  The influential publication The Nation has named Kucinich the candidate who most matches its ideals.
  
  
  
• The Flexibility of Open Source
  One of the things that has been a strong point of Open Source Software (OSS) for years, even if it hasn't been held at the forefront of the battle, is the flexibility that OSS offers.
  
  
  
• China's Pledge: Use Even More Coal
  In a first-ever government white paper that lays out an energy strategy and expectations, China has pledged to continue to rely on coal for the foreseeable future.
  
  
  
• Cheney Impeachment - Mainstream Media Wakes Up
  The mainstream media has awakened to this movement and to the extraordinary support you have given it. Your calls, letters, and emails have clearly made a difference.

• Blue Angels 5 *extremely* low transonic pass

• 5 Shocking Stats About Men and Sex
  We know that without sex researchers to disseminate data about our sex lives, we'd be forced to rely upon furtive glances in the men's room, never sure of what to add or subtract to account for the angle; upon locker room stories, never sure how many grains of skeptical salt to apply; upon porn that only leaves us feeling depressed about ourselves.
  
  
  
• Operation Falcon and the Looming Police State
  Operation Falcon is the clearest indication yet that the Bush administration is fine-tuning its shock-troops so it can roll up tens of thousands of people at a moment's notice and toss them into the newly-built Halliburton detention centers. This should be a red flag for anyone who cares at all about human rights.

  Prof Hawking of Cambridge has now added his name to a petition calling on Prime Minister Gordon Brown to halt planned cuts in physics and astronomy that has attracted more than 3,500 names on its very first day.

  Not that I've seen a whole of gay sports ads or anything but this is personally, one the best ads I've seen this year. It was for the Rugby World Cup in Paris this year.
