1. The Boston Globe posted a few of Yann Arthus-Bertrand's photos seen in the Earth From Above exhibit. To see more, visit Arthus-Bertrand's site or his other site. (Don't ask me why he has two sites with nearly identical URLs.)
2. Sad Guys on Trading Floors - a new photo blog. So far, this entry is my favorite.
3. Eleven things the next president should do for science
5. A creepy WP article about Palin's campaign rallies, with excerpts like these:
Palin then went on to blame Katie Couric's questions for her "less-than-successful interview with kinda mainstream media."

"One of his earliest supporters is a man named Bill Ayers," she said. ("Boooo!" said the crowd.) "And, according to the New York Times, he was a domestic terrorist and part of a group that, quote, 'launched a campaign of bombings that would target the Pentagon and our U.S. Capitol,' " she continued. ("Boooo!" the crowd repeated.)
"Kill him!" proposed one man in the audience.
