• This is not good news for the beef industry. The Bush administration wants to stop all this crazy testing for mad cow disease! They're afraid the consumer might be freaked out by too much information. Seriously. But you're not still eating that hormone-laden, untested, corn-fed, antibiotic-charged, E. coli-tainted beef from the big cattle companies anyway, are you? Me neither (via Ice Station Tango).
• Oy. Tennessee's addled legislature has apparently decided to illustrate the principle of entropy. Sigh.
• For anyone bothered by the suggestion that their hard-earned contributions to the Obama campaign might end up being used to pay off the debts of a woman who's worth tens of millions of dollars, relax -- it doesn't work that way.
• Like many of this year's Congressional Republicans, Liddy Dole is in deep trouble in North Carolina. Oh, well.
• Jenna Bush got married yesterday, and guess who performed the ceremony?The Rev. Kirbyjon Caldwell of Windsor Village United Methodist Church in Houston officiated at the ceremony. Mr. Caldwell, a longtime religious adviser to Mr. Bush, has endorsed Senator Barack Obama.
  Of course, Jenna might be supporting Barack Obama as well.
• What is Half in Ten? Well, this is the way the Station Agent puts it: John Edwards moves his campaign against poverty forward by creating Half in Ten. The idea is to cut poverty in half in ten years, which is a truly ambitious goal considering Bush is trying to double poverty within the next five or six hours.
• And finally, via A List of Things Thrown Five Minutes Ago, I found the trailer to Hamlet 2, which is due to hit theaters at the end of August. It could be hilarious or it be so over-the-top that it misses the mark, but the bit here made me laugh.
