Michele Bachmann will hold “Health Care Town Hall”
I’m calling all my friends, we’re going to get on a bus, we’re going to go to Michele Bachmann’s health care town hall and SCREAM AT HER FOR AN HOUR and make sure no one else can talk. Because THAT’S HOW DEMOCRACY WORKS, BITCHES!!!!
Oh, no, wait, forget it. I read the head line at DMB wrong. It looks like Michele Bachmann is going to have one of those highly controlled events that allow in only her stepford-zombie Bachmann-symps with prepared softball questions. She doesn’t really do the Town Hall thing. Why should she? She’s a Republican. It’s the Democrats that are into Democracy. The Republicans, like those after whom they name themselves, would be happy with a fiddle plaing Caesar.
John Hughes, whoever that was, is dead.

Size matters when it comes to church
A new study making its rounds in Christian media reports that people who attend churches with large congregations have more intense, more conservative, and more fundamentalist-literalist beliefs than Christians who attend small churches
I fear this is a bit like the popularity of the grease pushing fast food places vs. the mom and pop diners, often sharing parking lots along America’s byways. Or am I reading too little into this?
Today’s Google doodle
What the heck is that thing?????? It turns out that today’s Google Doodle honors the scientist who discovered EMF (although I believe people fight about who really discovered it, where, and when). PZ noted this here.
Taming Twitter with the Command Line
I thought I was done with the command line for the week, but then I did something cool that I thought I’d share with you. Linux users only … others will think this is silly … join me below the fold.
Lewis Black + Big Bang = I might watch it once

New, Very Cool Image of Vic Crater, Mars
Look closely at this picture of Victoria Crater on Mars. Clicking on the picture will give you a really big file, but a much better look. There are a number of things you can see in this view of Victoria that you could not see on earlier version because this is a somewhat oblique view. The details are in the press release I reproduce below the fold. But the other thing you can see that is REALLY FREAKIN’ COOL is the mars rover tracks running along one side of the crater! Go ahead, see if you can find them!

Do people have an intrinsic right to health care?
Many promoters of health-care reform believe that people have an intrinsic ethical right to health care–to equal access to doctors, medicines and hospitals. While all of us empathize with those who are sick, how can we say that all people have more of an intrinsic right to health care than they have to food or shelter?
