I wanted to share a bit of information that appeared in last week's edition of Time magazine. In an article listing the 50 best inventions of the year, No. 14 is a sarcasm detection software package developed by Hebrew University in Jerusalem used in conjunction with reading product reviews. It is reported to be 77% accurate. Of all the countries in the world, why would sarcasm detection software be developed in Israel? Is written sarcasm so much harder to detect than verbal sarcasm that Israelis need a software program for that?

Short of butter? We've got tons of it here in the States. In fact we have so much leftover butter that we make life-size sculptures out of the stuff. There's the butter cow, butter John Wayne, butter Michael Jackson, and I think a butter Barak Obama. How about we send you several hundred metric tons of sweet creamy butter instead of those F-35's? Now there's a guns and butter argument for you.
