manhole covers in Beijing last year, selling them off as scrap metal (Reuters).

What i'd like to know is how many people were injured last year in Beijing from falling down open manholes.

Of Note:

THE WEEK unfortunately reproduced that bogus quote attributed to Britney Spears.
