Odds and Ends, some odder than others

Juan Cole has a thing or two to say about the rightwing attempts to use Obama's middle name "Hussein" as a slur.

Uh oh. There's a contest going on. Mayhem ensues.

But, seriously. Envisioning an Obama Cabinet: Secretary of State Louis Farrakhan! Yessssssss!

Father Tyme gives us Not So Deep Thoughts, such as:
Didja…Ever wonder how the Evangelicals can say that un-provable religion is factual yet call evolution a theory?
Princess Sparkle Pony has some suggestions for the designers of Florida's license plates. (H/T Crooks and Liars).

I did some research earlier today - very labor intensive - in order to respond to this statement at a wingnut blog:
BTW, the reason people didn’t care (about the Clenis' personal life) wasn’t because he was doing a great job; it was because after 8 years of scandal after scandal after scandal they were sick and tired of hearing about it.
and I thought the results would also be worth filing away here for any future reference. Here are Bill Clinton's job approval ratings and here are George W. Bush's job approval ratings. Make of it what you will.

And, finally, somebody please feed the cat:
