Here's some important info on the arrival of scary, scary socialism in America. On a related note, I read that Harry Reid suggested buying dictionaries for tea party types so they could learn what socialism actually means. Good luck with that and all but, really, good on ya, sir.

On a completely unrelated note, John Scalzi was en fuego for his AMC column last week, a look at the pros and cons of living in various science fictional universes.

Everyone's seen this already I'm sure. Further proof (as if nominating Mean Old Man McCain in 2008 wasn't proof enough) that the Republicans are now the party of "hey, you damn kids get off my lawn!"
