Looking for a distraction now that the Democratic Primaries are over? I know I'm a little at a loss for what to post about these days, and you can go any number of directions with that. Visiting Andrew Sullivan over at the Atlantic today I found two, One being a deep breath and a visit to some lighter fair, like the ReelGeezers, whose review of the Superbad is below (I just rewatched Superbad last week!).
Another direction one can go is into the deeper issues of the day. I already tossed up a quick post earlier about the SCOTUS' big decision on habeas corpus, but here's another fascinating post over at Sullivan's blog with some nice back and forth around the question of whether "Empire" is the right metaphor for understanding America's presence in Iraq. Either way you want to go, nice to know there's still lots of fun distractions out there in the world.
Oh, and here's one more, check out Purple State's post about (among other things) a Canadian school child's awesome science fair project that looked into a bacterial solution to decomposing plastics. If you don't know why this is an issue, check out a film on plastic in the oceans.

The Love That is Forgotten
Have you ever loved something truly, madly, deeply, and then completely forgotten about it?
No???
Ok... maybe I'm all alone on this one, but I used to read the Best of Craigslist a few times a week. It was often good for a wee dose of hilarity in my day. Recently, not so much. I just completely dropped it from my internets routine. Today, however, in the midst of a project for work Craigslist came up... and a light bulb flicked on somewhere deep in the recesses of my consciousness. Memories of laughter in days-gone-by hit me like a wall of water and I pulled up a new window to revisit my long-lost love. What did I find?
Kissing Lessons (favorite line from this post, "Pick up the phone now! And then put it back down and send me an email for an awe inspiring experience!!"), a Cat Bus (amazing picture), and a hairpiece that inspires rage in animals.
Believe me, that's only the beginning. Ah, Best of Craigslist... I'm so happy you're back.
