This is what happens: The U.S. House of Representatives, the most insufferable gaggle of political mongrels this side of, well, the rest of Congress, reverts to GOP control like a brain tumor reverts to a more aggressive form of cancer, and everything gets bleaker and sadder and, frankly, a whole lot nastier.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/politics\">politics<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/us\">us<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/society\">society<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/culture\">culture<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/pipeline.corante.com\/archives\/2010\/11\/04\/where_drugs_come_from_the_numbers.php\">Where Drugs Come From: The Numbers. In the Pipeline:<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&#8220;We can now answer the question: &#8220;Where do new drugs come from?&#8221;. Well, we can answer it for the period from 1998 on, at any rate. A new paper in Nature Reviews Drug Discovery takes on all 252 drugs approved by the FDA from then through 2007, and traces each of them back to their origins. What&#8217;s more, each drug is evaluated by how much unmet medical need it was addressed to and how scientifically innovative it was. Clearly, there&#8217;s going to be room for some argument in any study of this sort, but I&#8217;m very glad to have it, nonetheless. Credit where credit&#8217;s due: who&#8217;s been discovering the most drugs, and who&#8217;s been discovering the best ones?&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/science\">science<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/medicine\">medicine<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/drugs\">drugs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/chemistry\">chemistry<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/academia\">academia<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/blogs\">blogs<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/in-the-pipeline\">in-the-pipeline<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"delicious-link\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.theonion.com\/articles\/africanamerican-community-calls-for-new-black-nerd,18389\/\">African-American Community Calls For New Black Nerd Archetype | The Onion &#8211; America&#8217;s Finest News Source<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-extended\">&#8220;&#8221;Right now, there are only three major role models in American society for black children to aspire to: the gangsta rapper, the pro basketball player, and the president of the United States,&#8221; the statement concluded. &#8220;And that is just sad.&#8221;&#8221;<\/div>\n<div class=\"delicious-tags\">(tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/race\">race<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/society\">society<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/culture\">culture<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/silly\">silly<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.delicious.com\/orzelc\/onion\">onion<\/a>)<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Five close-approach images of Hartley 2 by Deep Impact, with commentary &#8211; The Planetary Society Blog | The Planetary Society &#8220;Here&#8217;s the five close-approach images of Hartley 2 captured today, November 4, 2010, by the Deep Impact spacecraft, collected into one file.
