Late afternoon/early evening open thread

What's coming up on Sunday Kos ....

• DarkSyde will "pre-game" a new science program airing on the Discovery Channel this weekend, and watching it just may save your life!
• If you think that every other poll released this year has been either a Rasmussen poll or a Republican poll, you’re awfully close to being right. Steve Singiser has catalogued nearly a thousand polls, and thinks the saturation of GOP-friendly sources could be skewing analysis of the 2010 cycle.
• Mark Sumner talks about the end of the Industrial Age, the beginning of the Information Age, and why we shouldn't delude ourselves that

  we've made the transition.

• In a departure from her usual appeal to give women more of a voice in political discourse, Kaili Joy Gray talks about a few women from whom we need to hear less. Or not at all.
• Dante Atkins takes a look at the small minds and unintended consequences of the renewed anti-Islam fervor in the conservative movement.
• It could be about international or national affairs. It could be about tensions within the Democratic Party. It could be about site meta. It could be just for fun. Laurence Lewis recounts an ancient tale of Nasrudin.
