The most accurate thing you are likely to read about education this week, courtesy of D-Ed Reckoning.

“Sorry your parents were screw-ups, kid. The penalty is death.” Seriously, a Florida teenager has been removed from an organ transplant list because he’s in the foster system.

I could go on about FISA, but Jill and Yeti did such a nice job.

Fafblog is updated irregularly, but they only post quality stuff, like this run-down of potential Veep candidates.

A couple questions about Senator McCain: is he in fact a natural born United States citizen? And did he bother to divorce wife #1 (you remember, the one who had the temerity to be injured and disfigured while Johnny was being tortured) before marrying wife #2 (the beer baroness)?

It turns out there is a magic pill to improve your health. And the good news is it’s cheap! The bad news is it’s called “exercise”.

Have a great weekend.
