• Liberal Democrat plans to clean up England’s authoritarian mess left behind by previous right-wing rulers. Where have I heard that before …?

• Compassionate ravens.

• Tennessee Governor vetoes “guns in bars” bill. I’m not really sure where I stand on the issue regarding liberties vs. safety, but I would imagine that having firearms present where alcohol is served liberally would be rather poor judgment at any rate.

• Deconstructing the saga of disgraced “vaccines-cause-Autism”-propagator Andrew Wakefield, via comics.

• The COMPETES scientific research and education funding bill: dead, revived, and now dead again. Damned Rethuglicans. What is it with their zealous passion for fucking the country over in every freaking possible way?

• How to rescue a mugging victim … NINJA STYLE!
