Test Time!
So think you know your current events? Take the Big Quiz from our MSM pals at MSNBC and see how you rank. I've not taken it yet, but will and(accurately) report my results.
Update: I missed 8 for an 84% (I always was a solid-B kinda guy). It should've been one better, since I missed one that I totally knew and just misentered the answer.
Alas, guess that happens on the GRE and SAT, too.

But it's satire, right? Right?!
Sometimes it's hard to tell, unfortunately. The Onion offers Israel Bombs Anti-Semitism Out of Lebanon and Slate gives us Who Deserves Democracy? Exactly which one is 'the joke'?

Um. . . Excuse me?!
I don't even know where to file this one. It seems that a California company hired to build a border fence to keep illegal immigrants out of the US has just been fined ( and their principals may still face jail time) for, ahem; employing undocumented laborers to keep other undocumented laborers out of the country.
According to this NPR report the US Attorney General's office believes up to one-third of the company's workforce are illegals.
