Charles Blow on some of the latest gems of political rhetoric. Peter Catapano on what the birthers are saying now.
Are the sciences facing a glut of PhDs?
A few interesting elements of the press coverage of the royal wedding:
-the class chatter and other petty things that say so much about the people saying them;
-the Times thought the dress was perfect, the Post thought it was boring. I will say that the last page of that one--where the 'Fergie girls' are discussed--illustrates how ridiculous people can look in expensive, designer clothes;
-the Times' discussion of the dress is interesting because of this piece about how princess-obsessed little girls aren't interested in the real princess-to-be. There was nothing Disneyesque about her.

I don't think girls liking Disney princesses is necessarily a bad thing. I mean at least, Mulan, Tiana, and Rapunzel went on adventures. The real life princesses don't have great back stories. Kate Middleton was sent to the best schools, at one of which, she met Prince William. Yawn. Give me a new-era Disney princess any day. They're strong, plucky, and usually set a way better example than the IRL ones.
