But wait … it gets even better:

That pic just got better. RT @laurameckler: Pizza shop owner says he’s a Republican who voted for Obama in ‘08 & will in ‘12. #goodstaffwork

You have to wonder how Mitt Romney would react to being hugged like that.

It’s ridiculous to even speculate, of course, because no one would want to.

Meanwhile, at a diner in Ohio, the real Joe Biden and the Onion Joe Biden converge:

Warning from history: As witnesses die, will the Holocaust be forgotten?
This was not a fun article to read, but I think it's important--necessary even. Sometimes almost nothing is known to tell the stories of lives that were not lived, except a name. As Yishai Szekely - a doctor who serves as a reserve officer in an artillery unit - explains, in some families first-hand memories are passed down. There are photographs or books and ...

Why people don’t believe science
Here's a fascinating article my iPad's news aggregator discovered for me this morning: The Science of Why We Don't Believe Science. It's a lot of things: identity, previous knowledge, fear and a pile of other factors. But we humans are more often rationalizing animals than rational ones.

The GOP’s Clueless Caucus
As much of the GOP strains to implement a post-2012 course correction, the party has found itself stymied over and over by what leaders describe as a tiny rump of ham-fisted pols with a knack for stumbling onto cable news. No matter what the party leadership is up to in a given month, there's almost invariably a back-bencher in the House of Representatives or ...

Bobby Jindal Is Confused About Tom Friedman and Economics
The thing about no longer being the stupid party is you actually have to do it. That means grappling with the world as it is; not as it was in 1980. It means grappling with your opponents as they are; not as Fox News imagines them. And it particularly means grappling with how to reapply conservative principles to these new realities; not how to ...

The Unique Vibrations of Your Skull Affect How You Hear Music
Short but fascinating--I had a hard time choosing which paragraphs to include. The natural frequency of your head is a result of your skull’s size, density and shape, say scientists in a recent presentation at the meeting of the Acoustical Society of America, meaning that the vibrations of your skull are ever-so-slightly different than the person next to you. Measuring the natural vibrational frequency, ...

The GOP’s Steve King Problem
Earlier this year, the Republican National Committee released a 100-page report detailing how the GOP needed to retrofit its agenda and soften its tone. But if Republican officials had wanted to save time, they could have issued a shorthand summary that read: Be less like Steve King. The Iowa congressman's outspoken conservatism embodies the kind of politics that, in the RNC's own words, alienates ...
