Wow, just wow:

According to Roberto Escobar, the cartel spent an estimated $2,500 a month on rubber bands needed to hold stacks of bills together.

At the height of his power, Pablo Escobar's cartel supplied 80% of the world's cocaine and smuggled 15 tons of cocaine into the US per day.

Wish he could've sent a couple million my way.

The biggest beer merger in history is under discussion

The two biggest beer brewers in the world are talking about potentially combining their businesses. Anheuser-Busch InBev, which makes party-friendly beers including Budweiser and Corona, said it is interested in buying SABMiller, the maker of party-friendly Miller Genuine Draft. Anheuser-Busch didn't put a number on the offer — estimates are that the value could be $245 billion — but even the whisper of a deal drove SABMiller's stock up 22%, adding nearly $13 billion to its market value in only five minutes.

Bud and Miller joining? WTF? That's like a Hatfield marrying a McCoy!

 
Can we have a constitutional amendment that limits the airing of online draft gaming commercials (fanduel.com, ad naseum) to 50 per day per station?

The Hajj has been around for hundreds of years. You'd think they'd have figured out how to handle massive crowds at some point in that span. This seems like an unnecessary tragedy.

 
One Virginia teen's journey from ISIS rock star to incarceration
Virginia honors student Ali Shukri Amin's radicalization through his prolific use of social media
represents a cautionary tale for American teenagers and their parents.

The deeper he entered this Internet world of “virtual” struggle, the more disconnected he became from his family, his life, and his future, he said.

Amreeki Witness began to look for opportunities to spread his ideas. During the upheaval in Ferguson, Mo., he tweeted: “May Allah incite righteous jihad in Ferguson and guide its people to Islam,” according to the SITE Intelligence Group, which monitors jihadi activity on the Internet.

At one point during his proselytizing stage, Ali intervened in a debate on Twitter between someone with the US State Department’s “ThinkAgainTurnAway” anti-jihadist counter-propaganda program and a pro-jihadi Twitter user.

There's a fine line between Constitutionally protected free speech and yelling fire in a crowded theater (not protected). And I think this is probably over the line. Too bad it was a 17 year old kid. He'll be paying for this for many years.
