The guy who created the map, Sean Askay, has been working on it for four years on his own time.

War has taken on a video-game quality, as soldiers in Nevada “fly” missions in Afghanistan and Iraq in the same day. Predator and other drones are super-popular with the military despite some shortcomings like: more than a third of the drones deployed have crashed; the missile-firing button is right next to the button that turns off the engine; and they are creepy.

A single-serving site encouraging people to “hold up their shoes for Muntadar al-Zeidi, the Iraqi journalist who was arrested for throwing his shoes at President Bush.” We don't condone shoe throwing, but we prefer it to war.
Politics Buzz Well, that didn't take long. Here's a collection of some of the animated gifs that are being made of Bush getting beaned by stuff in the aftermath of yesterday's shoe-throwing incident. If you're feeling extra fancy, you can send us your own and we'll add it to the collection.
