Stuff I found interesting or amusing and thought I'd share.

- Budget miscalculations at the University of Arizona may lead to drastic cuts. Not mentioned in the article is that U of A has a $1.2 billion endowment fund. (HT Steve Landry)

- Why Albert Einstein never won a Nobel Prize for E=MC2

- Glenn Beck makes a vow. Hope he can keep it.

- AP said judge gives Trump a win in fraud trail. Not sure if they were talking about fraud being what the case was supposed to be about or the case itself.

Mitt Romney's Acts of Kindness

These are four pretty powerful stories. I don't listen to Glenn Beck much but kudos to him for having these people on his show.

As an aside - I did a quick calculation and Mitt Romney's donation to the veteran's homeless shelter probably cost him around $200,000 over two years. A donation he made anonymously because he just felt it was the right thing to do.

Inspiring.

I hope this idea works. Dad tries to get son a job by offering free beer incentive.

Glenn Beck made $80 million last year while Keith Olbermann can't find a job. That's certainly one way to look at it.

Heh heh - If Aaron Sorkin wrote for The Mary Tyler Moore Show. Ken Levine is one funny guy.

Ken Tremendous has a good appreciation of Kevin Youkilis' time in Boston.

Joe Posnanski also has a good take on Youk.

One final take on Kevin Youkilis. I agree 100% that the Red Sox got much more out of Youkilis than he got out of them.

Wow - as Chris Lindsay points out Coke makes so many products that if you drank one every day it would take over 9 years to try them all.
