UN racism, Card, Diamond, Bear, Krugman

* UN racism conference news. Libya gets called out.
* Polarized voting index
* The First Earth Day. Condom witches in Bloomington.
* Article mentions that Orson Scott Card is on the board of the National Organization for Marriage (nom nom nom), which seems to be the new front of gay-marriage bigotry.
* Jared Diamond sued for making shit up. LJ comments here. [livejournal.com profile] carloshasanax and Doug M. traditionally criticize Diamond for abusing his citations; William Hyde seems a good climatologist and rejects Doug M's source.
* Greg Bear to write Halo novels.

* Krugman on "too many banks" and a Bush-like shifting of narratives for the bank policy -- Bushlike in how tax cuts were a good idea when the economy was booming (give back money) and failing (stimulus!) and wartime (...).
