Like Geico: Salon profiles Geico ads, which are a mix of just about everything... just like the rest of the stories in this post.
The Guardian had an article citing studies that show that babies that share the bed with their parents are at higher risk of "cot death." After reading the article though, I still have no idea why that is... am I missing something?
Since the metro bombings, scooter sales have shot up. The Guardian profiles some pros and cons.
Rep. Frank Lautenberg is apparently known for his displays on the floor. This Chickenhawk display is somewhat old, but I had never seen it before, and thought it was funny.
This Slate article on the humiliation about to befall Judge Roberts as he recieves the ritual nickname from Bush is also pretty amusing. And readers are invited to make nickname suggestions!
Not so funny was an article criticizing Jon Stewart for not being harder on his guests (the article is available by subscription only on TNR.com)... despite my love for Jon Stewart and instinctive rush to defend him against harangues, I think the author has a somewhat of a point. For now, I'm inclined to go with Kristen's theory that he just had an off night.
