I've been using Google Reader recently, following the lamented death of Planet Fleck, and I suppose I have to admit its better. Here are some "shared items" if, for some reason, you want to read what I read.

Barack Obama for President?

Category: politics

Says Seed. CIP said that a while ago, but less politely. I'd prefer Obama, but I don't have a vote. Looks like the money is on Obama: 1-9 on, whereas McCain is 5-1. [Updates: Eli notes that Nature is endorsing...

Yes, they are mad

Category: generic stupidity

One of the more regrettable aspects of having children - other than the entire lack of a life - is interaction with the school inspectors. And the insanity reaches its peak in the inspection of after-school clubs. Its all such...

Turkish Delight

Category: climate science?

MW points out the regrettable Global Conference on Global Warming 2008 (GCGW-08). The wot? you might well say. Its not one of those, is it? It doesn't quite appear to be one of those. In fact, it even appears to...

Category: climate snarking

You're sharpening stones, walking on coals / To improve your business acumen

Category: economics
