theweaselkingDer Spiegel reports on US preparations to begin bombing Iran.
Also,
Illinois joins 20th century, bans job discrimination on the grounds of sexual orientation. Of course, that still leaves 33 states where "we think you like teh icky buttsex" is just cause for lack of promotion, demotion, or dismissal, but it's a start.
Also,
Faux News' Bill Bennett has joined the list of fake reporters whose real paycheques were being cut by the US Government, and who were thus being paid by the taxpayers to lie to the taxpayers.
Also
Kos dissects creationist lunatic Kent Hovind, with lots of fun links. The picture fails to point out that the cafeteria serves poop, but you should trust Mr Hovind when he tells you it does.
Also,
Ohio's new "antiterrorism" law - making it a crime to not give your name, address, and birth date to any police officer who asks you. Remember, the people this is supposed to scare, intimidate, and harass? That's YOU. The real "terror" in this law has nothing to do with bombs and airplanes, and everything to do with criminalising free expression.
Also,
In Oregon, a bill making a crime of "terrorism", punishable by life imprisonment, for actions so vague that bouncing a cheque or joining your union on a picket line would qualify. This bill was voted down, barely.

Papers, please?
