June 4th MISCELLANY!

[maxomai]

• How you can help win the Wisconsin recall. This is important, kids, because if Walker fends off a recall, there is a good chance that he will be indicted, and that his even nuttier Lieutenant Governor will take his place.


• Wherein Paul Krugman laments the very lamentable fact that he's consistently right and consistently ignored by Washington.


• Tom Tomorrow on how to teach kids about the Kill List, or Schoolhouse Rock, The Sequel.


• The case for South Africa being more progressive than the United States. ZA has its problems, for sure, but the slow, painful descent into a corporate-run state isn't one of them.


• Why Bob Shrum needs to STFU, part one million.


• The economy is really better than last week's employment report would indicate.


• Why are grunting women's tennis players a big goddamn deal .. when men get a pass? More on this here.


• People, if your cat dies, please, please please please, as a favor to me, do not turn them into a remote controlled quad-propeller helicopter.
