Here.
In lieu of actually writing substantive posts about the following bits of information, I'll just post a short summery and a link.
(1) The bad news: 10 percent of Americans think Barack Obama is a Muslim. The good news: 18 percent think the sun revolves around the earth. h/t Hilzoy at Obsidian Wings.
(2) "During a fund-raiser in Denver, Obama — a former constitutional law professor at the University of Chicago Law School — was asked what he hoped to accomplish during his first 100 days in office.
“I would call my attorney general in and review every single executive order issued by George Bush and overturn those laws or executive decisions that I feel violate the constitution,” said Obama." h/t Hilzoy at Obsidian Wings.(3) If you were wondering, the media is sexist:
h/t Ezra Klein.(4) John Quiggin, at Crooked Timber, writes about how we don't remember WWI and why we should. Here.
(5) The Death Star's Trash Compactor is highly impractical and imblogio at it's finest.
(6) To quote Thers over at Whiskey Fire"In its pure, Platonic state, Conservatism is Teh Awesome." You see, like most things, Conservatism, were it not for all the bad things, would be good.
And, later on Ich Bin Ein Oberliner: I talk about Warren Ellis, Hipsters, and Scientific Anti-Realism. Obviously, not all in the same post.
