One son refused. “If you kill me, kill me,” he told the soldiers, as his mother remembers it. “But I will not eat a part of my mother.”

"Our Congress is broken": Frustrated by Congress and now by the Supreme Court, Lawrence Lessig turns to the people to call a Constitutional Convention for the first time in US history.

Just a reminder: Sean Hannity still has not been waterboarded.

"...a system in which one man (hedge fund manager John Paulson in 2007) can make more money than the total of the salaries of every police officer, firefighter, and public school teacher in Chicago, while another man stands hungry in the cold. And any attempt to fix the system is called socialism."

Reminder: Anyone who thinks Sean Hannity will actually subject himself to being waterboarded is delusional. That is all.

Just a reminder: It's been more than an hour since we've last been reminded that Sean Hannity still hasn't been waterboarded.

Saints LB Scott Fujita defies stereotypes

John Stockton: 1st in Career Assists (5,100 > #2 Jason Kidd) & 1st in Career Steals (700 > #2 Michael Jordan). Yet the "Player Efficiency Rating" has him 29th all-time, behind luminaries like Dirk Nowitski, Yao Ming, and Amare Stoudemire. Are B+ big men really better than possibly the best PG ever?

Sad story of 1984 Olympic gold medalist Bill Johnson, who "spends up to 10 hours a day playing computer games in his trailer, wears a medic-alert bracelet."
