  1. Journalism, standards, and telephones<\/a> – I don't think there's nearly that hard and fast a line between "journalism" and "comedy" — but it sure strikes me that "The Daily Show" often shows more insight (and research) than "Fox & Friends" — and the latter is often more laughable (as a news show) than the former.<\/li>\n
  2. Climate bill hangs by a thread<\/a> – I can understand why Graham might be cheesed, but it seems like such a counter-productive move that I have to wonder if that’s the real reason he’s backing off.<\/li>\n
  3. Company launches neighbour-to-neighbour car rental scheme<\/a> – A very interesting idea, but I don’t buy that it wouldn’t influence your insurance rates (at least from aggregate mileage on the car), or that it won’t be considered a factor for insurance rates in the future.<\/li>\n
  4. Look at Sick People to Give Your Immune System a Boost – Health – Lifehacker<\/a> – The mind-body relationship never fails to amaze me.<\/li>\n
  5. Michael Steele Acknowledges GOP Had \u201cSouthern Strategy\u201d For Decades<\/a> – It would be ironic if the thing that finally gets Michael Steele booted out is his pointing out the truth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
