The Perils of 'Populist Chic' - WSJ.com
This is good - this is what I've been trying to say about anti-intellectualism in the GOP - and Sarah Palin has been the acme of that "achievement" - Andrew Sullivan calls this article a "must read" and I agree. I hope they can find their collective intellectual soul, because it's scary to have an opponent who is both stupid and popular - how can you have a rational argument with dogma, talking points, sound bites, and slogans?

Why Gay Marriage Was Defeated in California - TIME
In this case, fear, unfounded fears fanned by propaganda of religion-based beliefs, won out over hope and fairness. So sad, and so ironic that African Americans, who voted in record numbers for a candidate that gave them hope, also voted against equal rights for another group, crushing ~their~ hope.

Blasting the Myth of the Fold - Boxes and Arrows: The design behind the design
The idea that some people put forth that users don't scroll has always struck me as patently ridiculous! This is a good article - obviously, you need to put your most important content - the stuff that tells readers what the site is about or good for, above the fold. Personally, I would *much* rather scroll than go to another page! Hello - that's what cntrl+F is for! (or in my case, apple+F). Guess what - we've all learned to scroll! Duh!
