July 6th MISCELLANY!

• Al Jazeera's recently aired a documentary laying out the case that Arafat was assassinated via polonium poisoning. You can view the whole thing here. MSNBC has picked up the story here in the States. I still don't see this story having much in the way of, you know, legs.


• A top Syrian general has defected to Turkey.


• Libya is preparing to vote in free elections for the first time in decades. Still not all roses there, obviously.


• Wingnuts pass a bill to fund religious schools in Louisiana. Wingnuts suddenly figure out, to their complete horror, that money then goes to Islamic schools. They're out there, folks.


• Want a career in space? SpaceX is hiring. Yes, I'm tempted.
