Here's a review of the series in the Boston Globe. It definitely contains spoilers, and I'm not sure I agree with the final punchline about exactly what Dust is, but it's worth reading. It focuses on just what about the series mainstream Christianity finds so subversive, and why, in fact, those things are actually pro-religion. Of course, entirely dismissing the fact that Pullman is a self-proclaimed atheist in the process, but still intriguing.

Peru celebrates tasty guinea pigs

If your home or your accountant's office was damaged by flooding, you now have a big whopping extra 2 days to file your taxes. Woot.

So when Romney changes his mind, he's "older and wiser", but when democrats do they're flip-floppers? Makes total sense to me.

1994: "I have my own beliefs, and those beliefs are very dear to me. One of them is that I do not impose my beliefs on other people."
2007: "I was wrong on some issues back then."

I don't really get what the big issue is about breastfeeding in public. Yes, it makes me feel uncomfortable when I see a woman doing it. However, that's MY problem, not the mother's, not the baby's, so I avert my eyes. It's not doing anyone harm, and it's helping the baby and mother. Stupid people.

It's just like when guys walk around without shirts in their house - I'm not all that comfortable with it, but it's their house, they can do what they want, so it's my problem not theirs. Now, if someone were walking around naked in a friend's house (with me as a witness) I might say something, but chances are just as good that I'd hold my tongue and choose not to return to that place.
