Big Mac, Small Car...
...you know the saying.
The Economist has published its yearly
Big Mac Index. I wonder what will happen next year because of the beefy beef.

Media News has no hard link. I guess I'll have to quote:
Journalist yanked from TV news show after writing sex story
Freelance writer Suzi Parker (left) was scheduled to appear on AETN's "Arkansas Week," but she was taken off the show after the director heard about her recent Nerve.com story. Parker wrote about experimenting with a beverage being marketed as the female answer to Viagra. "When the news reporter becomes a newsmaker, that's not what this program is about," says the director. Parker's view: "The reality is they can't deal with a woman who writes frankly about sex."

Don't I love to sound like an "before was better" grumpy old one
I felt like an ordinary pervert today after spying on that journalist. First I had to know where she was working, what was her car, where she was parking her car each time she was trying to harassinterview the real me. Plus I had to dig back in my basement, remove the dust on the Radio Frequency scanner and hide all that in my van, parked close to her car in front of her work building. And when she did get out, pressed on her key to have the car do the "Beep Beep", my scanner got it too (well, took me a while (8 days in fact) to find the correct bands). But now I am able to open her car. The trap is ready.
And in case you think it's not possible to use a scanner to scan microwave and grab your car's alarm code, hey, it's
FICTION (see item 328 or 333)
