  1. It’s Fat People Art Week!!!!<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. New bill will let doctors refuse to save the lives of pregnant women.<\/a><\/li>\n
  3. An article <\/a>about the website “Fat, Ugly or Slutty<\/a>,” a site compiling the abuse routinely taken by female gamers. I was amused by the categories FUS uses, like “Stepford Mentality,” “Unprovoked Rage,” “Sandwich Making 101,” “Jeepers Creepers” and “Wait, what?”<\/li>\n
  4. As Kip said, Donald O’Connor and Gene Kelly were cooler than you will ever be<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  5. I liked John Corvino’s response<\/a> to the Robert George et al “What Is Marriage” argument.<\/li>\n
  6. Wormworldsaga <\/a>is an extraordinarily <\/em>well-drawn webcomic. He says he expects to update at a rate of a chapter a year.<\/li>\n
  7. Youth Identifying As \u201cMixed-Race\u201d Doesn\u2019t Make America Post-Race<\/a><\/li>\n
  8. It’s often hard to tell mainstream Democrats and Republicans apart, because their views are identical<\/a> (and identically appalling). Glenn Greewald provides a video quiz: Can you tell the difference?<\/li>\n
  9. Transgender data just got a lot better<\/a><\/li>\n
  10. Why The Financial Crisis Inquiry Committee’s report is like Murder on the Orient Express<\/a>. (Scroll down, it’s the second item in the post.)<\/li>\n
  11. Climate Denialists<\/a> (and the interests they represent) are too powerful to bother making arguments that aren’t painfully stupid.<\/li>\n
  12. The Impacts of the Obama Administration’s Enforcement Now, Enforcement Forever Immigration Approach<\/a><\/li>\n
  13. Ta-Nahisi’s excellent post on Wikipedia and women<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  14. Have Behavioral Economists Ever Met a Poor Person?<\/a><\/li>\n
  15. Prison rape reform moves forward (albeit slowly)<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  16. The tyranny of 1792<\/a><\/li>\n
  17. Mike Tomlin\u2019s Super Bowl Return Is Proof Affirmative Action Works<\/a><\/li>\n
  18. Alas, it’s not euphemism<\/a>. Because in real life, the Democrats never even got around to passing an anti-global climate change bill.<\/li>\n
  19. Just how many days <\/a>does Bill Murray spend stuck reliving groundhog day?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
