ummmmm.... that's not a russian tower... I'm pretty sure that must be a typo.... clearly that's Cloud City far above the planet Bespin... You really need to do some fact checking next time...
That was my thought too. Every time terrorists release video it's been through Al Jazeera. I'm pretty sure that would make it a "conduit of choice". If you want to know what Al Jazeera is all about just check out their website http://www.aljazeera.com/
It doesn't really seem to be news... It's more like propoganda to me. By the way I'm not saying American news is any better. Every station seems to have it's own spin. This one just seems to be anti- American/Israel.
That is Bob Burnquist and he is a skating pro not a bmx pro. He's even been one of the main characters in the "Tony Hawk pro skater" games. Sorry Tim I don't know who you're thinking of. If you still don't believe you can look up his bio on wikipedia. It even lists this stunt.
I too come here as a refuge from politics. When all I hear is negative negative negative, It's refreshing to come to neatorama and and discuss "neat" things. But, here I am getting riled up over politics. Alex, you have the right to post whatever you deem fit, but maybe you should leave the politics to the other 95% of blog sites out there.
Don't worry you're still my favorite web-site though.

Sadly this sort of thing turns me off of neatorama.
