This neat comic comes from StudioFoglio.com. Girl Genius volume one focuses on Agatha Clay, student and lab assistant at Transylvanio Polygnostic University. Needless to say, it’s a lot of fun, and great artwork.
Leaves me tempted to order from the StudioFoglio folks.
The Atlanta Journal Constitution posted this interesting article on the frustrations of the new Medicare bill. While her approach and phrasing is a little too flamish for my tastes, she makes an excellent point at the end. The bill does not suit the needs of the elderly, rather fits the pharmaceutical companies’ purses. Topping it off, the bill doesn’t address the 17% of people on Medicare who are in a dire situation and need more help.
everythingESL.net is a great resource for ideas for teaching. Most of the things I have looked through are appropriate for Kindergarten on up, and it’s a great resource for ideas and good materials for working with kids.
I am cphosting this forum with a scholar on China’s water issues. This is the kind of stuff I researched all through college, and it’s fascinating stuff. If you’re interested in this kind of thing, it may be worth checking out.

This is another Mon, Wed, Fri comic. I love Paul Taylor’s style. It’s good stuff and he’s great with expressions. What I really like about this strip is that it was my Saturday night, left out at the end of the table.

I love this editorial strip. It’s out Monday Wednesday Friday, and it’s got a great edge and actually gives you clues to back up what JJ McCullough is talking about.
