Bill O'Reilly on "pal" Michael Savage
On September 15, FOX News Channel host Bill O'Reilly said that
he had invited "our pal" syndicated right-wing radio host Michael
Savage to come on The Radio Factor with Bill O'Reilly.
O'Reilly added, "I like Savage. I think he's very
entertaining." As Media Matters for America has documented, Savage's
brand of "entertainment" consists of spewing racist, sexist, and
homophobic epithets, as well as personal attacks on prominent
Democrats and progressives. [Media Matters for America]

Glenn Reynolds: License To Be An Idiot
Glenn:
UPDATE: Well, if it's not true now, it might be after this story: "Three-year-old Sophia Parlock cries while seated on the shoulders of her father, Phil Parlock, after having their Bush-Cheney sign torn up by Kerry-Edwards supporters on Thursday, Sept. 16, 2004, at the Tri-State Airport in Huntington, W.Va." I guess it's part of the new climate of fear in America. Sheesh.
Reality. The guy's told this same story every presidential election year.
He goes and uses his kids as props for his jackassery every election cycle, and probably waits around until something either happens...or else he says something happened. He keeps going to rallies and being "attacked"...on his word only.

It was that this war was noble and defensible but that this administration was simply too incompetent and arrogant to carry it out effectively. I dismissed this as facile Bush-bashing at the time. I was wrong." [EdCone.com]
That was the exact agrument I made.

Deaf children invent a new sign language
From The Telegraph: Deaf children invent a new sign language. Scientists have witnessed the birth of a new language, one invented by deaf children. A study published today shows that a sign language that emerged over two decades ago now counts as a true language. It began in a school for the deaf in Managua, Nicaragua, founded in 1977. With instruction only in lip-reading and speaking Spanish, neither very successful, and no exposure to adult signing, the children were left to their own devices. Their first pantomime-like gestures evolved into a grammar of increasing complexity as new children learned the... [Mirabilis.ca]
NPR ran a bit on it on NPR's Talk of the Nation, that's pretty interesting.
