Perhaps the Algonquin people have a word…

I hate to agree with Dump, but this realignment of the border makes sense. Just rename Jesusland to Redneckistan.

An insightful look at the religious fervour that surrounds so much of the #technutopia we are bombarded with. Like so many religions it has more to do with power and control than doing good. #technology #faith

Telling that @economist.com has selected ‘kakistocracy’, or rule of the worst, as its Word of the Year. ‘Ochlocracy’, or rule of the mob, got an honourable mention.
