Burma is important. / Cheers and jeers for Economist.com

All.we’ve just launched the Burma is important Project. Hope you’ll check it out, and participate.
Also about Burma, kind of — check this out:
It would seem that The Economist would have some of the best coverage going. (And if they don’t, I’m not sure whose is better.) Here’s the cover of their current issue:

Well [...]

In case you missed Dalai Obama Lama:

This was the homepage banner for a lot less longer than was desired or planned. It actually linked to a particular new Dharma-Burger. (You can see that below.)
Well, sorry to dump you, D.O.L.
But Burma is more important.

It is.

Dharma-Burger! (Oh yeah, you’d better order at least hundred.)

Thanks yet again to blogger, friend, and excellent contributor Konchog Norbu, who sent on this Cafe Press item, the “Dali Obama Lama” pin.
YES! DALI OBAMA LAMA! HE’S GOING STRAIGHT TO THE WHITE HOUSE!
D.O.L.!    D.O.L.!    D.O.L.!
(This message has been paid for and approved by Worst Horses for Dali Obama Lama for President.)
As Konchog Norbu says:

Body vows: “OM MANI PADME HUM”

Thanks to reader Aleathia, who sent this gorgeous shot of a dharma tattoo she got:

She writes:
I had wanted this tattoo for 10 years, had thought of it often.  I took vows 10 years ago but in the last 5 years my practice has slipped after the birth of a child.  So, I got [...]

Survivor China: Dharma-Burgers, buffet-style?

Want the absolute very first pop-/Dharma run-down on the premiere of Survivor China?
Check out the Horse – right here! — to see it.
…it was posted just relative moments after the show ended.

Survivor China…

…looks like it may be a feast of Dharma-Burgers.
It’s starting just about now. You know I’m watchin’.

Of Gods and Squiggles

Thanks again to hawkeyed reader (and great writer!) Tom Armstrong who sends this one:
Today’s Photo of the Day at Beth Whitman’s travel-guide blog “Wanderlust and Lipstick: Inspiring Women’s Travels” shows a stupa in Kathmandu, Nepal, that is unidentified, but is clearly the ancient, holy stupa Swayambhunath in the city’s northwest section. Terrific. You go, Girl.

But [...]

Dharma-Burger? Yoga-Burger? Either way, it IS “very zen.”*

Thanks to reader Elizabeth H, who sent on a scan of a new mailing from mega-retailer Target. (Or, as you you call it, Tarjay.)

She writes:
Target included this in a recent mailing. If shopping from home is what it’s all about, I don’t guess I’m ready for enlightenment yet. I love reading the Horse.
Bows, or _/|\_
Thanks, [...]

Somewhere between Sexual Predators and Pinkberry, there’s…

..the Dalai Lama?

Yep. Or at least, that’s what Radar magazine says. They “inducted” His Holiness into their “Hype Report,” (also known as the “Overrated 100″), a “scientific survey of the world’s most overrated people, places, & things.”
Yaknow, I generally love Radar – there’s a sort of SPY magazine flair to it that is generally missing [...]
