Awesome factoid of the day

From the FeedIt log:

"Mexico, Distrito Federal arrived from google.com.mx on "Pencader Days: Hey Hube?" by searching for hey hube."

Is Hube big in Mexico? Perhaps it's all that Spanish music blogging.

LOL! Interesting! I have quite a few Mexican acquaintances, from on and offline (many through the Los Amigos Invisibles website), but I don't believe any of them are currently from the D.F.

Speaking of Los Amigos, I'm bummed -- they were shooting a new video today in NYC and wanted fans to come out to get in the vid. I had to work only a half-day today but I still would've been too late. Crap.

If you google "Hey Hube," it suggests "Hey Hude" as a correction, which seems to be the Spanish version of Hey Jude. The guy might have been looking for Beatles lyrics.

Actually, "Hude" in Spanish would be pronounced "u-day." The "H" is silent in Spanish. The closest thing to an English "J" sound is the Argentinian/Chilean accented "LL" and "Y."

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project

Feds eye Stevens' home remodeling project . Thank God they're going after this guy. He's been so brazen with his porkbarreling and the whiff of corruption around him has been ripe enough to smell from here. I'd rather have a 100% democrat run Congress if they were ethical. Term limits. One term for Senate, two for the House, one for the President. Some fear that would increase the power of lobbyists. Simple, ban any former members from being lobbyists and limit lobbyists to terms as well. (I'm not sure how that would work. Just a thought.) The other answer is transparency. No earmarks without a floor vote. No spending of any kind without a floor vote. All spending committees (intelligence aside) open to the public and recorded and available on the web.

First, fourth, what's the difference?

Black Pope could follow Barack Obama's election, says US archbishop : "The election of Barack Obama as the first African-American US President could pave the way for the election of the first black Pope, according to a leading black American Catholic." Except that we've had three black Popes already. The last one was 1700 years ago. You'd think he know that. I knew we had them in the past. It took me all of .000048 seconds on Google to find that out.
