My pal Jed encounters a number of links that tackle topics typically far beyond the cognitive requirements of the standards of this site but I still appreciate them. The following I found particularly interesting and I'm reposting them directly from him.

• News You Can Use - a list of useful facts that likely go against your daily habits but would be ideal to adopt to improve your life. I think the non-daily shower routine is something I can get into...
• Constitutionally rotten - a great writeup on the the flawed thinking involved with constantly drumming up the Constitution / Founding Father Worship™ for rationale against a progressive mentality. The idea being, a revision to the somewhat antiquated text might do our country some good. I like the idea here but I fear what kind of horrible mess would come of it if anyone actually tried to make it happen.
