Is “Game of Thrones” too white? — Fantasy fiction might have racial problems, but they're just a reflection of America's broader battles. Saladin Ahmed at Salon.
Ever the Reluctant Warrior, I Take Up My Sword for Justice — Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Yesterday, I was silly, too: [ jlake.com | LiveJournal ] — Some of the comments are comedy gold.
Young Writers Dazzle Publisher (Mom and Dad) — Self-publishing and kids. Interesting. (Via my Dad.)
Tungurahua Erupts — Wow. Just wow. This photo...
A universe without purpose — New revelations in science have shown what a strange and remarkable universe we live in.
Romney: Uninsured with preexisting conditions should be denied coverage — Disgusting. See my comment yesterday about how conservative positions affect people personally.
I trust government more than insurance companies — The government has at least a theoretical interest in keeping its citizens healthy and productive. The government is accountable to the voters and taxpayers, that is, to us. Insurance companies have only one interest -- profit. And they are essentially accountable to no one. Yep, market-based solutions for the win!
Debunking Canadian health care myths — It is becoming increasingly more difficult to dispute the fact that Canada spends less money on health care to get better outcomes. That would be a little something we call a "fact". If you're a conservative opposed to healthcare reform, then pretty much by definition you're unaware of and/or impervious to the existence of these "facts".
Charlie Petit on the GOP vice presidential selection — Hahahah.
A widening gender gap boosts Obama over Romney — Oddly enough, if your party declares war on women, women don't like it that much… No one could have predicted this!
Ann Romney is the Romney Democrats fear most
