Next Thursday is Thanksgiving, and the impending holiday and associated travel has thrown our schedules all out of whack. I'm making myself crazy trying to maintain the usual posting schedule while still meeting work and family responsibilities. Thus, for at least the next week, and possibly longer, I'm not even going to try.
If something really big comes up that needs to be mentioned, I'll probably post about it. Other than that, you can expect links dumps, and not much more.

- The Elevator Pitch Contest at Cosmic Variance: They want you best hundred-word pitch for a new tv show based about science.
- The political medium game at the RBC. The natural medium for conservatives is talk radio; what's the natural medium for other political persuasions?
And that's it for now. See you when I see you.

More protein that a suckling pig,
More fat than a deep fryer!
More cayenne than a can of Mace,
More salt than desert playa!
