Featuring Captain America and his prominent … uh … star

• Hilarious take-down of some typically idiotic Breitbart blogger’s culture war whining about the renaming of the upcoming Captain America [pictured] film in some foreign territories.

• No, Vox Day, new research concluding that many med students agree to obey unethical orders to perform tests on patients without their consent, disturbing though it may be, does not mean that med students “make good Nazis” and that “most scientists” are perfectly willing to commit bloody genocide.

• So much blue. Especially in Iraq.

• Right-wing media’s latest inane anti-Obama smear: He dares to do things outside the White House during the turmoil in Egypt!

• Newsflash: It’s not “bigotry” for professors to have “negative feelings” towards people who generally act like they wish to turn the world into a Medieval theocracy.

• Recent study indicates successful conception is “more than twice as likely” when a woman is inseminated while laughing. Huh.
