Video: Republicans lie about reconciliation
Senator Barbara Boxer joins Rachel Madddow to set the record straight on the difference between the so-called "nuclear option" and the Congressional process known as reconciliation, and call out Republicans for deliberately using those terms interchangeably to cause confusion.
The short term memory of both the media and the public astounds me. Stewart takes on Cramer, and Maddow's got the Hill. Excellent. Good thing there's that internet thingy that can be referenced for information. This actually reminds me of a favorite video: The Machine is Us/ing us.

TEDTalks : Temple Grandin: The world needs all kinds of minds
This video was fantastic. Educators should most certainly watch this.
Temple Grandin, diagnosed with autism as a child, talks about how her mind works -- sharing her ability to "think in pictures," which helps her solve problems that neurotypical brains might miss. She makes the case that the world needs people on the autism spectrum: visual thinkers, pattern thinkers, verbal thinkers, and all kinds of smart geeky kids.
