And this might be considered some "history" as well: Woolly Mammoth Dung To Speed Global Warming.

While I am no Ron Paul fan (for many reasons), his back-and-forth with Mike Huckabee in last night's GOP debate (FOXNews/GOP Debate: “All we’re doing is saving face”) is well worth the watch. Tom Tomorrow also weighs in with Republican freakshow.

I'll be covering Democrats and the Iron Law of Institutions in a separate post.

August 30 News Feed Update

My News feed, your virtual afternoon newspaper (easy URL: www.HansMeyer.net/News), has been updated for today.

The Larry Craig "story" keeps going strong, much to the chagrin of rightwingers.*

There's serious news in GOP lawmakers call for Craig’s ouster. There's some somewhat serious commentary in Conservative ‘Homophobic Hypocrisy’ In Craig Scandal. There's unintentional humor in Tucker Carlson, Tough Guy. And there's some downright funny points in A Bathroom Stall Named Desire, Take the I AM NOT GAY Republican Pledge Today! and Sen. Craig believes it.

But the funniest has to be The Width of Your Stance (sung to an obscure little folk song by Bob Dylan called “Blowing in the Wind”).

Also, nothing like the blatant mixing of church and state in Christian Legal Group Represents Missouri in Abortion Case.

Finally, although it was not included in my News feed today, there's a real gem in Helmsley leaves her dog $12 million in trust.

Happy National Toasted Marshmallow Day!

* And, yes, Tom Delay is still an ass.
