Archimedes Meets Shakespeare

Archimedes is probably the coolest guy in all of history. I mean, the guy invented the cuckoo clock, the odometer, and a semi-modern irrigation system, ALL BEFORE 200 B.C.E.! He was a mathematician, a physicist, and an architect at the same time, and basically defended tiny little Syracuse, Sicily from the entire Roman navy using his own Grecian noggin. And Shakespeare, well, he's pretty cool too, and I'm an English teacher. Read Hamlet.

Austria-Hungary Returns...sort of

If you hate American media for its bias, don't fret. Our solution is a simple one. Enlist another news source to present the news from the opposite biased point of view. At least then there's more information in the public marketplace, and people are free to make their own decisions. Freedom of speech allows, no, encourages slanted fearmongering propaganda. That way, people are forced to use their brains to sift through all the garbage, and they don't turn into vegetables. Good idea!

Still not convinced? Then take the case of Budapest, Hungary. On Thursday, the mayor of a Budapest district came up with an entirely original way of dealing with the biased media. You'll have to read it to believe it.

Oh, how I'd love to see Tucker Carlson upstaged by some 10-year-old paper boy, or a right prim gentleman named Clyde. Vive Budapest!

Wait! Where's my passport? What a hoot, that'd be great to witness. Way to go Budapest.
