The Kagan Kids - Why the younger generation... →
Young people reading Robin Givhan’s article on Kagan’s scandalously open knees think they’re reading something hilarious from their grandparents’ stack of dating magazines from the 1950s. When they hear us yelping about racial diversity at the court, they think about the fact that their classrooms are already incredibly diverse and their Facebook friendships span...
Tesla Deal With Toyota Gives New Life To Nummi... →
Maybe 3,000 less jobs than the old GM/Toyota factory, but hey more green tech in Fremont? I like this.

Okay, kind of unfair to Arizona businesses that may not support its state’s new law - but suck it, Arizona.
Arizona bill targeting ethnic studies signed into... →
This doesn’t help Arizona’s case that the immigration bill isn’t about race.
The bill was written to target the Chicano, or Mexican American, studies program in the Tucson school system, said state Supt. of Public Instruction Tom Horne.

Internet & Political Isolation
So people have speculated that the internet makes people seek out information that simply confirms what they already believe. A new study shows that internet newsconsumers may not be as ideologically isolated as we thought - more in the link below.

LOL U MAD BRAH?
Wow, guys. The Republican National Committee paid for this internet barf. This looks exactly like a right-wing nutso site. This is nuts.
I also like their latest post blog post, undermining Israel. Yes, Israel is our ally, but that doesn’t mean we blindly support them when they do stupid shit. They’re making the Middle East situation worse, and by...

AT WAR: NATO Kills 27 Civilians In Afghanistan... →
Hella not acceptable. Third time this has happened. I’ve always said that despite what they say about this not being a nation-building exercise, the only way to rid the place of terrorists is to affect social change. Radicalism is an idea, not a tangible enemy, afterall. Programs that are modernizing the place, such as those teaching farming practices and bringing education to the...
Gavin Newsom: Renew a Federal Stimulus Program... →
Up until now, I haven’t heard of stimulus funds directly providing jobs - about as far as it goes is once in a while you find yourself driving on an unpocked stretch of tarmac to run into one of those “Brought to you by the Recovery Act” signs and you think yay at least we’ve stimulated the sign industry.
So where had all that money been going? Can any of you tell me of...
