• McCain Blogette
Last week’s issue of Newsweek (okay, a couple of weeks ago - I got behind again), which has a horrible picture on the cover of Cindy McCain looking like a Stepford wife dropped unceremoniously into the Village Of The Damned, has a long article about the aforementioned wife of the presumptive Republican nominee. In the course of reading the article, I discovered that one of the McCain brood runs a political blog. Meghan, John and Cindy’s first child together, has also previously worked as a Newsweek intern.
• Thousand Days
This is a band, not the Arthur Schlesinger, Jr., book about the Kennedy presidency. The lead singer (and bassist - what is it about cats who play bass and sing?) is a woman called Pardis Sabeti, and I heard about her and her band, where? You guessed it - on a PBS science show. Turns out she’s Dr. Pardis Sabeti. Her day job? Assistant Professor at Harvard, where she’s doing work on the evolution of the human genome.
• Global Warming Growing Glaciers?
From the Blue Marble at Mother Jones, could this possibly be...the far left acknowledging that global warming sometimes does cause effects that you would not otherwise associate with the notion of “warm?” Yes indeed, it could in fact be just that. Warmer temperatures mean more moisture in the air and that means more precipitation in the forms of both rain and snow - in this case, California's Mt. Shasta. See...the news isn’t always bad - it’s just almost always bad.
• Snakes...Snakes...I Don’t Know No Snakes
A giant rubber tube filled with water may be able to funnel into a turbine the energy created by ocean waves, thereby producing energy. Neat idea. It’s still in the early stages of development across the pond there in the U.K. Red Lobster will probably find some way to complain about this, though, right?
• New Blogs - Hoosier Political Report and Huffington Post
Probably Huffington Post needs no explanation, but Hoosier Political Report might. It’s a local Democratic blog run by Jennifer Wagner, who previously blogged from Taking Down Words. I haven’t made up my mind whether her new blog is really all that interesting or not, although she does post quite a lot of regional headlines.

Or could it be that the far left tree hugging hippie scientist keep changing their "theories" on global warming (or climate change) since the earth isn't cooperating with their computer models? Nah. Just keep making shit up guys, it's pretty amusing. Now I read that global warming is on a ten year "quiet" period, but after ten years from now? Oh mama!
