Content Challenge: MSM links edition

I have been busy all day doing taxes, paying bills, baking bread, chasing after my child, grocery shopping, making dinner, doing laundry, cleaning some five-gallon buckets I found on the street that smell strongly of feta cheese, and doing my home nature study course. I have not had time to read the news at all, internets! And also, I do not feel like reading about the force-feeding at Guantanamo today, or the letter alberto gonzales wrote to the Senate Judiciary Committee in which he 'clarified' his non-testimony testimony earlier this month, not that the clarification clarified anything. I don't know what's going on with Dubai ports, I don't know if they've found bird flu in more cats yet, and I have been meaning to point out this article on Bagram: The Other Guantanamo (tm) for a week now. Even looking at this headline 'Rapid Warming' Spreads Havoc in Canada's Forests gives me hives. Oh, and also Alito's Note to Evangelist is Called Just Thanks, to which I say "yeah, right", noting that a total ban on abortions is also rapidly advancing in MIssissippi, so I guess I put his thank-you note to James Dobson in the category of "emboldening the enemy" of my uterus, or at least the uteri of my sisters in that state.

I haven't even read all the way down my newsreader for the day, which is why every single one of those links comes from the New York Times and the Washington Post. How totally mainstream is that?!
