madame scientist's not-so-mad musings

Just do it.

Just in..US credit rating downgraded to AA+ for the first time in history. Lower than UK, Canada, France and Germany. Purely as a result of a manufactured crisis.

Honestly, tell me if I’m an intellectual snob. Do we really want college flunkies to be running our country? GW Bush was not the brightest star in the firmament, then we had John McCain who graduated at the bottom of his class. Of course, Ms. Palin- who sampled 6 colleges in a quest for a journalism degree but could not name a single newspaper at a pinch. Now we have Mr. Perry who is poised to run for President..I know Organic Chem is tough, but surely a future Prez can do better than an F? Not to mention all the C’s and D’s (even in Gym?). It is sad when we set the bar so low. 😦

It’s all in the cloud.

Hmm…ESP or invasion of privacy? Does convenience trump?

Very cool. Free chapters from textbooks for iPad. Individual chapters or entire books for purchase. Must try eye candy.

Tea Partiers channel their inner Tolkien…”You shall not Pass!”.

Great for giggles!

By far the best commentary on the debt ceiling.

Canadian PM posts cute kitten pix on G+! The internet is good for at least one thing.
