Whoo, longest list of links yet! Remember, if you got anything at all, send it in, via e-mail or Twitter or in the comments!

• Clumsy, or just hilariously unlucky?
  (via Diaphanitas)

• Life for millions of financially-troubled American students just got a whole lot easier.
  (via @todayspolitics)

• The values we all stand for.
  (via Friendly Atheist)

• Excellent write-up on Glenn Beck’s nuclear-grade hypocrisy in chastising Obama for supposedly engaging in “politics of fear” – when that’s all Glenn Beck ever fucking does.
  (via Dispatches From the Culture Wars)

• This is both fudging awesome and disturbing.
  (via The Agitator)

  (via The Agitator)

• I finally convinced Jen to switch to IntenseDebate to combat an insane spam-troll and, in payment, she sent me this guinea-pig-slash-puppy-type-thing. Cute enough for me. (Shoulda demanded a real one. Rats.)

• Mystery of the day: who towed 53 cars during a Glenn Beck show? Maybe I have a new respect for drunken frat boys. (Temporarily.)

• The ObamaCare bill by the numbers. Notice both how there seems to be rather more listings in the green column, and how many of the red listings seem to be irrelevant.
  (via @todayspolitics)

• Faux News is so scared of Obama that they apparently need to cut away from his ObamaCare passage speech to focus on the “breaking news” of a plane crash that never happened.

• My only question in reading this is why the hell are we patenting genes at all to begin with? If you didn’t invent it, you don’t own it.
