Another Daily Toddy
Because in wingnut world, desiring a more diverse university student body = "ethnic cleansing" Fox News commentator Todd Starnes is outraged by the president of Western Washington University's deliberately provocative comment, which he has made at each of the school's past six opening convocations, that "if we are as white in ten years as we are today, Western will have failed as a university." ...

FDNY Commissioner Salvatore Cassano’s Racist Son Quietly Applies for His Old EMT Job
Cassano's reinstatement attempt comes just a little over a year after his embarrassed father issued a statement saying he was "extremely disappointed in the comments posted online by my son." Among his son's galling tweets, were, "I like jews about as much as hitler #toofar? NOPE." On Martin Luther King Day last year, he tweeted, "MLK could go kick rocks for all I ...

The 14-year-old girl, Wasila Umaru, was married to the 35-year-old man last week. Although she told authorities she was forced into the betrothal, Wasila will ...

Criminalizing Expectant Mothers - NYT
Even by the standards of the growing Republican assault on the lives and rights of women, a new bill passed by bipartisan majorities in both houses of Tennessee's Legislature recently stands out for being meanspirited and counterproductive. If signed by the state's Republican governor, Bill Haslam, the legislation would give Tennessee the dubious distinction of being the first state to specifically authorize the ...

Calgary stabbings: How knife crime in Canada can cause ‘moral panic’

Back Story of Yasiel Puig’s Journey to America Should Concern Dodgers

There were rumors Puig was smuggled out of Cuba by members of a Mexican drug cartel. There were rumors he still owed the smugglers money, and ...

New York Electoral College: State Joins National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.
Ben Mathis-Lilley, Slate: New York Electoral College: State Joins National Popular Vote Interstate Compact. Instead of pushing for a Constitutional amendment, which would have to be ratified in 38 states, advocates ask individual state legislatures to pass an agreement: that they'll pledge all their presidential electors to the winner of the national popular vote as soon as enough other states pass the law to ...

The Insane History of Rockets at Jet Propulsion Laboratories
The Rocket Boys In the late 1930s, a group of Caltech graduate students were booted off campus after blowing up (part of!) their building during a rocket test gone awry. Unwilling to give up on the joy of semi-controlled explosions, the students and a few of their friends headed into the San Gabriel Mountains. They picked a deserted gully -- Arroyo Seco -- ...
