MEAT EATER'S MANIFESTO: “I could never eat plants that are raised on crowded farms and inhumane living conditions with less than one square inch of space per stalk, stuck in the soil against their will.”
AMMO GRRRLL takes one more trip to the bathroom.
OBAMA: a dedicated corpseman, he will campaign in all 57 states. (I hope he campaigns in the last seven.)
MEGAN MCARDLE: A sad fact from today's bag of hate mail.

TECHNOLOGY: How should a self-driving car tell you to take the wheel?

I'm somewhat amused by post, because it's long been known that a swift kick in the ass works very well in getting someone's attention.
WE DON'T NEED NO STINKIN' STUDIES, WE ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER. EPA yanks study showing weed killer doesn't cause cancer.
NO SHIT, SHERLOCK: Obama is a nincompoop. Or worse.
YOU DON'T SAY: The corporate ‘cure’ for sexual harassment only feeds the disease.

As someone who's been forced to sit through years of those 'training' programs, I'm surprised it took a Stanford research team to discover the obvious. Perhaps they could have just asked the 'trainees'....
