There's a weed shortage on campus:
Tulane underclassmen have recently reported a shortage of quality marijuana available on-campus. A drug bust two weeks ago purportedly influenced campus supply, and subsequent developments have further limited resources.
Maybe we can get the Fed to step in and help out ?

PZ talks about genes and yolks:
We don't have any fossilized placentas, but we know that there was an important transition in the mammalian lineage: we had to have shifted from producing eggs in which yolk was the primary source of embryonic nutrition to a state where the embryo acquired its nutrition from a direct interface with maternal circulation, the placenta. We modern mammals don't need yolk at all … but could there be vestiges of yolk proteins still left buried in our genome?

From WSJ, the Obama campaign says about McCain:
We wish the McCain campaign well as they try to figure out the difference between Iran and al Qaeda,
My letter to The Corner:
So, when Obama denounces the racist words of his pastor, but refuses to forcefully and angrily denounce the man and reject their long relationship, etc., your collective reaction is basically: well, he’s clearly lying, since he still went to that church; and therefore he must be lying now; and he’s a liar, and a socialist and a racist and a liar, and probably a liar, too.
When he mentions the racist things his white grandmother said, and refuses to reject her and his long relationship with her, your collective reaction is: OMG! Obama throws his White Grandmother under the bus! Racist!
In the first case, he fails because he didn’t throw Wright under the bus. In the second case he fails because you insist he threw his grandmother under the bus. But he used the same language for both; he rejected the racism in both; and he refused to sever his relationship with either. But you chose to react in completely opposite ways to the two.
Is there even a shred of intellectual honesty over there?
About the current meltdown in the financial markets, Jim Henley asks:
Another way of putting it is, "So, did Bin Laden win then? Did we bankrupt ourselves on an insane and criminal war in half the time it took the Soviets, in response to his ever-so-helpful prodding?" Or is it just a matter of wringing out the excess briefly so the economy can come roaring back.
Good question.
