George Lakoff talks smart about why conservatives kick the ass of progressives in the national debate. [Via Scripting News]

In a nutshell, it's because conservatives control how the issues are framed, because they're the only ones bothering to do it. Dear progressives: get the sticks out of your asses and get in the game, because we're losing.

28MM is an interesting online photo magazine. I especially enjoyed the first piece, Organics - Revisited. I also liked that most (all?) of the contributers are also amateur photos :). [Found via PhotographyBLOG, in an entry pointing to another online photo mag I didn't like so much.]

In that same theme, some photos of Iceland with heartbreakingly beautiful colors. [Via the ever sentimental Die Puny Humans]  7:14:26 PM  (comments [])
