I wonder how long it will take for the scooters to be stolen and/or disassembled to be sold as parts.
Hopefully I’m wrong.
When I first heard Maná was in charge of the Mexico's World Cup theme, I 100% honestly thought it was a joke.
It isn't. Why Maná? Why? Anything but Maná!
I always drank Topo Chico as a kid. I was delighted when it became available in Austin. Then I was puzzled when it became the go-to drink of hipsters. Regardless, this is the soda that you must use with scotch.
John Oliver takes 18 minutes to completely destroy Trump's ridiculous border wall idea. It's too easy.
"While Sean Penn’s scoop is undeniable, so is his failure as a journalist and his naïveté."
#1 is one of the best goals I've seen. Add to that that it was against the arch-rival and in the final and after coming back from a 2-0 against.
I'm someone who always went to the stadium in Mexico since I was a little boy. This makes me sick to my stomach and it needs to be dealt with swiftly and severely.

Absent from public discourse, the harm that America's lax gun policy has outside of the USA. From the article:
According to former President Felipe Calderon, who oversaw the government’s efforts to crack down on drug cartel-related violence, Mexican authorities seized over 140,000 weapons (including 84,000 high-powered assault weapons) during his term. Up to 70% of these firearms were traced back to the US. In a press conference earlier this year, Calderon lamented that “One of the main factors that allows criminals to strengthen themselves is the unlimited access to high-powered weapons, which are sold freely, and also indiscriminately, in the United States of America.”
IFE, this spot on the Colbert Report was well earned. I wonder if that was the goal all along.

Chef Ziv Erlich, owner of Mezcal Bar in Tel Aviv teaches you how to make Enchiladas Verdes on national Israeli TV. Ziv and I went to high school together.
New TV show on Telehit. My cousin's there, making her the second famous person in my family (after myself).
This is the official Mexican government site for the Swine Flu epidemic. It's got plenty of information, but perhaps it's too little, too late? For instance, it's only in Spanish.
Oh great.
