...gives the military a pass. That's because spending on the military and homeland security, following 9/11 and the launch of two wars in its wake, has become sacrosanct. But it's too bad - because there is plenty of money to be saved by lopping off the well-marbled fat that clings to the $700 billion the U.S. spends annually on national security...

...this observer's money, the most memorable finish of the Vancouver Olympics to date. It made you seriously wonder why this sport doesn't garner more attention in the U.S. as well as admire Europe's good taste in obsessing over an event that Americans foolishly offer a big fat yawn. After all, what's more engrossing than a good old-fashioned race to the finish...

...cookies that the World Food Programme (WFP) developed for just this kind of emergency. Each 100-g packet--that's roughly the weight of two Snickers bars--delivers 450 calories of energy, a bunch of vitamins and minerals and up to 15 g of protein and 15 g of fat. Oh, and no more than 15 g of sugar. This is meant to be survival food, not Red Bull in solid form...
