Stripes says everything looks great from his perspective...
Admission by Walker that it was all about union busting. And questions mount over the supreme court vote in Wisconsin.
Bashing teachers is as much fun as hippie punching. Or tasering kids.
Roger Ebert remembers Sydney Lumet
Tracking Japanese radiation around the world and the US. And apparently sea salt and baking soda will fight radiation exposure.... (I suggest buying stock)
Firing the entire city management of Benton Harbor, Michigan. You know these guys wanted to do this like forever....

You were BUSY last night!
Stock? in sea salt and baking soda? I don't think so. Any article which contains a clause "x is the cure," no matter what "x" is, strains my credulity.
"Scale of the Universe" was fun, and reminded me of a term I hadn't heard in some years: "preon". There's still some research on these hypothetical particles of which quarks are supposedly made, but as more years go by with no experimental evidence, they're getting difficult to believe in. Maybe if the LHC fails to find a Higgs boson, we'll all give the preon models another look.
Regarding Ayn Rand, I can only put up that wonderful John Rogers quote from Bryan's home page:
"There are two novels that can change a bookish 14-year old's life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs."
The world would be a better place if Ayn Rand's books... all copies of all of 'em... had been buried with her. But her popularity is easy to understand: she was unpleasant, sour, arrogant, self-righteous and pretentious. Oh, did I forget to specify "popularity among Republicans"?
More later... those cats gave you a lot of news to cover!
Anyone who goes off on the wonderfulness of Ayn Rand deserves this link, where she sings the praises of a serial killer.
And yes, occasionally cats say things much better than we can...
From your link @ Bashing Teachers.....
"…I can tell you why teachers are getting such a bad rap. For starts[sic] they acted more like terrorist[sic] in Madison then they did educators… As long as teachers want to keep teaching that homosexuality is OK , class warfare, and social justice and diversity they will continue to recieve[sic] my ire."
Heh.... here a great picture of some of those teacher/terrorist/union thugs....

Love that shot of the 'union thugs'. And I don't have a smart phone yet, only a kind of stupid one that sometimes works...
Dusty, thanks for the link to pics of "thugs" ... that speech by Veterans for Peace member Will Williams was truly inspiring.
