In a harsh piece in the WSJ titled "A Farewell to Harms." She calls Palin—among other things—a "ponder-free zone." I knew Noonan had a brain in her head, ever since she got caught on that hot mike back in the campaign.
In other GOP news, now only 6% of scientists call themselves Republican.

Technology is awesome. If you take multiple photos of something, this free web app will scrub out anything that changes between the photos—so, say, you're trying to get a shot of cool landmark, the app will effectively delete any tourists who walk in front of you while you're shooting, to give you a single, clean shot.

I love how the GOP is *finally* getting all worried about deficit spending--although weirdly, only now that we're talking about deficit spending to get out of a severe recession and to spend on health care and education.
Kevin Drum just annotated and linked to a great NYT graphic that shows how an $800 billion surplus turned into a $1.2 trillion deficit over the past eight years--and what part Obama's policies have had in it.
In short, the crazy $2 trillion dollar swing is about 90% attributable to Bush and the GOP. ("About 7 percent comes from the stimulus bill that Mr. Obama signed in February. And only 3 percent comes from Mr. Obama’s agenda on health care, education, energy and other areas.")
Ah, those short Republican memories. Reminds me of this instant classic.
A particularly funny installment, esp. w/r/t banal "moral choices" in video games. HA: "... BANG, offworld slavery!"
