WE ARE THE BORG. YOUR LEGOS WILL BE ASSIMILATED.

Greetings.

Jewish date:  8 Nisan 5770 (Parashath Ṣaw).

Today’s quasi-holidays:  World Meteorological Day, Toast Day, American Diabetes Association Alert Day.

Worthy cause of the day:  “Protect the Flat-tailed Horned Lizard - The Petition Site”, “Health Insurance Reform: Finish the Job | Senator Harry Reid, Nevada - HarryReid.com”, and “Urge Congress to Increase Funding for Emergency Food Assistance - The Petition Site”.

Today’s news and commentary:

• “Still seething over bailouts”:  There are some good ideas for how to handle bailouts in this article.  I particularly like the notion that executives should have to pay the company if they do a bad job.

Today’s weird thing is the Brickshelf Gallery of Star Trek ships modeled in Legos.  Whoever created this has a lot more free time than probably most people.  The Borg cube is especially good.  Enjoy and share the weirdness.
