Bitch PhD always brings the good stuff!
A couple days ago, it was a tax chart comparing how Obama's and McCain's proposals would affect each bracket. There's an issue with math in the average, which may or may not have been corrected, but I find the bracket-by-bracket data more relevant than the average, anyway. (The average doesn't actually apply to anyone.):

Then this morning she linked to this post from Margaret Cho that made me really happy:

Meanwhile, just so I can have some non-political, fannish content:
RM & I watched Supernatural last night, and it was classic, classic SPN, in all the ways that are good and bad. The opening credits alone were worth the price of admission: I love AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long," and OF COURSE Dean's Car is gonna be "she" during the lyrics about fast machine, motor clean. But then they get to the lyric about fighting for air, and all of a sudden the she of the song becomes all the unreliable-and-occasionally-outright-evil women of the show. And finally, when it gets to the you shook me all night long part, there's no she anymore, it's the brothers fighting together.
And that, right there -- before the actual episode has even begun -- perfectly captures the fun and misogyny and slashiness of Supernatural. If it were edited a little better, it almost could've been a fan vid.
