I've been really swamped today, and although I have a bunch of ideas rattling around my head, they'll have to wait until 4am, the only time this house is (generally) quiet. But in the meantime, there are a number of great articles which are must-reads.
First, head on over to PLA, where Dwight has the scoop on an issue I've been meaning to write on myself, Monsanto's attack on Maine's favorite son dairy, Oakhurst, for their use of farms which pledge not to use artificial growth hormones in their cows. Oakhurst is the milk of choice in this household, but it should be noted that I'm fairly sure Maine's other big milk producer, Hood, also markets their milk as hormone free.
Next, the beloved Jim C. of the Rittenhouse Review reminds us to keep up the heat on his near opponent in the Pennsylvania Senate race, Arlen Specter, who will cast the deciding vote to move the nomination of William Pryor to the U.S. Court of Appeals, 11th Circuit out of the Judiciary Committee.
Then, Julia at Sisyphus Shrugged introduces us to Laurent Murawiec. Don't have a clue? Then go. Now. Scoot. It's a name we all might want to be familiar with after this week.
And just in case you thought that with all this talk about African yellowcake, the Left had suddenly forgotten all about John Lott, Tom, as always, Thinking It Through, is still on the case.
And while I tend to go visit my friend Allison at an Unsealed Room for the latest on the Israeli domestic front (literally, in this case), Bean at Alas is the one with the goods this time.
Drew, at So Far, So Left reminds us of the Republican double standard when it comes to partisan ads.
Teddy and Angry Bear have been holding down the fort over at It's Still the Economy, Stupid, and do an excellent job while the rest of us slack off this summer. I'm hoping that after the Blogathon (Sponsor Me, Please!!!!) I'll be able to get back on track over there, and at AutismWatch's new digs as well.
And finally, speaking of the economy, Charles Dodgson at the excellent Through the Looking Glass has a bit of a critique of Uncle Alan, as well as the executives on a particular conference call at IBM.

i have a friend who, before GE laid him off from their Network Ops ctr, had to train the people in India who would be taking over his job. he trained them for two months, knowing the whole time when his last day would be, and that he had to train them to do his job.
it took him a little over 18 months to find another job, and this one's only a temp position.
