1) graduate school
and
2) toyota prius

"It’s a pretty sweet deal for white people. You can buy a car, continue to drive to work and Barak Obama rallies and feel like you are helping the environment!"
ho... ly... shi...
okay... so:
#1 - effing cute as hell... but...
#2 - what's with the marketing plug?
This story reminds me of what happened to Knut. Are German zookeepers intentionally removing baby polar bears from their mothers "for protection", only to stir up publicity and drive up attendance at the zoo?
... man, I'm becoming so cynical...
Thursday
Goldblum is a total stoner...
... just listen to the way he sounds in this slowed-down Apple ad from the 90's!

cupa' joe
So caffeine helps protect the brain from damage induced by cholesterol - so says the BBC.
Intriguingly not the first instance that one of the most commonly used drugs in the world has been shown to be neuroprotective. Right here at the University of Washington researchers have demonstrated that caffeine protects dopamine neurons from degenerating in a fly model of Parkinson's Disease.
... speaking of which... I could use an afternoon pick-me-up! :)

New favorite blog:
stuff white people like... including: graduate school, NPOs, and having gay friends
It begs the question:
Which is worse? Having a pastor whose sermons are filled with the pain of decades of racial injustice... or being an awful bowler?
Apparently Joe Scarborough thinks that the 'comander in chief' test should include a bowling section... and that if you're "a man or a really good woman" you should at least bowl 150. (via MediaMatters)
These are the questions that will decide who is our next president.

Al Gore: super serial
Al Gore was on 60 Minutes this past Sunday. He gave quite an interesting interview to Lesley Stahl. They discussed politics (briefly) - both '08 and what '00 did to him. The majority of the interview was focused on his recent efforts on the global warming front. Here's the Alternet page with the video from 60 Minutes.... oh, he's super serial... manbearpig is no joke, guys...
