Wow.  I don't think i've ever seen a pro-lifer given so much time to state a rational case without interruption.  The audience is so one-eyed i wanted to puke, but that doesn't diminish the graciousness of Jon Stewart as a host.  All the more reason to watch the Daily Show!

I was recently pointed to this blog entry by James Garth, which sums up my political views better than i've been able to manage for the past few years.  When it comes to election time, i struggle to find anyone to whom i am ready to entrust my vote.

I can't believe i'm saying this, but Phil Gould has recently shown what i consider to be one of the best bits of journalistic thinking about alcohol that i've read in a very long time.

UCSB has a really cool press release and study on squid beaks. I just love stuff like this - whenever i hear it, all i can think of is the greatness of God.
