io9.com includes my forthcoming collection The Sky That Wraps in their list of "All the books you'll be lusting for this fall season"
Never Wake Up: The Meaning and Secret of Inception — Some interesting analysis here. Partially dovetails with the take that
calendula_witch and I are developing. (Thanks to goulo.)Pulsar Timing: An Outer System Tool — This is some seriously weird science. And cool as all get-out.
The End of Management — Corporate bureaucracy is becoming obsolete. Why managers should act like venture capitalists.
Why do pundits think Bush regularly attended church? — He didn't. Neither did that conservative saint, Ronald Reagan. Obviously Reagan was a secret Muslim!
Stewart: Fox Smears Owner Alwaleed bin Talal! — Hah!
Covert Operations — The billionaire brothers who are waging a war against Obama. And the Right gets its panties in a wad over George Soros... (Via
danjite.)What are the Republicans trying to hide behind the Ground Zero Mosque? — Not sure I buy this, but it's an interesting argument, and not the least bit out of character for the party of Atwater, Ailes and Rove.
The GOP and the “Ground Zero” Mosque — The Cato Institute weighs on rank political opportunism by Republicans. See Competing Perspectives on the Mosque Controversy for more.
The GOP's Long, Hot, Racist Summer — Ah yes, nothing like standing on your principles to make your point.
