Threads on Democratic underground should be interesting.
They’re all consumed with the oil spill. But I did find this that had no comments after it and followed the link.
The Chronicle of Higher Education. (couldn’t find it on the excerpts list)

Students at Northern Arizona University who hope to skip large lecture courses may have more trouble doing so this fall: The university is installing an electronic system that measures student attendance.
The university is using $75,000 in federal stimulus money to install the system, which will detect the ID cards students are carrying as they enter large classrooms, The Arizona Republic reported on Tuesday. (The cards can be read by an electronic sensor.) Faculty members can choose to receive electronic attendance reports.
The biggest laugh is that they are just choking over the polls that show Americans overwhelmingly support Arizona’s immigration law. They just can’t handle that people don’t want what they have to offer.
