Personal income at a 13-year low (and 13 years ago average income was distorted by the dot.com billionaires)

Driftglass on the L word
Kenneth Gladney: because the right isn’t creative enough to come up with new outrages, they keep recycling the old, disproven tales of victimization

DOJ finally backs down a smidge on medical marijuana, exempting state employees from prosecution in medical marijuana states
Jerusalem Post apologizes for their kneejerk response to Breivik’s massacre
