Controlling Your Dreams

I'd like a bit more scientific evidence, but this article is quite trippy.

I've had plenty of times when I've gone in and out of being awake and been able to direct a dream, but I think that was more like day dreaming. I don't think I could have made myself fly, but then again I never thought to try.

Rice is writing about what?

Not exactly a good article, but kind of mind bending to read an article about golf written by Condoleezza Rice.

Hiroshima

a touch of beauty. The japanese author blends a mention of current nuclear arms negotiations with childhood memories of Hiroshima. I wish this article were longer - if it were a book, I might just read it.

Sotomayor

On one hand I find the Sotomayor confirmation pretty boring since it is so likely she'll be confirmed and since all the senators' stances are so obvious (it reminds me of the saying "everything has already been said, but not everyone has said it"). But in some ways I think it is an interesting add on to the strip search case. Since that was a case where having a female justice almost certainly added the prospective/empathy to lead to a certain decision. This article mentions the connection.

Wiki article of the day

It's a doozy! The Beauchamp-Sharp Tragedy. Golly, it's juicy.
(But really just read the intro part--that's all I read)

Texting Teen Falls Down Manhole

hahahahahahahahahahahhaha.

Does that make him a Christian Scientist (badum-bum)

This article is why Article Recommendations was created. So much to discuss...

A few years back, I remember digging in to the Evolution vs. Creationism debate when it was really heating up. On one side there were the scientists and on the other were the religious Kansas Board crazies & Co. pushing creationism... But between the two poles stood one man: Francis Collins. He was in an oddly paradoxical and contradictory position. Yet he could calmly respond to any given issue - usually by yielding to the side of science but insisting on his persistent faith. He was THE Evangelical Christian / Scientist. Honestly, if Bush had appointed him to head the NIH, I might have been outraged.

The fact that obama did makes me sink into my own reflections and wonder.

Oh Joe

Biden's "gaffe" actually signalled foreign miliary might to act!? I heard him say this quote to Snuffleuffagous this morning, and it sounded a little odd, but am amazed that a government would take what he said as anything more than Joe being Joe-- much less, and well orchestrated signal that we won't stand in Israel's way if they defensively attack another country.

Socialized Medicine vs. Single-Payer

A good, short article about the difference between the two kinds of health care systems (recommended by my bro).
