* If you want to keep on top of the protests in Africa & the Middle East, the quake in New Zealand, and the Union Strikes in Wisconsin, politics is the place to be (I'm assuming you already know about Al Jazeera and The Guardian). The folks over there are fantastic.

* Mother Jones continues in it's excellent current events primer series with What's Happening in Wisconsin Explained and What's Happening in Libya Explained.

You're welcome! The situation in Wisconsin's an intense example of what's going on all across the country - newly elected Republicans are pushing through all sorts of extremely conservative shit. Texas, for example, just cleared the sonogram bill and are making drastic cuts to education. And the attacks on Planned Parenthood and on health care, all under the guise of 'fixing the budget'...

Woah, I got a little ranty there. Sorry!
