scott saysStarting around 7pm, ending at 11:52pm, Kucinish introduced articles of impeachment against President G.W. Bush. Apparently four more congressmen are lined up to speak on this tomorrow.
Watch the video at the link—even if nothing comes of it, it’s ballsy.
The size of Africa. As a reddit commenter points out, the reason we are shocked by this is the map projections we’re used to don’t display things as “equal-area.” The Peters Projection Map apparently solves that. I want one!

Tucker Bounds, a spokesman for the McCain campaign
This is great news. Some of the Democratic primary debates were horrible.
David Hume, A Treatise of Human Nature, 1.3.3
This new design with all the happy colors proves unquestionably that McCain is the real candidate of change. Oh snap, reflective buttons too? I’m switching sides.
This site is so incredibly ugly compared to Obama’s. Both sites use TOO MUCH CAPS but Sen. McCain’s is close to unreadable because of it.
Euro 2008’s here! Go watch the sport everyone else in the world watches.

Incredible site from the Boston Globe that has obscenely large, hiqh-quality images of news stories. In a world of tiny photos accompanying bad CNN stories, this is very welcome.
P.S. Tumblr, allow me to use > 500px images in my templates, please!!
An email about last night’s historic events, received by Andrew Sullivan:
My grandfather, 86 years old and a veteran of WWII, just gave me a call. He was calling all of his grandchildren to let them know what an important night this was in the history of our country.
Grandpa drove a truck for over 50 years, and he told the story of how he drove with a team of drivers, 2 white (including him), and 4 black. When they stopped at the truck stops, the black drivers had to use seperate restrooms and showers, and had to eat in a small room in the back of the kitchen. Grandpa and his co-driver would eat in the back with the rest of the team, and while they didn’t speak of it at the time, they knew it was wrong yet felt powerless to change it, and believed that it would never change.
Tonight, he told me, we have come full-circle. Many people, especially the younger generation who supported Obama, will never fully realize the historical import of what happened tonight. But he wanted his grandchildren to know this story that he had never told us, and it was the second time in my 33 years that I have heard my grandpa cry.
Too awesome not to reblog.
