Brett Favre has struck out." Meanwhile, in Facebook and Twitter comments posted throughout the game, I saw Wisconsinites cheering for the Saints, then basking in the schadenfreude of Favre's familiar demise.

In addition, there have been other bills under both the Berlusconi coalition and the former center...
...country's natural resources. Authorities detained several bloggers and journalists in recent months who openly criticized Vietnam for allowing China to set up large bauxite mining operations in the country, which China needs to manufacture aluminum. The government has also tried to block the popular social networking site, Facebook, in order to limit political discourse as well as criticism of the bauxite projects...
