This amazing young woman was fighting for the right to education for girls. My thoughts are with her.

* In great Britain, they have announced that rather than tax the rich, it makes more sense to kick more of the poor out on to the streets to starve, presumably because their economy needs to be further slowed. I can see no other reason, as we know that cutting benefits to the poor is a method to slow the economy and benefits to the poor are the most efficient way to stimulate the economy.

* The Penn State pedophile wants everyone to know he's the real victim, not the children he raped. They have given him a minimum of 30 years. Let's hope he never gets out.

* Paul Ryan wants you to know that inner city poor people "need to be taught good character." So says the rich man who lies constantly to the point he can;'t even tell the truth about his marathon time, let a lot his budget plan or anything else that matters.

* Ryan attacks the character of the poor. Again.:

* So it turns out that Romney's plan for cutting the deficit to add three trillion to the deficit and to cut PBS funding which is one hundredth of one percent of the budget. Here's an idea: Instead of cutting PBS funding, we could send a single soldier home from Afghanistan five days early. It's the same amount of money.

* The Math on the Romney/Ryan Budget doesn't add up:

At the end of the science bit, I couldn't tell if Dr. Maddow was trying to keep from crying or screaming in anguish at the sheer stupidity of what was being said.

I know I was having trouble distinguishing.

The perpetuators of such horrible crimes always claim they're the victims. How else can they live with themselves after committing such heinous acts?

Yes, I read the Hot Zone. It looked vaguely familiar to me, the strand.
