From the Department of Weekend Reading


Maybe every day should be Holi
  • "Fox News can’t decide, what do they love more, bombing the Middle East or bashing the president?" – Who knew Rand Paul was funny?
  • Without any Western help, Outtara's rebel forces have seemingly routed their thuggish, illegitimate leader from power in the Ivory Coast. If only Libya was this easy.
  • No, there's no reason to fairly tax our mega-rich plutocrat overlords – that is, unless you want a complete societal implosion.
  • Florida GOP doesn't like Dems using words like, you know, on the House floor.
  • Bonus GOP crazy: Texas Congressman believes that Barry committed forces to Libya as a means of creating his own super-scary totalitarian healthcare reform army! Oh, yes.
  • From la-la-land to happy campers: new updates to the Oxford English Dictionary.
  • It was (not so) nice while it lasted – the end of compassionate conservatism.
  • Everyone's favorite atheist, Hitch, on the King James Bible.
  • Here's one totally not-crazy way to get the economy started: fire all them guvmint workers!
  • So that's what the ultra-secret new U.S. Army space spy plane looks like.
  • The illogic of privatization: California city planning for massive layoffs (one already laid-off worker commits suicide), then hires a communication specialist for $3,000 / week.
  • Now southern states are arguing over who gets to say they had the most soldiers die to defend an inhuman and feudalistic way of life.
  • Ferraro and race, yes it was that ugly.
  • A complete history of science-fiction, in insanely-detailed graphic form.
  • The great, wild hemp fields of Brooklyn.
  • X-Men, cowboys, and more Jack Sparrow: it'll be a sequel-tastic summer!
  • An Easter present for the Fuhrer.
  • Hard to resist: puppy vs. rottweiler.
  • So many ways to die in Atari 2600 – a montage of classic video game morbidity.
