Good Wife is my favorite show right now. Such smart writing--and my family in Chicago who are all lawyers and political consultants LOVE it.
It's just an object. It doesn't mean what you think.

Dear Sir,
When you receive an e-mail that begins "CONFIDENTIAL and SENSITIVE – do not forward" and contains confidential and sensitive information that should not be shared outside of the people receiving said e-mail, it is probably not a great idea to CC the entire Research and Development department on your reply.
Bemusedly yours,

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
So, I've been mainlining The Good Wife. I finished Season 1 and am no on Season 2.
Where have you found them online?? I so want to catch up with Good Wife and Fringe but haven't been able to find them on Netflix or Hulu. (iTunes is an option, but it's spendy.)

Debunking of honey: plants that pollinate by having their pollen all over the place? Not the same plants that pollinate by having bees go from flower to flower carrying the pollen with them.
That is what my father, the beekeeper, explained to me and it is, in fact, pretty darn logical.

I could see the honey thing working for some plants. My mom was very allergic to roses, and bees love them.

Muppet is a good early warning system for thunderstorms, as she starts acting paranoid before we can hear them. Not much else bothers her too much, so it's easier to pick up on than with your Average Scaredy Cat.
When the first loud peal of thunder sounds, that is audible to human ears, she scoots under the nearest Large Thing and stays there most sensibly.

I bought the DVDs, so I'm not sure where you'd find them online. I bought season 1 when amazon had a sale a year or so ago and they were cheap. But then I just spent more on season 2 than I'd like. I think I'll also iTunes Season3, but yes, spendy is true.

Sigh. Oh well.
I ran out of Luther on Netflix last week, so I'm looking for a new thing to catch up with.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So the Mayor of Newark, Cory Booker, ran into a burning building and saved a woman's life.
I already liked him from that documentary series about Newark, but still.

The Forward, a Yiddish paper in New York, is reprinting some of their original Titanic coverage (translated into English.) [link] The reports of Isidor and Ida Strauss's deaths are heartbreaking.
Being a socialist paper, the Forward felt the need to go off on this digression in an other wise "just the facts" article:
The capitalist press is attempting to sing love songs to the great millionaire [John] Jacob Astor. They describe his heroic attempts to have others rescued, and he appears to have acted like a knight or a martyr. There’s no mention, however, of similar martyrdom and heroism of the poor, but from accounts, one can tell that hundreds of the poor evinced a calmer heroism than that of Astor.
Mr. Astor’s 19-year-old wife was rescued. The reader is reminded that she is not yet 20 years old and that her husband was close to 50. He divorced his first wife in order to be with this 19 year old. His 19-year-old son was best man at the wedding.
The capitalist newspapers are parading her about as if she were America’s queen. They excitedly report to us the happy event soon to come when she will become a mother and there will be a new little Astor.
