Dolphins are pretty adept butchers. Funny how PETA members can be so adamant about not eating meat, and yet so friendly towards mammals that would gladly wield a cleaver—if they had hands instead of fins.

From the Economist this week:
New York state’s comptroller said that BONUSES paid by Wall Street firms to their New York City employees (residents and commuters) fell by 44% in 2008, costing the state $1 billion in lost tax revenues and the city $275m.
Finally, an end to the bonuses! The rich no longer getting richer at the expense of the proleteriat! Oh wait, that’s what New York’s morbidly obese state government has been feeding on. I hate Atlas Shrugged parallels, but the resemblance is rather uncanny.

An interesting look at the rise and fall of Monte Kiffin's flavor of the Cover-2 defense. It seems the NFL strategy cycle has brought timing offenses (like those in Arizona and, yes, Dallas) that have exposed the over-top zone. And that means the attack-minded defenses are on the rise everywhere from Baltimore to Dallas. (via Blogging the Boys)

Among other interesting stats: more than 11m Arabs have been killed across the region, mostly Muslims at the hands of other Muslims; the death toll from the Intifadas has been in the tens of thousands. But the Israelis are the killer Nazi apartheid activists.
