The morons over at Fox News think the Lincoln-Douglas debate was between Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglas. Awesome.

A chinese factory prints “Free Tibet” flags.

A clear difference between pandering and leadership prioritized over what is politically expedient. Senators Clinton and McCain for removing the federal excise tax on gasoline for the summer (the one that pays for road and bridge repairs, etc.), Sen. Obama understanding that it won’t actually do anything. Maybe Senators Clinton and McCain are on to something. I mean, we don’t really need to make bridge repairs. Sen. Clinton wants to offset it by raising taxes on the oil companies, which then would pass the cost on to the consumer making the legislation effectively useless and not changing prices at all. But hey, whatever makes your stump speech exciting, right?

DCist has a neat map of some wonderful possible changes to Metro that would be just awesome.

Sen. McCain flip-flops on yet another issue. Perhaps senility has set in?

Here’s a gem from Overheard in New York:

Mid-western mother to suit crossing against light: Excuse me, sir?
Suit, in mid-intersection: Yes?
Mother: You’re setting a bad example for my daughter -crossing against the light.
Suit, continuing on his way: Yes, I am.

The White House and more revisionist history and definition changes. They’ve heard about the internet, and video cassette recorders, right?

True Sports(wo)manship.

And finally, Boomerangs in space.
