Quote of the Day: Samuel Johnson

"Hope is itself a species of happiness, and, perhaps, the chief happiness which this world affords."

I believe the Seattle Times may have a race problem. Check this out.

Here's a review I read this morning of this movie Invictus which is about the Nobel Laureate and former South African leader Nelson Mandela.

And here's a screenshot of how the bottom of the story looked this morning. (Check out the bottom where it suggests similar stories I might also enjoy.)

Some of the suggestions make sense, the baseball one is just weird, but the one about Maurice Clemmons blows my mind. In case you don't know, Maurice Clemmons is the crazy guy who killed all those cops down in Tacoma who was later killed himself by the police. About the only thing his story has in common with the movie is that they both involve black people. I'm not one to call racism very often but this is too suspicious to let slide. Apparently the Seattle Times though so too because they later removed the link. I'm sure a faulty algorithm somewhere is to blame but it's still quite funny.
