SNEAKY SCIENCE
The origins of the Intelligent Design movement can be found in the so-called Wedge Document, a founding manifesto and fundraising document for the Center for Science and Culture. It lays out a broadly ideological agenda, setting out a multi-decade plan for “the overthrow of materialism and its cultural legacies” and for the acceptance of “the proposition that human beings are created in the image of God.” But in presentations and public appearances CSC founder Stephen Meyer still presents himself as a scientist who is just following the evidence.

t r u t h o u t | Oysters for Health Care
PEOPLE'S RX
Although Dr. Regina Benjamin's clinic has not been able to give her a salary for years she's been willing to buy patient meds out of her own pocket. As we well know, many of the folks in the bayou are poor. So poor that sometimes she's paid with a pint of oysters or a couple of fish and she's been fine with that too. As a result she's received accolades from the health care industry and local politicos as well. This week, Numero Uno nominated her for Surgeon General.

Shouts & Murmurs: Britney’s Conversion Diary : The New Yorker
NO GRANDEE, SHE
Now, if E! was this funny I would watch it all of the time. This piece by Andy Borowitz, ostensibly about Britney Spears considering converting to Judaism, is hilarious. The singer has supposedly been spotted wearing a necklace with the Star of David symbol on during her world tour. She has even recruited a rabbi to help her study the faith.
