  1. Who was Joan of Arc<\/a>? (Wikipedia<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  2. Huzzah for the Five Second Rule<\/a>.  And it may be even longer than that.<\/li>\n
  3. Fleet mileage standards are bad, and nasty, and uncompetitive, and anti-environment, and un-American, and, um, we think you should write your Congressman.  Trust us, we’re the auto industry<\/a>.  One radio ad is set against a bucolic backdrop of cackling chickens as two men talk about buying a new pickup. “You might want to do that fast,” one says, adding the new fuel standards “are going to really jack up the price.”<\/em><\/li>\n
  4. Cool archive of 5,000 vintage LA news photos<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. Blair’s on the way out, but he keeps trying to out-security Bush<\/a>, pushing for a new measure to allow police to stop and question and demand ID from anyone without even the pretense of a suspected crime having occured.  In a strongly worded op-ed piece in London’s Sunday Times. Blair said it was a “dangerous judgment” to put the civil liberties of suspects ahead of Britain’s security.<\/em> <\/li>\n
  6. If I were an atheist, I’d be a “scientific atheist.”<\/a>  Meanwhile, some folks make it a lot easier to be an “angry” atheist<\/a>:  A woman blames the devil, and not her husband, for severely burning their infant daughter in a microwave, a Texas television station reported. Eva Marie Mauldin said Satan compelled her 19-year-old husband, Joshua Royce Mauldin, to microwave their daughter May 10 because the devil disapproved of Joshua’s efforts to become a preacher.<\/em> <\/li>\n
