Shock value

I thought I'd given in when it came to Pete Doherty, alarming man and somewhat known to the irate, general public as member of The Libertines and Babyshambles, but alas, no. He's (perhaps inadvertently) fed a penguin a joint. A joint. At first I laughed, then felt sorry for said penguin (if the matter really has taken place) and then wondered when new music will arrive from the man, which really is all I care about. Strewth.

Speaking of which, this article shows the American health-care system in a real shambles. The difference between the rich and the poor take on very tangible levels when displayed like this. Noam Chomsky writes well about that in "Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance".
