Part one: I really wish I’d read this article before attempting to clean up a broken bulb in my kitchen a few months ago. Heh.
Part two: A few months ago, I posted about seeing the documentary King Corn, and commented on the film’s handling of former Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz. Timothy Noah has a good essay on Slate now on the pair of statements that cost Butz his job. (Hint: Butz was not exactly what you would call racially sensitive.)
