Hooray for Friday, hooray for everything.
* The Daily Show nicely nailed the hypocrisy inherent to the Republican position on the stimulus debate last night.
* Scandal at 1600: it turns out the practice of disrespecting the Oval Office by not wearing a jacket inside it—heroically revealed by former chief of staff Andrew Card just this week—goes back decades.
* They've remixed the audiobook versions of Dreams from My Father and The Audacity of Hope. The real scandal is that it took this long for someone to think to do it.
* Remixing the inaugural poem.
* Syllabus for another class on The Wire.
* West Antarctic ice sheet collapse even more catastrophic for U.S. coasts. Icemelt Could Shift Earth's Rotation, Moving Water Northward. Antarctic warming is robust. Everything is fine.
* And will Vermont towns finally get their chance to arrest Cheney? Oh, please yes.
