Sunday

Hamas U. (from the Boston Globe). Interesting story about the rise of Islam in Gaza and the Islamic University of Gaza.

DNA Deception. "A Texas Tribune review of nine years' worth of e-mails and internal documents on the Department of State Health Services’ newborn blood screening program reveals the transfer of hundreds of infant blood spots to an Armed Forces lab to build a national and, someday, international mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) registry." Who the hell signed off on this?

Obama Bullshit bingo. Great idea for staying awake during Obama speeches.

Federal spending as a share of GDP chart. "Obama’s budget shows that interest payments will start rising rapidly next year and hit 3 percent of GDP by 2015. And that’s an optimistic projection."

The coming collapse of the commercial real estate market.

The story behind five banned toys and games (Popular Mechanics). I like lawn darts.

One cool thing for foodies in Austin has been the rise of some awesome food carts. Here's a website dedicated to them. G'Raj Mahal has become one of my favorite places in Austin, especially since it is right next to Clive, which is also very cool.

I didn't think they had a depp run in them this year because the talent mix on the team is just weird, but what the hell has happened to my Horns?
