Ten famous works of art that will never be the same again because of human actions. This is an interesting article that covers acts of deliberate vandalism by crazies and ideologues as well as plain old ooopses, but I think it focuses a little too much on classical objects and ignores some recent, pertinent tomfoolery. Maybe they should have expanded the list to fifteen? Dunno. It's still very well worth a look.
Ezra Klein discusses how Henry Reid's reintroduction of the DREAM Act and not Obama's recent speech is the most important event in immigration politics of the last 48 hours.
Totally awesome! Vintage "Masters of the Universe paintings by Earl Norem, William George, and Esteban Maroto. (I especially love the one with dinosaurs. That's an extra helping of win!) Courtesy of Monster Brains.
Paul Krugman brings to our attention the utterly pathetic attempts of freshman House Republicans to try to get President Obama to make the Democrats stop calling them out on Medicare. There's not much you can say about this one, really. The situation pretty much speaks for itself. But Republicans clearly feel that they're the only ones allowed to play the politics game. I sincerely hope the Democrats tell them to stick it. Metaphorically speaking.
KaTe Bush has re-recorded a number of her songs, correcting previous tracks that she felt didn't make the grade, and is releasing them as a new album: Director's Cut. You can listen to it in its entirety on NPR until its US release on May 23rd.
