Hilarious review of METAtropolis: Cascadia

The steampunk conversation at Babel Clash continues interesting

A Living Planet Between the Stars? — I am officially in love with the term "Steppenwolf planet".

Why patients need a say in their health care — My own experience has been a lot more progressive than this, but, yeah. (Via [info]danjite.)

Inside the Secret Service

Lee Resigns After Shirtless Photo SurfacesLee, who won his seat in 2008, cultivated a family-values voting record in the House, earning an 88 percent approval rating from the American Conservative Union for his 2010 votes. Gosh, what a shock. Any bets the FOX News crawl mislabeled him as a Democrat in disgrace?

House Republicans Heroically Propose to Cut the Budget by a Teeny Tiny Bit — Defense budget? What defense budget? Oh, and tax cuts don't count. Only things that benefit poor or brown people. (Via [info]goulo.)
