Field notes from an anthropologist.
Mark Twain Video
Not really — as the first commenter points out, it’s film, but it’s pretty cool. Particularly considering who the film maker was.
The Tea Party

The Mars Society convention, that is. I’m not taking a computer, so probably no blogging until this evening.

Clark Lindsey is on top of it. I wrote a piece for Popular Mechanics, but I’m not sure when it will go up. I don’t have a lot of time to discuss it this morning, because I’m finishing up a presentation for the Mars Society meeting this afternoon.

[Update mid morning]
Harry Reid’s office refuses to deny his sexual attraction to little boys.
AP’s Smear On Romney
It was apparently too much even for Howie Kurtz.
[Update a few minutes later]
The anti-Romney press is behaving like spoiled children. Nothing new there.
