mass-produced manufactured diamonds, now

DeBeers is going down, thanks to a general in Florida who runs a diamond manufacturing company. Best quote:

“If people really love each other, then they give each other the real stone,” [a DeBeers-type person] says, during an interview at council headquarters on the Hoveniersstraat in Antwerp. “It is not a symbol of eternal love if it is something that was created last week.”

DeBeers is all about saying what love is.

Franken #1. Thanks, Fox News!

In case you haven’t heard, Fox News is suing Al Franken because of the name of his book: Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them: A Fair and Balanced Look at the Right.

As pointed out by Eschaton (who will get the credit if you buy it), it’s currently ranked #1 on Amazon.com.
