Reality check: Those crazy muslims!

First of all, in case you've been distracted and so gotten sucked in by all of those articles wondering why "those" muslims are so irrational and upset about a lousy video, please read this analysis by Ray McGovern for a much-needed reality-check via Alternet.org.

And if you just need some prejudice reinforcement, cracked.com to the rescue!

Dreams Need Not Explain Themselves

ETA: Since I've been outed elsewhere, I won't wait for someone else to do it here. The below is a hoax, part satire, part attempt to get a real publisher to put an anthology like this one together. You know, an "essential" collection that just happens not to have any white male writers in the table of contents. I think it's instructive that it took me two or three hours to put together the TOC, mostly from books sitting on my shelf.
I like getting ARCs ... Some outfit called The BumblePuppy Press has just asked if I want an advance copy of their first SF anthology.0 Nice cover, and if the table of contents is anything to go by, it's going to be hard not to like it. Naturally, I said "yes, please."

You Just *Know* I'm Procrastinating

Apropos of nothing in particular, the following image cracked me up, too. And no, I don't know where it originated.
