Enjoy your Friday, everyone!
Zandar Versus the Stupid: Conservatives think the mere existence of Herman Cain absolves them of all charges of racism. (Wrong again.)
Angry Black Lady: The right-wing noise machine is obsessing over Weiner, but remember that the original (and far more serious) "Weinergate" involved one Clarence Thomas. There may just be a connection there.
Human Voices: The Department of Homeland Security is apparently working on a system to detect malicious thoughts. Paging Mr. Spielberg!
Swerve Left: The USDA's new food plate is only slightly less ridiculous than the pyramid.
Squatlo Rant: Students at Arkansas middle school place Bush and Cheney with Hitler, bin Laden, and Manson as worst people of all time.
Round-up by Michael J.W. Stickings of The Reaction. I'll be here all week.
