Non-political links:
Great news that our fish stocks are recovering.
Some interesting pushback on the idea that parenting doesn’t matter.
Orac has fun with the latest blast of toxin hysteria.
Some follow-up on the principles of the Duke Lacrosse case.
Political Links:
Two of the most arrogant men in Congress push a “privacy bill” that exempts government. I would much rather have Amazon collating information about me than the FBI.
The latest shut up and do what we say from TSA.
Usual statement: what this guy did was stupid, but it doesn’t warrant the severity of the reaction.

Lots of non-political links today!
PJ has the last word on the tiger mom thing.
A wonderful photo essay of history’s biggest cities. Personally, I’m hoping the next picture in the chain is Mare Tranquilitatis City.
The latest on the to breed or not to breed question. Told you those sociologists were bullshit.
For some reason, this photo essay makes me feel almost patriotic. Americans are almost proud to be ridiculous. #51 is my favorite.
Political Links:
The latest from the food grabbers.
In the end, they’ll realize that gay marriage is a conservative thing.
I keep asking this: what is the point of Democrats if they’re just going to out-police-state Republicans?
All right. I give up. When Mann fucking Coulter is the voice of reason, we are REALLY in trouble.
