Balloon Juice:

Sully links to an excellent Times blog piece on how, predictably, the least educated are being hit the hardest by the recession:

The overall unemployment rate for the more educated is only 4.3 percent. Individuals with a high school degree, but no college, have a 10 percent unemployment rate (not seasonally adjusted). The unemployment rate for high school dropouts is 15.5 percent. Moreover, the unemployment rate gap between the most- and least-skilled is widening, not narrowing. Between February and March, the unemployment rate for college graduates increased by one-tenth of a percentage point. Among high school dropouts, the unemployment rate increased by four-tenths of a point.

But less educated does not mean less bright. It just means you feel less superiour…

The Taliban kill lovers:

A young couple who tried to elope in one of the most lawless and conservative parts of Afghanistan have been publicly executed by Taliban gunmen after their parents handed them over to be tried by insurgents.

Officials from the south-western province of Nimroz say Gul Pecha, in her late teens, and her boyfriend Abdul Aziz, 21, were shot by a firing squad outside a mosque in their home village of Lokhi on Monday.

The couple had fled to a nearby village and were planning to start a life together without the permission of their parents, according to the province’s police chief Abdul Jabar Pardeli.

But they were found by their parents and turned over to the Taliban, who held them for four days in Lokhi’s mosque before putting them on trial.

Ghulam Dastageer Azad, the governor of Nimroz, said the couple’s execution was “against Islam, against the law and against the constitution”.

As Coalition of the Swilling notes:  boat in the Bible was actually called “Noah’s Kwok”

HONG KONG — This city’s three billionaire Kwok brothers have just the answer for the rising waters threatening the global economy: the world’s first life-size replica of Noah’s ark, built to biblical specifications off the coast of this recession-struck Chinese financial center. The message in its 450-foot-long hull, its rooftop luxury hotel and 67 pairs of fiberglass animals: “The financial tsunami will be over,” says Spencer Lu, the Kwoks’ project director at Noah’s Ark, which is opening soon.

Nadja Benaissa of No Angels accused of infecting partner with HIV:

The 26-year-old singer was arrested on Saturday in Frankfurt before she was due to perform in a solo concert.

She reportedly faces a possible charge of grievous bodily harm.

Brian Appleyard on the slimy Damian McBride:

And why is this Draper still around? I dimly remember he once tried to have dinner with me. I just laughed. The answer is, of course, that they are both products of the dance of death between politicians and the press that began in the mid-nineties. So-called sleaze (I say ’so-called’ because it wasn’t really worthy of the title, what we have now is much much worse) brought down John Major and Blair launched a control the press project using Mandelson and Campbell. It worked, the press acquiesced by allowing themselves to be convinced that the proper subject of political coverage was the Westminster soap opera and so, for almost fifteen years, we have had crap politics and crapper political journalism. We arrive at the point where a Brown strategist’s idea of strategy is to pump out dirty lies about the opposition, apparently safe in the knowledge that the mere fact that they are lies will not compromise their effectiveness one jot.

I wouldn’t have notice this blog if I hadn’t read about the attempt to shut it down.

Julie Burchill:

“I’ll work for anyone, apart from the Guardian. The other day, before Jade Goody had died, they rang up and said: “Will you write an obituary?” Icky. So I said, ‘I don’t want to soil the pages of the Guardian with my filth. I’m happy with my own kind on the Sun’.” She could identify with Goody, a working-class girl made (sort of) good. “Jade was a big-hearted girl who made the best of her difficult life and was the victim of white, liberal, middle-class prejudice. She got a raw deal over the Shilpa Shetty thing. That was a class war.”

Via Pandagon, and Balloon Juice this from Rick Warren:

RW: Actually, I have what, Hugh, I’ve had it for almost 40 years. I call it a warnings file. And every time I watch somebody, and Satan has no temptations that are new. It’s either money, sex or power. It’s lust of the flesh, lust of the eyes, the pride of life, and you have to know the antidotes, and you have to set up the parameters that keep you from even being tempted in those areas, which means for instance, I’m never alone, ever, ever alone with a woman, or even my myself when I’m traveling.
