Phoning This One In

Some links for you today:

A fantastic critique of Hannity's nuance-free interview with Sarah Palin, noting that he showed the appropriate "deference" the McCain campaign set as a prerequisite for securing interviews with her. Nice to know we live in a country where the media must show deference to be granted the privilege of questioning our public servants. http://www.philly.com/philly/blogs/americandebate/The_queen_and_her_courtier.html

A post over at 538, perhaps the best polling/stats site out there, on America's worst nightmare: an electoral college tie. It is apparently more probable than you might think: http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/2008/09/12th-amendment-update-tie-probability.html

Do you keep a cell phone in your pocket, gentlemen? Read this. Apparently evidence is now mounting that they cause a drop in sperm counts. Even if you're not interested in this article you should click for the adolescent jollies in seeing the word "gonads" appear on CNN. http://www.cnn.com/2008/HEALTH/conditions/09/18/cellphone.sperm/index.html?eref=rss_topstories

That's all for this morning. We're doing our Dana Farber marathon walk this weekend. Look for photos next week of Team Haggis tearin' it up!
