Science and “militant atheism” fun: Get your cards now!

Yeah, I’ve read books by these men; I hope that Susan Jacoby gets a card as well.

Politics
From Hulu: Split: A Divided America This takes about 80 minutes to watch and is fairly even handed. One point this video makes is that the bases for each party tends to drive the politicians toward the extremes.

Frankly, I think that the liberal base has failed to drive the Democrats to the left as the Democrats tend to run AGAINST their base whereas the Republicans run toward their base.

Here you see that Bob Bennett was not conservative enough!

Of course, there are posts that decry President Obama for not being liberal enough but there is Democratic blowback against such sentiments.

SCOTUS Here is a good two video series (about 10 minutes each) on the liberal concerns on the Kagan nomination. Note: though this is Keith Olbermann, this is NOT a “Republicans suck” kind of post; this is more about what liberals are talking about with each other.
