Sorry, Bahrain. While your protestors have a righteous cause in overthrowing one of the few absolute monarchies left in the world, you can’t beat crazy.
You hit below the belt, Rush. Well, actually right at the waistline.
The Wisconsin union crisis took us by surprise.
We’ve already established that we’re a little old-school with our love for physical books. While we learn to slowly embrace the digital reading revolution, we’ve overlooked another change. The influx of 3-D movies has been well-documented and discussed, but for the most part we haven’t worried about the reasoning behind the fad. If filmmakers want us to feel like those action-movie explosions are happening in our faces, so be it.
Forgive us if we’re not as chipper as usual.
If you’re a bibliophile, you’ve probably heard the news that Borders declared bankruptcy. While the story may appear to be just another sign of an ailing economy, it’s also an indicator that we stand on the edge of a new era.

Maybe House Republicans weren’t counting on their own turning their backs on the party. In a miscalculation, they brought a bill to renew components of the Patriot Act to the floor faster but required a two-thirds majority to pass. The yeas to renew outnumbered the nays, but the difference wasn’t large enough.
A recent survey of public high school biology teachers showed they aren’t sticking to the National Research Council’s recommendations on evolution. With 28 percent of the teachers focusing only on evolution and 13 percent advocating creationism within the classroom, we’re left with 60 percent quiet and not wanting to stir up controversy by endorsing one theory over another.
