The blog newgeography has two great recent article that I wanted to draw your attention to. The first suggests that the United Nations move from New York to the world's mostly empty tallest building (improperly called the Burj Dubai in the article but the building is officially known as the Burj Khalifa.) From the article, "The United Nations is a pain in the butt. It pays no taxes and annoys hard-working New Yorkers with its sloth, pretensions and cavalier disregard for traffic laws. The place is a sinkhole dominated by anti-American, anti-Semitic and authoritarian fantasies. It is far from the elegant crown jewel that celebrated the U.S.'s global ascendancy after the Second World War."
The second article is a fun one about the smallest counties in the United States.
