I’ve ridden in taxis in a lot of countries—and while I’ve been financially ripped off in Lisbon, I’ve never had a taxi driver who has nearly ended up in an accident. It’s actually true for everywhere else I’ve ridden taxis: Germany, United States, London, Budapest, and beyond. Usually the most that happens to me is […] Not too long ago there was an airline in Portugal—it’s name was “TAP Air Portugal”—a name which begged the question, “what does TAP stand for?” Something like, as it turns out, Transportes Aéreos Portugueses – so TAP Air Portugal was really Transport Air Portugal Air Portugal.

I realize that I have been a long term supporter and that I think you would be a better president that Obama, but the fact of the matter is that […] Posting the picture of myself when I had my “dragon” tooth has caused me to think a lot about my time growing up. As sort of childhood nostalgia, if you will, even though my time at Park Hill Elementary School was pretty awful—save for my kindergarten, first, third, fifth, and sixth grade teachers.

Since the West won the Cold War, there’s been more and more eastern European nations participating in the song contest—small countries that vote for each other while performing songs that have strong traditional themes to the music.
