Given the recent rash of headline news postings, I thought I'd post links to a few myself.

Enjoy!

Hey, Freddy, thanks for the wonderful Onion posts - I laughed so hard I cried - maybe that's why it's called The Onion!

Thank you. It is nice to have so many relevant stories aggregated in one place. I can certainly relate to one. I too was surprised by the number of Mexicans in Mexico City and just how common is was to hear Spanish spoken.

I won't post the link here but there is a real news story about a decent increase in the amount of tourists coming to Mexico in 2008 due to the value of the peso weakening. The trend wll probably continue into this year as it represents a great value.
