Of Martial Law, Porn $$ and Six-Word Novels

From one end of the spectrum to the other...it's the only way to sum up some of the blog discoveries today.

That shares space with today's second-most-cited blog post about porn-industry donations to the Republican Party. Honest.

If that's not earth-shattering enough, perhaps the news delivered by Sir Nicholas Stern (today's burstiest person) will be: his global warming report, delivered in Britain, forecasts dire economic consequences if the nations of the world don't start addressing carbon/greenhouse gases.
